Q&A with Dr. Ignarro
By Louis Ignarro, Ph.D.,
Nobel** Laureate in Medicine,
Herbalife Scientific Advisory
Board member
Dr. Lou Ignarro was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discoveries about Nitric Oxide,
which enhances blood flow to support cardiovascular health.*
Q: Can you explain how L-citrulline and L-taurine fit into the Niteworks formula?
A:
L-citrulline is of critical importance because
of its synergistic role with L-arginine in the
production of Nitric Oxide, or NO. L-citrulline
is actually a by-product in the production of
NO and is recycled by the body to make more
L-arginine to form NO. This “recycling” action
is further enhanced because L-citrulline and
L-arginine reach cells by different paths,
resulting in broader support for NO production.
L-taurine has been shown to strengthen the
heart muscle, and as an antioxidant, it protects
NO during its brief lifetime.*
Q: Can you tell us a little about your continuing research on Nitric Oxide?
A:
I continue to focus my research on the benefits
of Nitric Oxide in several different areas of
health. While cardiovascular health and
function continues to be a primary area of focus,
I am also seeking to understand the critical
relationship between NO and antioxidant
activity in the body. In addition, I am working
to further define the synergistic relationship of
L-arginine, L-citrulline, and antioxidants in the
human cardiovascular system.
Q: What has the response been like to your new book NO More Heart Disease?
A:
The response to NO More Heart Disease has
been tremendous. The book is bringing the
Nitric Oxide story to millions of people. I’m the
lucky one, because every day I get to hear the
grateful stories of people whose lives have been
transformed.

Dr. Lou Ignarro’s new book discusses the role of “NO” and cardiovascular health
NO More Heart Disease is a
compelling account in Dr.
Ignarro’s own words about his
breakthrough research that led to
his collaboration with Herbalife resulting in our
Niteworks
dietary supplement. Each serving of
Niteworks
powder contains the exact combination of Larginine
and L-citrulline that generates heart-healthy Nitric
Oxide, or “NO”–essential for one’s cardiovascular system.*
