Amino Acids, Nitric Oxide, and Vascular Function
Amino acids are most commonly associated with protein, muscle formation, and energy production. However, it is entirely debatable that amino acids are even more useful in supporting healthy cardiovascular function. In fact, amino acids are some of the most important and often neglected nutrients required for a healthy heart!
The reason behind the heart support properties of amino acids is that they have an impact on the production of nitric oxide (NO) – a chemical compound which is heavily involved in muscle tissues. NO’s positive effect on the cardiovascular system is related to its effect on muscle growth and contraction. By inhibiting this activity, NO supports blood vessel homeostasis and healthy circulation.
Amino acids L-arginine, L-citrulline, and acetyl-L-carnitine are all heavily involved in the production of NO. L-arginine is directly converted into the compound while L-citrulline and acetyl-L-carnitine support residual aspects of both NO and L-arginine production.1 Consumption of all three aminos is thought to be the most effective means of supporting healthy NO levels, and health blood vessels by proxy.
Hawthorn – The All-in-One Heart Health Herb
Hawthorn is an incredibly useful and criminally underrated herb for aiding numerous aspects of heart health. It is thought to be supportive of blood vessel function and blood flow, as well as healthy blood pressure, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels already within a natural range.2 All these benefits make Hawthorn the most holistically effective herb for heart health support.

LaTasha robinson –
These Vitamins work perfectly for me. My BP is under control with these; even if I miss a day. I am so disappointed that it’s out of stock.
