What are Nitric Oxide Supplements?   Nitric Oxide, or NO in scientific circles, is one of the most important molecules in our body. Not unlike a policeman directing traffic at a busy intersection, NO directs the communication between the busiest cells in the body: brain cells, blood cells, immune system cells and from all body systems where communication is most critical. Nitric Oxide is so important that no organ in our bodies could function without it.

An important study confirms that Adaptogen 10 Plus helps raise nitric oxide levels, essential for good health.

In 1998, three scientists were awarded the Noble Peace Prize in Medicine for discovering Nitric Oxide’s function in our bodies. Nitric Oxide keeps our blood pressure normal, helps us to think clearly, helps our bodies to fight off infection, prevents the development of blood clots and  atherosclerosis. Many ‘diseases of aging’ are simply a deficiency of Nitric Oxide.

A team of scientists lead by Nathan S. Bryan, Ph.D., Professor of Molecular Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, recently tested Adaptogen 10 Plus for Nitric Oxide activity and confirmed the incredible value of Adaptogen 10 Plus. If you’re seeking nitric oxide supplements then you need to look at Adaptogen 10 Plus.

Dr. Bryan supervises cardiovascular research in the heart health field. His field of specialty is Nitric Oxide, how to get it and how to keep it. The patients in Dr. Bryan’s research center suffer from a host of Nitric Oxide related disorders, including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, an seemingly endless list of maladies. In every case, Dr. Bryan sees that the patient benefits more the higher they can raise the Nitric Oxide level. Restoring Nitric Oxide production in the body, has become one of the main strategies in treating and protecting against many diseases.

Dr. Bryan and his research center discovered that Adaptogen 10 Plus contains natural Nitric Oxide metabolites that help to restore normal Nitric Oxide biochemistry within our bodies. This important benefit is in addition to its high antioxidant capacity and adaptive stress molecules. Our bodies gradually, over time, lose the ability to produce Nitric Oxide at sufficient levels to maintain optimal health. Stress, pollution, nutrient deficient diets also deplete our Nitric Oxide reserves. A healthy diet, sleep, exercise and the rest of TriVita’s 10 essentials contribute to Nitric Oxide activity and to good health.  That’s why many people who are smart in health and nutrition are seeking nitric oxide supplements and taking a look at Adaptogen 10 Plus.

The amount of Nitric Oxide in Adaptogen 10 Plus has been shown to protect against vascular inflammation, reduce injury from a heart attack or stroke and restore Nitric Oxide homeostasis in animal models. This unique blend of of antioxidants and Nitric Oxide metabolites is essential for brain and heart health. Combining a regimen of Adaptogen 10 Plus with TriVita’s 10 Essentials will help ensure optimal health.

TriVita did all of the heavy lifting with Adaptogen 10 Plus, all you need to do to create a better tomorrow for yourself and your health is try Adaptogen 10 Plus today.

We are a people on fire!

Less than a hundred years ago the common health challenges we faced were infections. With the discovery of pathogenic bacteria and the advent of proper hygiene, death from these problems became less common. Inflammation has become the new epicenter of disease, disability and death.

Inflammation and the immune system
Our immune system uses heat to destroy invading bacteria. A specialized cell called a macrophage douses the invader with inflammatory enzymes (like acids) and the heat generated in this battle destroys the invading bacteria.

Sometimes our own healthy cells become the focus for disease. This often happens because of toxic exposure. When we eat, drink or breathe a toxin, or if it is absorbed through our skin, our detoxification system works to remove it before the poison can compromise our health. Unfortunately, many of today’s poisons are simply too strong and they overwhelm our detoxification system and enter healthy cells. These cells now become the target of disease, infection and inflammation. Our immune system must treat them as hostile and use heat to destroy them.

Autoimmune diseases arise when our immune system becomes so overworked that it can no longer tell the difference between healthy cells and sick cells. It attacks all cells of a particular type equally. This body system is never able to heal and chronic inflammation sets in.

The weakest link
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. You are only as healthy as your weakest body system. How robust you are depends mostly on lifestyle choices, somewhat on your environment and a little on your genetics.

When a toxin overwhelms your detoxification process it will likely settle in your weakest system. The immune system melts these polluted cells in an effort to save healthy cells. This is acute inflammation. With chronic toxicity comes the opportunity for chronic inflammation. In the case of chronic inflammation, the immune system attacks any sick cell as well as any healthy cell that looks like the sick one. If the immune system attacks connective tissue we say a person has lupus. If it attacks the beta cells of the pancreas we say they have type 1 diabetes. If it attacks the joints we say they have rheumatoid arthritis.

