August 1, 2022 Ingredient Spotlight: NR-8 Blend Share on: This special spotlight dives into a Kyäni exclusive ingredient blend that features not one but eight exceptional ingredients with an impressive array of health benefits—introducing the Kyäni Electro™ NR-8™ polyphenol blend. WHAT IS NR-8? Let’s start with the basics. NR-8, short for “nitro regenerate-8”, is a proprietary blend of eight ingredients developed exclusively for Kyäni. It is formulated to protect and activate an essential enzyme called eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase), which is responsible for nitric oxide regeneration. WHY NITRIC OXIDE REGENERATION IS IMPORTANT Chances are, if you’ve been around Kyäni for a while, you’ve heard a bit about nitric oxide. And if not, you’ll soon discover that nitric oxide is central to many of our products, our NItro Nutrition™ program (as you might imagine), and so much of what we do. So, what exactly is it and how does it impact your health? Nitric oxide sends signals to the blood vessels to relax, so blood can effectively flow to the muscles and tissue. This aids in athletic performance by delivering more oxygen, fuel, and other key nutrients to muscles during activity. Nitric oxide gives the blood vessels the ability to adapt to stress and adverse conditions. When nitric oxide production is compromised, the blood vessels cannot react and may stiffen or harden. Because eNOS is easily degraded, protecting it is important. NR-8 BLEND INGREDIENTS These eight ingredients have been specially selected by our team of experts and scientists to make up this extraordinary blend. Apple Extract (Malus pumila) – Loaded with antioxidants like vitamin C, apple extract helps promote healthy cholesterol levels, maintain a healthy weight, support heart health, and even helps encourage healthy aging. Grape Seed Extract (Vitis vinifera) – Grape seed extract is packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin E, and linoleic acid, which support cellular and immune system health. Even more, this versatile nutrient has also been shown to support healthy circulation and blood pressure.

Its antioxidant properties also support the immune system. Elderberry Powder (Sambucus L.) – Commonly used to support the immune system, which dates back centuries, elderberries are full of nutrients and antioxidants that help fight free radicals. Elderberries also help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and heart health, promote energy, and support stress management.

It has even been shown to promote eye and vision health.
