background
One of the most researched tripeptide ingredients for cardiovascular health, VasoDrive-AP® is said to improve arterial flexibility by increasing the production of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS).*
Derived from milk protein through a proprietary enzymatic process, VasoDrive-AP® occurs in very small amounts in casein as tripeptides, which are three specific amino acids joined together in a precise configuration.
what is VasoDrive-AP®
- Found to greatly enhance arterial elasticity, allowing for improved circulation and healthier blood pressure levels, especially during periods of exercise.
- Produced through patented fermentation and enzymatic process that releases two key tripeptides, Valyl-Prolyl-Proline(VPP) and Isoleucyl-Prolyl-Proline(IPP) that are not practical to receive through dairy products
- Maintaining healthy blood pressure levels also support deep sleep, weight management and normal response to insulin
- The sports nutrition market is in need of novel non-protein ingredients that will help new products break out of the crowded protein category.
Clinically Proven Benefits
Maintaining both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels already within a normal range
Promotes arterial elasticity
Increased bioavailibility of VPP and IPP compared to traditional dairy products.
Inhibits an enzyme to promote the construction of blood vessels
Mechanism of Action
VasoDrive-AP, derived from casein hydrolysate, functions by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and enhancing the production of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS); promoting vasodilation and improved blood flow. This enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles, supports endurance, reduces fatigue by aiding metabolic waste removal, and accelerates recovery. Additionally, it helps maintain healthy blood pressure, making it ideal for sports nutrition applications focused on performance and recovery.