These are only a few of the more than 200 autoimmune diseases. Yet they all share one common attribute: inflammation.

Putting the fire out
Inflammation arises because of:

• Toxins
• Injuries
• Emotional distress
• Nutrient deficiency

We simply must reduce our toxic exposure to reduce the chances of developing an autoimmune disorder. And we must also develop emotional coping strategies and have all of the nutrients we need in our body in the right quantity – every moment of every day. These are the first steps to reducing inflammation.

We can directly douse the fire with anti-inflammatory Betalains such as those found in TriVita’s Nopalea. A Betalain is a protein-antioxidant complex found in certain plants grown in hot climates. The hotter the climate, the more Betalains the plant needs to survive and the more we can benefit.

Nutrient strategies
According to most authorities, everyone needs to be taking a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement every day. This is even more important for people trying to tame their immune system in an autoimmune flare-up. We also need to eat foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and take Omega EFA supplements. These fats not only reduce inflammation but they also make your immune system work smarter, not harder. Antioxidants are critical to putting out the fire of inflammation. Betalain “protein-antioxidants” are extremely powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients. Finally, Vitamin B-12 and adaptogens form a bulwark against the blues and physical stress.

We are a nation on fire. This is at the heart of the near epidemic of autoimmune disorders we are facing. Strategies of nutrients and nurturing will help us fight inflammation and help us with what we do best: heal!

Your memory is an amazing miracle. Each second, your brain processes billions of bits of information from your five senses. You may consciously perceive only a very small percentage of this information because one function of your brain is to filter out unimportant information. The things you remember will usually be advantageous to you, such as remembering your wedding anniversary date as well as where the speed trap is on your drive home.

Memory is divided into two basic groups:

1. Short-term memory
2. Long-term memory

Short-term memories are quickly forgotten when they are no longer important. Practicing or rehearsing can improve your memory by moving more information into the long-term category. For instance, when I am distracted by stress I may not be able to remember where I left my car keys. That information was deleted from my short-term memory. However, if I consciously say, “I am hanging my car keys on the hook,” I am far more likely to remember where they are.

How to keep a memory

Reduce stress
Stress kills your memory. The stress system is designed to ensure survival. It helps us fight off a snarling dog or flee from a menacing bear. As important as that is, humans do more every day than merely survive. If you want to have a good, healthy memory, do all you can to reduce the need for fight or flight stress responses.

Learn something new
As I mentioned earlier, practicing or rehearsing something enhances memory. So does learning something new. You see, memory is facilitated through the billions of neurons and synapses in your brain by patterns: retracing old patterns as well as creating new patterns. The more new things we master, the more connections we create and the better our overall memory will be.

If you want to remember your anniversary, start learning a foreign language. If you want to remember important names, learn how to play a musical instrument. The more you learn – and the more you connect the old with the new – the better your overall memory will be.

How to nourish a memory
Certain nutrients help the memory remain sharp. These nutrients fall into two basic categories: those that create brain structure and those that nourish brain function.

Your brain is made mostly of fat. And the majority of that fat is an Omega-3 fatty acid called DHA. So, to have a healthy brain we need healthy fats like TriVita.com/13160615″ target=”_blank”>OmegaPrime. Your nerve cells convert some fats into functional nerve proteins called myelin. Formation of myelin requires dietary protein and Vitamin B-12. So, for healthy brain structure and function we need Omega-3 fats, healthy dietary protein and Vitamin B-12.

When the memory is activated it creates heat in the brain. To fuel the memory, quench the heat, and repair the daily wear and tear on your brain, you need antioxidants. Certain antioxidants specifically target brain function. A recent study at Arizona State University demonstrated that the antioxidants found in Optima4 not only helped golfers perform better on the course, but they also significantly improved their memory.

What do you remember?
To recap: Occasional memory lapses usually indicate you are distracted by stress. Rehearsing things you want to remember will help and practicing new things that you have learned will help as well. Because new behaviors create new pathways in your brain, learning something new such as a foreign language or musical instrument can improve your overall memory.

Stress kills your memory. Nutrients such as Omega-3, Vitamin B-12 and brain-specific antioxidants such as those found in Optima4 help rebuild and restore your ability to remember. With all of these tools at your disposal you have access to the power of a healthy memory.
