Nutrition 21’s Nitrosigine® is scientifically engineered to boost nitric oxide levels in athletes. The patented complex bonds arginine and silicate – unlocking powerful synergistic effects. Manufactured in the US, Nitrosigine is a safe (Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) at the level of 1,500 mg per day for use in nutritional bars and beverages) non-stimulant, effective ingredient that is easy to formulate into new and existing products for sports nutrition, men’s health and cardiovascular health.
The product has been selected as a finalist for the Engredea 2015 NutrAward for best new Functional Ingredient. Finalists were selected based on scientific merit, efficacy, market potential, safety, innovation, and ability to increase market credibility.
Nitric oxide is a key factor in increasing blood flow to working muscles. Nitrosigine is engineered to take effect in just 30 minutes, producing increased arginine levels that can last through an entire workout, for up to 3 hours – with just a single dose! With continued use, nitric oxide levels build over time. Increased NO levels can lead to even better blood flow and vessel flexibility.
“Nitrosigine is backed by pre-clinical and clinical studies showing unique benefits important to the training athlete,” said James Komorowski, MS, CNS, Vice President of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs for Nutrition 21. “We are confident that this new ingredient will have a significant impact in the sports nutrition, cardiovascular health, and men’s health categories.”
