HC-NOx : Heart and Circulation, Nitric Oxide Formula

Description: The Heart and Circulation, Nitric Oxide formula is made to boost levels of nitric oxide in the blood, which relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, reverses arterial plaque, and strengthens connective tissues. Due to the growth hormone releasing effects of arginine formulas, they are often used before exercise to improve performance and are also useful as a libido stimulant. HC-NOx provides relaxation effects and assists sleep, so is popular taken before bed.

HC-NOx consists of arginine and glutamine buffered with ascorbic, citric, and malic acids along with other nutrients including vitamins and herb extracts plus lime juice powder. Using the full 2 rounded teaspoon dose, it provides 4 grams of arginine, but is also beneficial taken in smaller amounts such as ½ to 1 teaspoon and a regimen should be started using this smaller amount to acclimate to the strong action.

The ascorbic, citric, and malic acids included in the formula hide the strong taste of the arginine and it also includes a good deal of xylitol and some stevia extract to take the edge off the acids, but the predominate taste is bitter, from the large amount of herb extracts. It can be mixed in pineapple juice to hide the taste. Unlike Electroherbalism’s Mineral Ascorbates formulas, HC-NOx is not effervescent so does not have to be mixed in liquid before use, but it is still recommended to do so to make it easier to administer. It is an excellent complement to Mineral Ascorbates Heart and Circulation and/or HC-3 formula, but should be taken separately since arginine can interfere with the absorption of lysine. High arginine formulas like HC-NOx should not be taken by those who suffer from herpes simplex virus.
