Our Story
By Dr. Paul Bernitt, Board-Certified Director of Holistic Health
Learn how essential amino acids and nitric oxide work together—supported by TriVita’s hero products—to boost your strength and blood flow naturally.
Have you ever felt tired after strenuous daily activities and noticed that your muscles don’t bounce back like they used to? It might be because your body isn’t getting all the support it needs to stay strong and healthy. In order for our muscles to provide the necessary strength, balance and energy, they need amino acids to repair and grow. Similarly, our blood vessels need nitric oxide to help blood flow, cognitive function and energy as well.
TriVita’s hero products—Nitric Oxide Plus, on-the-go Beetroot Gummies and MyoHealth—work together to give your body better blood flow. By incorporating these supplements and other healthy lifestyle activities, you may also notice improved function of memory, blood pressure and stronger muscles to reduce loss of balance due to muscle weakness, decreasing your risk for falls. Join me as we explore the natural health benefits of nitrates and amino acids to help you live with greater wellness.
Understanding Amino Acids and Proteins
Our body needs twenty different amino acids to work properly. Out of these, nine are called “essential” EAAs, because our bodies cannot make them. We must get these from our food or supplements. The other 11 amino acids are “non-essential,” because our body can produce them on its own. When these amino acids combine, they form proteins—the building blocks of the cells our vital organs are made of.
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
BCAAs have a unique branched structure that connects amino acids together to form specific proteins in the body such as skin, blood vessels, vital organs and, well, every protein the body needs. Branched amino acids not only build healthy tissue, they also repair tissues. As an example, without enough amino acids, our muscles can’t recover well after a workout or even the stress of daily living, and we might lose not only strength and muscle, but also tissue from our vital organs over time.
The Role of Nitric Oxide
Now let’s explore nitric oxide, a special gas produced by our endothelial cells (the cells lining our blood vessels) and by enzymes like nitric oxide synthase. It is not the same as nitrous oxide, which is also known as laughing gas. Nitric oxide helps our blood vessels widen—a process called vasodilation—which means blood can flow more easily throughout our bodies. This is very important for:
- Blood Flow
Improved blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients reach your muscles during exercise.
- Strength and Endurance
With better circulation, your muscles work harder and recover faster.
- Cognitive Function
Improved blood flow ensures adequate blood flow can get to all the regions of the brain to maintain focus, memory and recall.
- Overall Health
Nitric oxide also helps regulate blood pressure, boosts energy and even supports your immune system.
Age and Nitric Oxide Depletion
Did you know that as we age, our bodies naturally produce less nitric oxide? Every 10 years, we lose about 10-12% of our nitric oxide production. By the time many reach age 40, their nitric oxide levels drop to about half of what they were in their 20s. This reduction continues so that by age 60, levels might be as low as 15%. Lower nitric oxide can lead to poor blood flow, less endurance and slower recovery after exercise.
TriVita’s Heroes to the Rescue
Now, here’s where TriVita’s products come in to help support your body.
This supplement is designed to boost your body’s nitric oxide levels naturally. It is rich in nitrates and other natural ingredients, which are shown to support natural nitric oxide production and better blood flow to vital organs such as the brain, extremities and all vital organs. With more resources to stimulate natural nitric oxide production, your endothelial cells produce more nitric oxide and support the extra pathways your body uses to make this important gas, providing access to increased energy.

Beetroot is naturally rich in nitrates. When you eat beetroot or use beetroot supplements, those nitrates are converted by healthy bacteria in your mouth into nitric oxide. Beetroot Gummies from TriVita make it easy and tasty to get your daily dose of nitrates on the go. Just pop a couple of these when you need more energy, and feel the difference. They work hand in hand with Nitric Oxide Plus to help your blood flow better and boost your nitric oxide capacity naturally. Discover Beetroot Gummies.
MyoHealth Essential Amino Acid Complex
MyoHealth contains the first U.S.-patented blend of all 9 essential amino acids sourced from plants. It helps increase lean muscle mass, reduce muscle soreness and speed up recovery after injury or exercise. With stronger muscles you are able to reduce the risks of falls due to weakness and loss of balance. Because your muscles rely on these amino acids to build and repair themselves, MyoHealth is a key player in keeping you strong. Check out MyoHealth.
How These Products Work Together
Each of TriVita’s products supports a different part of your body’s health:
- Nitric Oxide Plus kickstarts your day with ingredients designed to help keep your blood vessels wide and your blood flowing, thereby supporting vital functions of the brain and other organs, healthy blood pressure, energy and stamina.
- Beetroot Gummies provide an on-the-go way to get the natural nitrates needed to make more nitric oxide throughout the day.
- MyoHealth ensures your muscles get the essential amino acids they need for strength, repair and growth, resulting in better strength and balance.
Together, they form a powerful trio that can help you improve your muscle strength, enhance endurance, support healthy blood pressure, increase blood flow and speed up recovery from sickness or everyday stress.
Lifestyle Tips to Boost Your Natural Nitric Oxide and Amino Acid Levels
While supplements like TriVita’s Nitric Oxide Plus, Beetroot Gummies and Myohealth are a great help, a healthy lifestyle can also support your body’s ability to produce nitric oxide and use amino acids effectively. Try these tips:
- Eat a Whole Food Diet
Include plenty of leafy green vegetables, celery, beets and other nitrate-rich foods. Consume unprocessed protein rich in amino acids such as beef, poultry, seafood, eggs and dairy.
- Stay Active
Regular exercise, even a brisk 30-minute walk, can improve natural nitric oxide production, blood flow and muscle strength.
- Breathe Deeply
Deep breathing through your nose increases oxygenation and helps maintain healthy nitric oxide levels.
- Avoid Disruptors
Reduce processed foods and beverages high in sugar, chemicals, additives and preservatives, as well as overuse of alcohol.
Conclusion
Taking care of your body means giving it the right tools to build lean muscle and keep blood flowing freely. TriVita’s Nitric Oxide Plus, Beetroot Gummies and MyoHealth Essential Amino Acid Complex are designed to work together to help you achieve greater energy, blood flow to vital organs, strength, improved endurance and faster recovery. These natural supplements are an effective way to support your health. Remember, a strong body starts with great blood flow and the right building blocks for muscle and tissue repair.
