Nitric oxide is a small, labile, lipid-permeable free radical molecule. It is synthesized from the amino acid l-arginine by NO synthase. When L-arginine is converted to nitric oxide, L-citrulline is produced as a by-product. L-citrulline can then be recycled back to L-arginine and used to increase your body’s natural production of nitric oxide.
Nitric oxide (NO) is very important in supporting mind- body wellness.
Nitric oxide is one of the most important molecules for your blood vessel health, being a vasodilator plays a very important role in transport of blood, oxygen & nutrients to different parts of the body, eliminates toxins that lead to muscle fatigue.
Nitric oxide is the ergogenic category of supplements that makes it best suitable for an endurance athlete, training at intermediate to advanced level.
In 1980 Robert Furchgott investigated the role of a drug called acetylcholine on vasodilation and found that relaxation of blood vessels only occurred if a special class of cells called endothelial cells were present. Behind the endothelial cells are another specialised type of cell known as smooth muscle cells. The contraction and relaxation of these muscle cells is thought to be responsible for constricting or dilating the blood vessels.
The main ingredients of nitric oxide supplements are arginine and citrulline. These two amino acids are known to be nitric oxide precursors of nitric oxide and therefore supplementing with arginine and citrulline can improve nitric oxide serum levels.
Nitric oxide reduces the amount of lactic acid produced during exercise and extends the amount of time until exhaustion. By speeding up the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles under stress, nitric oxide improves their response to exercise and so increases sports performance, which helps in recovery and muscle gain
Nitric oxide being a vasodilator helps to relaxes the inner muscles of your blood vessels, causing the vessels to widen, which increases blood flow and lowers blood pressure.
The arteries make nitric oxide to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to organs because it is a vasodilator, which means it widens or relaxes the arteries so that more blood can flow through, therefore lowering the pressure within the arterial system
Nitric oxide as vasodilator- improves blood flow throughout the body which preventing clots
It is even a powerful neurotransmitter; it plays a key role in the switch between Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System responses.
NO provided provides analgesia (pain relief) and even lower blood pressure due to its vasodilatory properties
