Whey Peptide May Improve Vascular Function

A double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in Nutrition Journal showed that Nitric Oxide Peptide-47 (NOP-47) significantly improved measures of vascular health.

To assess vascular function in response to ingestion of NOP-47 among 20 healthy men and women, researchers used ultrasound to measure brachial artery dilation in the arm and plethysmography to assess capillary blood flow in the forearm. Increased dilation during the ultrasound test is an index of greater nitric oxide availability and improved vascular function. Ingestion of NOP-47 resulted in a 28% increase in artery dilation measured by ultrasound as well as a significant increase in peak forearm blood flow. Blood chemistries also indicated that NOP-47 increased nitric oxide levels compared to placebo. For further information: www.glanbianutritionals.com
