Wellness ImmuNitric™ is an advanced daily immune support formula that features researched amounts of L-arginine and L-citrulline, two amino acids essential to producing healthy levels of nitric oxide in the body. It’s designed to help activate the body’s innate and adaptive immune responses and supports cardiovascular and respiratory systems, which is especially important during times of imbalance.*
First identified as a gas in 1772, nitric oxide is an elegant molecule that consists of a single atom of oxygen and a single atom of nitrogen. In the 1980s, researchers discovered nitric oxide could be used to support normal blood pressure. In 1998, the three scientists who discovered that nitric oxide helps to regulate blood pressure and also maintain healthy blood vessels were awarded the Nobel Prize.*
Virtually every cell type in the body produces nitric oxide and it plays an important role in supporting healthy cell function. Because it supports blood flow, nitric oxide has become the poster molecule for sexual function and performance. It supports cardiovascular and respiratory health and helps protect tissues from damage caused by low blood supply. Plus, it plays a key role in the regulation of the immune system.*
Wellness ImmuNitric™ employs the semi-essential amino acids L-arginine and L-citrulline to “switch on” the body’s production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide can be converted from certain foods that contain L-arginine (nuts, meats, milk and milk products, and legumes) and L-citrulline (watermelon). It can also be produced in the body. Wellness ImmuNitric is formulated to support these processes.*
Humanity is rapidly developing a rich, new awareness of how the immune system functions. Eighty percent of the immune response is generated in the gastrointestinal system, which operates with the sophistication and consciousness of a second brain. And as this amazing science is fleshed out, we’re discovering equally amazing new pathways to support it.*
Source Naturals has illuminated new pathways to immune health since launching our category-defining Wellness Formula® in 1982. We’ve long stood for innovation that embraces the health-enhancing value of nutritional compounds the body already recognizes. For more information, click here .*
Source Naturals products are manufactured by Threshold Enterprises at our facility in Scotts Valley, CA, which manufactures under the Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) established by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As a part of our commitment to quality, we do several forms of testing at our in-house Quality Control Lab, including botany, morphology, microscopy, high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS), spectrophotometric methods (UV-Vis, FTIR), testing for microbial contamination, and other scientifically valid methods. Every ingredient is also tested in-house for heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury) via state-of-the-art inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). All of our products meet federal and state regulatory limitations for these heavy metals. This is to ensure our customers receive the only highest-quality ingredients.
