13. Nobel Prize research - nitric oxide lowers blood pressure

It's whats in Viagra - l'arginine is an amino acid which produces nitric oxide in the body. It dilates your blood vessels and lowers your pressure. It also ups your sex drive naturally. I take 2000 mg morning and night with magnesium citrate and it works for me. Actually, watermelon has lots of arginine.

Dr. Louis Ignarro, a profesor of Pharmacology at the UCLA School of Medicine, won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1998 for his research on Nitric Oxide. He has a book "NO More Heart Disease."

"Summary
Dr. Louis Ignarro discovered the molecule of cardiovascular health Nitric Oxide (NO)which is produced naturally by the human body and serves as a regulator of blood pressure to help prevent blood clots. The problem is that many people find this out too late, going through life without understanding that this all-important molecule is the difference between healthy living and a heart attack. With all the focus on new diets, Dr. Ignarros research is all the more vital. In an easy-to-follow plan which discusses NO friendly foods and informs about supplements to stimulate NO production he lays out a regimen that age-proofs the cardiovascular system, keeping it clean and the blood vessels strong. The Say Yes to NO program allows readers to tap into the bodys own cardiovascular drug and discover that the littlest molecule can make a tremendous difference."
