Benefits of Nitrosigine

Nitrosigine

Nitrosigine is typically used in sports nutrition to enhance nitric oxide levels and improve blood flow, endurance, and recovery.

Overview

What is Nitrosigine? Nitrosigine is a highly popular blood flow ingredient comprised of a patented Bonded Arginine Silicate complex. In recent years, the popularity of Nitrosigine has blown up - and rightfully so. The benefits of Nitrosigine are well documented; over 30 research studies are available to supports Nitrosigine's health claims.

But how exactly does Nitrosigine work? Let's talk about it ⬇️

Blood Flow

In order to understand Nitrosigine, it's important to understand the role nitric oxide plays in blood flow. Nitric oxide expands blood vessels through a process called vasodilation. This mechanism allows more blood to be delivered to your muscles; at the same time, it also helps to remove waste products on its way out. Since blood is the carrier of oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissue, increases in blood flow proves to be especially beneficial for exercise performance.

To keep it simple, think of it like this. Your blood vessels are pipes. The wider the pipes, the more water can flow through them. It works the same for blood flow; the wider the blood vessels, the more blood can flow through and be delivered to muscle tissue!

As mentioned, Nitrosigine is comprised of a Bonded Arginine Silicate complex. Arginine is a direct precursor to nitric oxide; however, it's bioavailability is extremely low. This means that a small amount of supplemented arginine is actually available for the body to put to use. However, due to it's unique composition, Nitrosigine is significantly more bioavailable than pure arginine itself and has been shown to outperform arginine in both 1) efficiency and 2) length of time in which serum arginine levels remain increased. As previously mentioned, arginine is a direct precursor to nitric oxide, so increases in serum arginine levels proves to be especially beneficial for enhancing nitric oxide levels and promoting overall performance in the gym. For an additional benefit, silicon contributes to enhanced blood flow by improving the flexibility of arterial walls, known as the endothelium.

Nitrosigine also out-performs arginine in terms of increased blood flow and decreased biomarkers of fatigue following exercise. Because ingredients like citrulline, citrulline malate, and Nitrosigine bypass liver metabolism and provide significantly higher absorption rates than arginine itself, they've essentially put pure arginine supplementation out of commission.

Lastly, Nitrosigine has also been shown to promote focus and mental acuity due to increased blood flow to the brain.

Studies

The University of Arkansas published an independent study showing that a single dose of Nitrosigine (1.5g) enhanced blood flow and vasodilation to the same extent as 8g citrulline malate! Talk about efficiency 😳
