Nitric Oxide: the new wonder compound
A blend of amino acids, anti-oxidants and vitamins formulated for optimum cardiovascular health.
Nitric Oxide is a gaseous compound produced by your own body by the endothelial layer (inner lining one cell thick) of your blood vessels to signal the surrounding smooth muscle tissue in the blood vessel to relax, thus resulting in elasticity of the blood vessels, vasodilatation (opening of the blood vessels) and increased blood flow.
Good circulation is critical not only in ensuring good oxygenation and optimum nutrition to the cells thus avoiding cell damage and even cell death but also in the removal of toxins and the detoxification process.
With our modern lifestyle including a poor diet (including high levels of salt, damaged fats and processed foods), sedentary habits and high stress levels comes a tendency for the endothelial layer to be damaged over time and this leads to impaired Nitric Oxide production.
Once the body has stopped producing sufficient NO cardiovascular disease is soon to follow, including such symptoms as high blood pressure, hypertension, sleep disorders and insomnia, poor circulation, low energy levels, myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries), hardening of the arteries, angina and build up of arterial plaque.
What you need to know
*Statistics provided by The Heart and Stroke Foundation of South Africa
- Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death globally.
- About 195 South Africans die each day of the disease.
- One in three South African men and one in four women will have a heart condition by the age of 60
- It is predicted that heart disease will be the worlds no 1 cause of death by 2020
- In South Africa more than half the deaths occur before the age of 65. These premature deaths affect the workforce and economy.
- Up to 80% of cardiovascular disease can be prevented through lifestyle changes.
When NO is reintroduced through supplementation the endothelial layer is regenerated and the blood vessels are dilated instantly, improving circulation and regulating blood pressure.
With the NOW supplement you can restore your circulation to optimum levels, de-stress your heart and age proof your cardiovascular system.

- Improves nutrition, oxygenation and removal of toxic waste from all cells in the body.
Nitric oxide boosting exercise
We suggest building up to exercising for a minimum of 20 - 30 minutes per day, a small price to pay for your cardiovascular and general health.
Moderate exercise is part of your health regime. We advocate aerobic activities that cause deep breathing, using the major muscles of the body. Exercise workouts must be moderate and easy, we do not advocate the “no pain no gain” attitude.
Always check with your doctor before embarking on a fitness programme.
Aim for a heart rate of 100 - 120 beats per minute for your body to produce extra nitric oxide.
Nutritional guidelines
Along with taking nitric oxide boosting supplements and exercising, it is advisable to incorporate a healthy diet in order to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.
Avoid saturated fats, trans fats, processed fats and food that contributes to the build up of cholesterol and excess weight. We advocate as much as possible a diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, fibre, chicken, turkey, fish and pork, over the predominant diets of beef and lamb/mutton. Cut down on dairy products that are full of fat and sodium or salt. Cookies, crisps, fries, fast foods also pose a danger to your health, with hidden trans fats.
The golden rule is “just because it tastes good, doesn’t mean it is good for you”, we are victims of our taste buds. Beware, you are eating yourself to ill health or death. This is easily corrected. For further info contact us at info@noworx.com. |
