What if it’s not aging—but what your body is missing—that’s making movement harder? Discover the science of strength, circulation and sustained energy.
When Getting Up Feels Like Climbing a Mountain
Have you noticed it’s getting harder to rise from a chair, climb stairs or get out of bed? Do you feel winded after a short walk or find yourself hesitating on stairs you used to climb with ease? Are you finding that doing what used to feel effortless now takes planning, breath and willpower? Maybe you chalk it up to age. Maybe you quietly grieve what feels like the “new normal.” But, what if your body is actually asking for help?
Movement Is the Evidence of Life—So What’s Getting in the Way?
Most adults over 50 experience subtle, creeping declines, such as weaker muscles, low energy, uncertain balance and worry about losing independence.
It doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a slow fade. But, here’s the good news: it’s not just aging. In truth, your body can be nourished and supported. And when that happens, circulation improves, muscle builds faster than it is lost, and energy is renewed.
Strength can return. Energy can rise. Confidence can be rebuilt.
The Foundation of All Movement: Circulation
Without strong circulation, everything else slows down—muscles, brain, immune system and energy.
In fact, poor circulation can cause:
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Cold hands and feet
- Swelling and heaviness
- Increased blood pressure
- Slow wound healing
That’s why a discovery in 1998 by three Nobel Prize-winning scientists was so revolutionary… Nitric oxide, noted as the “miracle molecule,” relaxes blood vessels and supports healthy blood flow so that nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood can reach all your cells. At TriVita, we formulated Nitric Oxide Plus—a unique supplement featuring ingredients that help support natural nitric oxide production to enhance blood flow, thereby supplying oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to where your body needs it most: your muscles, brain, heart and other vital organs.
Nitric Oxide Plus includes:
- Concentrated beetroot, rich in nitrates
- L-arginine and L-citrulline, shown to stimulate blood vessels to dilate and release nitric oxide
- Magnesium to relax muscle tissue
- Horse chestnut to support healthy veins
Need on-the-go support? Kick start your day with Nitric Oxide Plus, and take Beetroot Gummies with you wherever you go, to promote circulation throughout your day.
What It Feels Like to Lose Strength… And to Get It Back
You might not even realize how much muscle you’ve lost—until your body tells you. The average adult loses 3-8% of muscle mass per decade starting in their 30s. After age 60, that decline speeds up. The medical term is sarcopenia—age-related loss of muscle and function.
Muscle loss shows up as:
- Muscle weakness and reduced stamina
- Unsteadiness and increased risk of falls
- Trouble recovering from illness or injury
But, strength and muscle can be rebuilt at any age.
TriVita’s MyoHealth® delivers 9 clinically validated essential amino acids (EAAs)—the exact ratio perfected over 40 years of research by Dr. Robert Wolfe. Backed by 25 human clinical studies, MyoHealth helps:
- Rebuild and preserve lean muscle
- Improve balance and mobility
- Accelerate recovery from illness, surgery or inactivity
When you take MyoHealth you don’t just feel stronger—you are stronger.
The Fuel Behind Your Movement: Energy at the Cellular Level
Energy isn’t just a feeling. It’s a biochemical process.
And as we age, cells become less efficient at producing the energy that fuels your life.
This is where TriVita’s Super B-12 formula comes in. Our patented blend delivers:
- Vitamin B12, essential for red blood cell formation and nervous system support
- Vitamins B6 and B9 (folate), vital for converting food into usable fuel
- Ginseng root, a time-tested adaptogen shown to improve stamina, mental clarity and motivation
The result?
- Clearer thinking
- More consistent energy
- Better emotional balance
- A real desire to get moving again
You Were Made to Move—Don’t Let Age Say Otherwise
Every system in your body—from your circulation to your brain—thrives on movement.
It’s not a luxury… It’s not a bonus… It’s the proof that life is happening.
So if movement has become harder…
If energy has become elusive…
If your strength doesn’t feel like your own anymore…
You’re not broken. You may simply need the proper support.
