Pycnogenol; you don’t have to be able to pronounce it to benefit from this powerful antioxidant.

Pycnogenol has many actions in the body, but I am going to concentrate in only one in particular, in this article.

Pycongenol has been found to optimize the production of Nitric Oxide within the lining of your arteries.

And you may be asking yourself:

So what?

The answer is: Nitric oxide plays a role in many biochemical functions. By increasing blood flow, it improves memory and attention; it improves the performance of the kidneys, lungs and liver; it aids with cardiovascular performance; and it is responsible for the male erection.

As far as heart disease, I am sure you are familiar with the nitroglycerine pills that heart disease patients carry with them at all times in case of an angina attack (chest pains). What these nitro pills do is release nitric oxide, which relaxes the coronary arteries and allows more blood to flow into the heart.

One important fact about Pycongenol is that, it is and optimizer of the production of nitric oxide. Too much nitric oxide can kill cells.

Pycongenol helps regulate the nitric oxide levels in the body. It helps the body produce adequate levels for necessary functions, and it reduces levels if they are too high and could do harm.

Another important function of the nitric oxide that is produce in the inner lining, or endothelium, of the arteries is that; it acts to increase the production of a chemical messenger called “cyclic- GMP” (guanosine monophosphate), which is needed to keep blood pellets slippery and not prone to clumping and aggregation. This last function is very important for people that suffer from heart disease and stroke.

Currently an American has a heart attack every 20 seconds. Most of these victims never had a clue until just seconds before they had their first heart attack. Of those having a heart attack for the first time 42% survive.  

According to the statistics, if you make a list of the 10 people closes to you 6 of them are going to become victims of heart disease, and 2 of them are going to die the first time it happens to them.

I want you to know, you are playing Russian roulette with your life, and most important I want to give you the opportunity to do something about it.
