Q: If Nitric Oxide is a gas, why does Niteworks® come in powder form?
A: Herbalife developed Niteworks® with Dr. Lou Ignarro, who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Dr. Ignarro’s research showed that Nitric Oxide helps to keep blood vessels toned, flexible and youthful for improved circulation. His research further showed that Nitric Oxide enhances blood flow, supporting function of the heart, brain and other organs. His additional research has shown that the combination of two amino acids, L-Arginine and L-Citrulline, helps to support Nitric Oxide production in the body. Herbalife developed Niteworks® as a powder with these two amino acids. This product also contains Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin E for antioxidant protection.

Q: Why is it important to start taking heart health supplements now?
A: Don’t wait. The best way to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system is to start now, before you have developed risk factors for heart disease.

A packette of Core Complex supplies 1.3 grams of plant sterols.
