Nitric
oxide is a chemical produced in the body that keeps
blood vessels dilated, increasing blood flow.
Nitric oxide also has a wide variety of other
effects, including killing bacteria and viruses and
promoting the body's own healing of wounds and
ulcers.
Stress, aging,
injuries, intense exercise, and fighting
disease-causing organisms can all deplete the body
of nitric oxide. A human or animal that has
insufficient levels of nitric oxide will be unable
to perform to the best of its abilities. Depletion
of nitric oxide may be involved in a variety of
health problems including laminitis (founder) in
horses, gastric ulcers and infertility. Just as a
chain breaks at its weakest link, insufficient
production of nitric oxide can affect the
performance of all humans and animals and surface in
different ailments. For example, depletion of
nitric oxide can cause reduced blood flow to the
stomach, causing stomach ulcers and in another case
insufficient nitric oxide allows blood pressure to
rise excessively in the lungs, causing bleeding.
For others, insufficient production of nitric oxide
can reduce blood flow to the sexual organs, causing
infertility.
Total Health 's
products contain proprietary blends of all-natural
ingredients that are designed to stimulate
production of nitric oxide in the body. The
products are designed to nutritionally support
production of nitric oxide to replenish what is
depleted by exercise or stress, resulting in
consumer benefiting from the consumption of the
company's products on an ongoing basis to maximize
their performance.
Nitric oxide is
synthesized in the body from its nutrient precursor,
the amino acid arginine. Attempts to increase
nitric oxide production by administering large
quantities of arginine have met with limited
success. Additionally, administering substantial
amounts of arginine may have undesirable side
effects, either through stimulating insulin release
or by affecting other mechanisms.
There has been a need
for a way to increase the amount of nitric oxide
produced within the body using relatively small
doses of arginine. This was previously unattainable
until the development of the
N.P.S.
proprietary product formulation methodology.
PROPRIETARY DELIVERY
SYSTEM
NEUROTRANSMITTER PRODUCTION SUPPORT "N.P.S."
Intense
exercise, stress, injuries, illness, and aging all
can deplete the body of vital chemicals known as
neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemical
"messenger" molecules that control the functioning
of every part of the body. Insufficient levels of
various neurotransmitters can impair the functioning
of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular
system, reproductive system, and all other vital
body systems.
Numerous
pharmaceuticals stimulate the release of
neurotransmitters or act to block their breakdown,
but are unable to increase the amount of the
neurotransmitter that the body produces. Thus,
pharmaceuticals are unable to correct the underlying
deficiency of neurotransmitters that is frequently
the cause of decreased performance or ill health.
Neurotransmitters can only be formed in the body
from a select number of amino acids and other
nutrients. Additionally, in order for
neurotransmitters to be produced, certain nerve
cells must be activated. Unless these nerve cells
are activated, simply supplying nutrients is
insufficient to increase production of
neurotransmitters.
The key to increasing
the amount of the neurotransmitter produced by the
body is to supply the needed nutrients while
simultaneously activating the nerve cells
that produce the desired neurotransmitter. This
concept forms the basis of the proprietary
formulation strategy known as N.P.S.
that Total Health utilizes to create its line of
products. Total Health is targeting the production
of nitric oxide when activating the desired
neurotransmitter.
N.P.S.
is designed to achieve synergistic effects by
combining neurotransmitter precursors with
ingredients that promote neurotransmitter release.
The body keeps nerve cells turned off (inhibited
from firing) until they are needed, to prevent
neurotransmitters from continually being released.
In order
for a neurotransmitter to be synthesized, two things
need to happen. First, the nutrient the
neurotransmitter is composed of (its precursor) must
be available. Second, a neuron must be releasing a
neurotransmitter in order to initiate
neurotransmitter production. Triggering release of
a neurotransmitter activates cellular intake of its
precursor in order to replenish what was released by
increasing neurotransmitter synthesis.
To illustrate the N.P.S.
concept, imagine a factory. In order for a factory
to convert raw materials into a finished product,
the assembly line must be turned on. If the
assembly line remains inactive, the raw materials
will not be converted into the finished product.
N.P.S.-based
products are designed to "turn on" cells that change
the "raw materials" into neurotransmitters.
Previously,
administering large quantities of neurotransmitter
precursors has failed to produce significant
increases in neurotransmitter synthesis. This is
similar to delivering massive amounts of raw
materials to a factory's loading dock and having
them remain unused because the assembly line was not
turned on. N.P.S.
is designed to increase the amount of a
neurotransmitter produced by supplying a
neurotransmitter precursor and simultaneously
promoting neuron firing.
N.P.S.
addresses the crucial components that are essential
for neurotransmitter synthesis to occur. N.P.S.
targets the same process the body uses to activate
neurotransmitter synthesis, allowing N.P.S.
to significantly increase neurotransmitter synthesis
using minimal amounts of the individual agents.
Targeting each of the crucial mechanisms needed to
activate synthesis of a neurotransmitter is similar
to opening a door locked with a combination lock.
By entering the correct combination, the locked door
opens easily. Attempting to promote synthesis of a
neurotransmitter by administering multi-gram
quantities of its precursor can be likened to
opening the door by using a bulldozer.
N.P.S.-based
products are formulated to normalize body
functions. These products are not designed to
stimulate or inhibit mechanisms within the body, as
with drugs. Drugs can produce undesirable effects
in a healthy body by inhibiting or stimulating
mechanisms beyond the normal range. Products based
on N.P.S.
principles are designed to only restore
under-functioning mechanisms to within the normal
range. This results in N.P.S.-based products having
a tremendously greater margin of safety as compared
to pharmaceuticals.
