    A: This is not organic. Please keep in mind that Dr. Mercola does use organic when possible.

  9. Q: Why should I take it?

    A: Your vascular endothelium creates the nitric oxide from L-arginine necessary to promote blood vessel relaxation and flexibility. Without enough L-arginine, your endothelial cells may not create enough nitric oxide to promote optimal blood flow and cardiovascular health. As your efficiency to produce nitric oxide slows down with normal aging, this will help your body support optimal blood flow.

  10. Q: How exactly does it work?

    A: It is a sustained release nutrient that supports health cardiovascular function. Rich in L-Arginine, Cardiovascular Support promotes vascular relaxtion and for optimal blood flow and overall cardiovascular support.

  11. Q: Where is the L-Arginine sourced from?

    A: It is synthesized (processed synthetically)

  12. Q: Can I open the capsules and just take the powder?

    A: This was designed to be swallowed as a hole, and absorb in the churning of your stomach, therefore we do not recommend opening the capsule when taking them.

    A: We would recommend to consult your health care provider before using this during pregnancy.

  15. Q: Are there any medical conditions or medication that should not be used in conjunction with this supplement?
