What Nitric Oxide can do for Your Health
By Louis Ignarro, Ph.D., Nobel† Laureate
In 1998, Dr. Louis Ignarro was named a Nobel† Laureate, joining an elite group
of scientists including Albert Einstein, Linus Pauling and Marie Curie, whose discoveries
have had a dramatic impact on humankind. Dr. Ignarro received the Nobel† Prize for his
groundbreaking research on the incredible health benefits of Nitric Oxide.
It’s like a trip to the gym for your cardiovascular system
With cardiovascular disease (CVD) the leading cause of death among both men and women
in America, you need every advantage you can get in protecting yourself against CVD.
The discovery of an amazing molecule, nitric oxide (NO), can help provide you with
just this sort of protection.
NO improves circulation by helping blood vessels signal the surrounding smooth
muscle to relax–which widens the arteries, increases blood flow and helps maintain
normal blood pressure. NO keeps your system youthful, toned, and flexible. In fact,
optimizing NO production is like giving your cardiovascular system a workout every
day! In addition to its numerous heart-health benefits, NO also promotes
immune-system health and acts as a neurotransmitter.
Say yes to NO
Unfortunately, a large percentage of people are deficient in their production of NO,
which puts them at increased risk of CVD. But using amino acids like L-arginine and
L-citrulline, as well as antioxidants, you can actually increase your body’s own production of NO.
To help optimize your NO production, use Niteworks
and Core Complex from Herbalife.
Quick tips from the doctor:
- Eat a healthy diet low in saturated fat to reduce the risk of plaque build-up in arteries.
- Daily exercise improves the elasticity of your blood vessels.
- Get a full night’s sleep to rest and revitalize.

CVD is #1
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart
disease and stroke, causes nearly 40% of all deaths
annually in the U.S. and is the leading cause of
death for both men and women.
