Alrighty then, I looked around and found it must be the stims as NO is a vasodilator, and lowers BP. I got this searching the web.
A new method for controlling blood pressure naturally has emerged. This is
called nitric oxide therapy and is the result of the research by Nobel® Laureate Dr. Louis
Ignarro. Dr. Ignarro and his team of researchers knew that nitrogen in the form of nitro-
glycerin had been used for years to help relieve angina or heart distress but they didn't
know how it worked. They discovered that the nitric oxide molecule has a profound
effect in dilating arteries and blood vessels which could reduce blood pressure and
support cardiovascular health.
The next step was to determine how to create nitric oxide in the body. They found
that the amino acid, arginine or L-arginine, causes nitric oxide to be produced in the
arteries and blood vessels. They also learned that exercise will have the same effect.
In addition, they discovered that nitric oxide has other beneficial effects which
impact the immune system and the nervous system. The popular prescription
drug Viagra was developed as a direct result of Dr. Ignarro's nitric oxide research.
The question then was what foods provide a source of arginine. They were many on
the list including nuts, red meat, and certain vegetables. Although these were a natural
source, there wasn't enough arginine to make a major difference. Dr. Ignarro realized
that he would have to create a supplement which would provide enough arginine in
significant quantity. The result is a proprietary product called Niteworks™. Those who
are able to use Niteworks™ have found that they not only are able to control their blood pressure but have realized other benefits including a more restful sleep and greater stamina.
