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.
