Xan Pro – Improve your blood flow, flush your toxins and nourish your cells

Vitamins are organic substances which, in small amounts, are necessary not just to keep us fit and healthy but actually to sustain life itself. If we become deficient in them, we develop diseases that can only be cured by the vitamins themselves. Despite their vital role in our physical and mental well being, we have to obtain the vitamins that we need from external sources. This is due to the fact that either the vitamins that we require are simply not made in our bodies at all or are not made in sufficient quantities to support growth, vitality and our overall health.

There are, of course, a whole range of different vitamins - all of which are essential if we’re to keep healthy and all of which have their own different roles to perform within the body. It makes sense therefore if you’re looking to supplement your diet with specific vitamins that you go for the most potent form available and Xan Pro delivers you just that.

Xan Pro contains Xanthinol Nicotinate - the most potent form of vitamin B3 (also known as niacin). And because niacin is a water-soluble vitamin (i.e. dissolves in water), it is not stored in your body. Any leftover amounts that your body does not need at a particular time are excreted from your body via your urine. This means that your body needs a constant supply of niacin.

Xanthinol Nicotinate offers a number of different benefits but the reason that many people take it as a supplement is because of its ability to act as a vasodilator. Vasodilation refers to the widening of blood vessels resulting from the relaxation of their muscular walls. In reality, what actually widens is the diameter of the interior of the blood vessels. Vasodilation causes blood flow to be improved to the arteries and the extremities. As a result, niacin is sometimes used to treat coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis).

Niacin also affects the capillaries - the smallest blood vessels in the body. Blood flows from the heart to the arteries which branch and narrow into arterioles and then branch further still into the capillaries. This huge network of capillaries takes care of the vast majority of all the cells in your body, nourishing them and taking away toxins. Unfortunately capillaries are often clogged and blood cells pass through them in single file - thereby limiting the amount of toxins the blood flow can clear out of your system. By increasing the size of capillaries, and so allowing more blood cells through, more toxins can be flushed out. Clearly this is beneficial and this is exactly what niacin can do.

The effects of vasodilation also cause improved blood flow to the brain. Add to this Xanthinol Nicotinate’s ability to increase brain glucose metabolism and improve brain adenosine triphosphate levels (commonly referred to as ATP – a molecule that provides energy to cells) and you can see why Xanthinol Nicotinate is often used to restore mental energy. A brain that lacks energy compromises a person’s ability to concentrate, pay attention and remain vigilant. Xanthinol Nicotinate is also used to treat short term memory disorders and has been clinically proven to enhance the reaction speed of the elderly. By keeping the brain sharp and by improving short term memory, Xan Pro is a useful addition to anyone’s supplement regime particularly in terms of bestowing these important anti-aging benefits.

Like other B-complex vitamins, niacin is important for converting calories from protein, fat and carbohydrates into energy i.e. converting food that we ingest to energy that our bodies need. It also helps the digestive system function and promotes a normal appetite.

As mentioned above, niacin’s vasodilatory effects make it a candidate for the treatment of coronary artery disease, but niacin can also assist the cardiovascular system to stay healthy by helping to lower cholesterol and triglycerides levels in the blood. Niacin has been used to lower the risk of experiencing subsequent heart attacks in people who have already had a heart attack.

Niacin, in the form of Xanthinol Nicotinate, is also found in many “fat burners” because it is good for the increased metabolism of glucose.

Finally, niacin is also known to help promote healthy skin and nerves.

With all these benefits available, taking Xan Pro, containing niacin in its most potent form Xanthinol Nicotinate, is a useful addition to a supplement regime. However, some people are wary about taking such supplements because niacin can cause a flushing of the skin and an increased sense of warmth, often called the “niacin flush”. This is caused by the widening of the capillaries close to the skin’s surface – with more blood flowing through them you can see why your skin might appear flushed. But the sensation does not usually last long and may be a small price to pay for such an amazing vitamin.
