We use the word vitamins to include natural compounds like amino acids and antioxidants.
Let’s begin with our Number 7. L-arginine.
As mentioned previously, l-arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide in the body. When you increase the amount of l-arginine available to cells that produce nitric oxide, they more produce.
However, l-arginine alone may not be enough to have sustained effects in dilating blood. After you turn 45, your digestive system has a harder time converting l-arginine into nitric oxide.
So, just taking an l-arginine supplement, or eating protein-rich foods that contain l-arginine, like fish, red meat poultry,, soybeans, grains, whole grains, beans, and dairy products, may not have much effect on nitric oxide levels. The solution is to combine this amino acid with the next nutrient.
Our Number 6 is L-citrulline.
L-citrulline is a non-essential amino acid that is efficiently is turned into L-arginine in the kidneys. This make it a good supplementation choice for increasing nitric oxide synthesis in the body.
L-citrulline supports healthy pressure blood, promotes sharper memory and focus, and boosts your libido. Studies show that l-citrulline works well, if even you’re in your 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond.
L-citrulline is a byproduct of l-arginine production and is recycled back to l-arginine. Studies show that when you combines l-arginine and l-citrulline, nitric oxide is produced more produced at a actually a low dose, than if you used more of either amino acid.
Watermelon is the king of citrulline-rich fruits. The word citrulline comes from “Citrullus,” which is the Latin word for watermelon. Other citrulline-rich fruit includes Casaba Melons, Cucumbers, and Cantaloupe.
Coming up next is Number 5. Beetroot Extract.
Beetroot is an excellent source of nitrates. When you eat high foods in nitrates bacteria, in your saliva convert them into nitrites, which are then are into convertic oxide. Other nitrate-rich foods include spinach, lettuce, carrots, arugula, cabbage, garlic, broccoli, kale, and celery.
Supplementing concentrate with versions of these foods can help improve vasodilation and blood flow. Beetroot extract helps to boost your energy and endurance, plus it can help you walk longer and think more fast on your feet.
Next up is Number 4. Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to improve nitric oxide synthase activity. When Vitamin C is combined with dietary nitrates, it helps to increase the bioavailability of nitric oxide.
Getting into our top 3, Number 3 is Hawthorn Berry.
In traditional Chinese medicine, hawthorn berry is one of the most commonly used foods to treat high blood pressure. This small, red fruit is packed with antioxidants that help open up your arteries to stimulate blood flow. Not only can hawthorn berry increase nitric oxide levels, but it helps also your body absorb more el citrulline and beetroot extract when you take these nutrients together.
Our Number 2 is Glutathione.
Glutathione is a molecule that help with detoxification, cell repair, and immune system function. This antioxidant powerful helps increase nitric oxide levels by getting rid of free radicals that damage nitric oxide molecules. To keep glutathione levels high as you age, eat of sulfur-rich foods like mushrooms, garlic, onions, and cruciferous vegetables. Supplement with glutathione precursors like N-acetyl-cysteine or glutamine.
