How Poor Circulation Can Impact Your Energy, Heart Health and Well-Being

Welcome, Healthier You! Readers!
Have you ever noticed that as you age, your hands and feet feel colder, your energy levels dip, or you experience occasional dizziness or brain fog? These could all be signs of poor circulation — a common issue as nitric oxide production declines with age.
Nitric oxide is a key molecule that helps relax and expand blood vessels, ensuring oxygen and nutrients are efficiently delivered throughout the body. By the time you reach 40, your nitric oxide levels may drop to 50% of what they were in your 20s — and by age 70, they can fall as low as 15–25%. This decline makes it harder for blood to flow smoothly, leading to higher blood pressure, lower energy, and reduced oxygen delivery to muscles, the brain, and the heart.
The good news? You can naturally support nitric oxide production with the right nutrients. TriVita’s Nitric Oxide Plus is formulated to enhance circulation, improve blood flow, and support heart health—allowing you to stay active, energized, and vibrant as you age.
Want to learn how to maintain strong circulation and support your body’s natural ability to produce nitric oxide?
Nitric Oxide: The Miracle Molecule for Better Health
Your body has a built-in way to keep your heart, brain, and muscles strong — a tiny but powerful molecule called nitric oxide (NO). Scientists call it the “miracle molecule” because it relaxes blood vessels, improves circulation, and supports cardiovascular health.
But as we age, nitric oxide production declines, leading to poor blood flow, reduced oxygen delivery, and increased fatigue. Boosting nitric oxide through proper nutrition and supplementation is especially critical for those over 50.
A Nobel-Winning Discovery
Nitric oxide was first identified by Joseph Priestley in the 18th century, but its true importance wasn’t revealed until much later. In 1998, scientists Robert F. Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro, and Ferid Murad received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering that nitric oxide acts as a signaling molecule in the body. Their research proved that NO helps blood vessels relax and widen, improving circulation and regulating blood pressure naturally—revolutionizing cardiovascular science.
What Makes Nitric Oxide So Important?
Nitric oxide acts as a vasodilator, expanding blood vessels to improve circulation. This reduces strain on the heart, lowers blood pressure, and ensures that oxygen and nutrients reach every cell in your body.
The Benefits of Nitric Oxide:
- Supports healthy blood pressure by improving blood vessel flexibility
- Enhances energy and stamina by increasing oxygen delivery to muscles
- Boosts brain health by improving blood flow to the brain and enhancing mental clarity
- Aids circulation and vein health by strengthening blood vessels and reducing leg swelling
How to Naturally Boost Nitric Oxide
What are the disruptors of nitric oxide production?
- Processed foods
- Lack natural nitrates
- Low in fiber needed for a healthy microbiome
- High in sugar and simple carbs that feed unhealthy bacteria
- Deficient in antioxidants, causing oxidation of blood vessel cells
- Mouthwash destroys beneficial bacteria and enzymes needed to convert nitrate to nitric oxide
- Smoking damages blood vessel linings
- Antacids reduce stomach acid required for nitric oxide production
- Excess caffeine constricts blood vessels
What enhances nitric oxide production?
- A whole-food diet rich in nitrates and antioxidants
- High-fiber foods to feed a healthy gut microbiome
- Deep breathing through the nose to oxygenate blood
- Daily use of apple cider vinegar instead of antacids
- Proper hydration to support detoxification and blood flow
- 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily
- Pre- and probiotics for gut health
- Chew food thoroughly to initiate nitric oxide conversion via saliva
