Hey Everyone!

Last month, we took a deep dive into grapefruit — specifically its powerful naringin content and how it supports nitric oxide through protection, upregulation, and signal amplification.

But when it comes to directly activating nitric oxide production at the source, there’s one citrus that clearly takes the crown.

Oranges are the richest natural source of hesperidin on the planet.
Grapefruit ranks second.

And hesperidin is the flavonoid that most strongly activates eNOS — the very enzyme responsible for producing nitric oxide inside your blood vessels.

While grapefruit provides a balanced combination of naringin and hesperidin, orange delivers a substantially higher concentration of hesperidin — approximately 2–3 times more.

Which means if your primary goal is maximizing nitric oxide activation at the enzymatic level, orange becomes the more concentrated option.

And now…

Our Orange Juice Powder is finally back in stock.

Our Orange Juice Powder, Beet Greens Juice Powder, and our Grapefruit Juice Powder are just $14.95 each when you grab a 3-pack — one of the lowest prices we’ve offered. 

When you take these two powders together, you’re supporting nitric oxide production from two complementary pathways — the dietary nitrate route and your body’s own internal enzyme system.

Here’s how that works…


As seen in the studies [1][2][3], hesperidin from oranges activates the enzyme eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase), the very enzyme responsible for producing nitric oxide inside our blood vessels. This is the natural internal pathway our body uses to generate nitric oxide on its own. 


But there’s another way nitric oxide can rapidly be produced — and this is where dietary nitrates come in to play.


Hesperidin doesn’t directly contain nitrates like Beet Greens Juice Powder does. Beet greens supply natural nitrates that the body can convert into nitric oxide — essentially a major dietary shortcut that works independently of the eNOS enzyme system.

So while hesperidin activates your body’s own internal nitric oxide machinery, nitrates from beet greens provide the raw materials that can be converted into nitric oxide directly from the foods you eat.

If you want the most potent dose of dietary nitrates from the top plant source on the planet, take our Beet Greens Juice Powder.


As I recently shared, beets and spinach contain the highest levels of nitrates compared to virtually any other food in existence.


However, the beet greens themselves contain an incredible 2–3 times more nitrates than the beet root or even spinach.


And that’s just the beginning.

On top of their superior nitrate content, beet greens are dramatically more nutrient-dense than the root itself — containing approximately 192× more vitamin A, 6× more vitamin C, over 2000× more vitamin K, along with 3× more iron, 7× more calcium, 2× more potassium , and 3× more magnesium.

And keep in mind — our Beet Greens Juice Powder is a 34:1 concentration, meaning the excess water and fiber are removed, leaving only the most potent bioactive compounds. This makes it the most concentrated whole-food source of dietary nitrates available.


Once consumed, dietary nitrates are converted into nitrites by beneficial bacteria in the mouth (via saliva), and then further reduced into nitric oxide inside the body. Taking our Beet Greens Juice Powder is the ultimate natural dietary shortcut for generating nitric oxide directly from food.


This is where the synergy becomes powerful.

Beet greens provide one of the most concentrated natural sources of dietary nitrates — the raw materials that can be converted directly into nitric oxide.

Now layer in orange-derived hesperidin.

Hesperidin doesn’t contain nitrates itself, but it supports nitric oxide production through three distinct mechanisms.

First, as seen in the studies [1][2][3], it activates the enzyme eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase), responsible for producing nitric oxide inside blood vessels. This is the natural internal pathway our body uses to generate nitric oxide on its own.

Second, as shown in studies [4][5], its potent antioxidant activity helps preserve nitric oxide by protecting it from oxidative breakdown.

And third, research [6] demonstrates that hesperidin upregulates genes involved in nitric oxide signaling and vascular relaxation.

In other words, hesperidin doesn’t just help your body produce more nitric oxide — it helps protect it and enhance how effectively it signals within the vascular system.

When you combine nitrate-rich beet greens with hesperidin-rich orange, you’re not simply adding two nitric oxide strategies together — you’re supporting production, protection, and signaling at the same time.

Rather than a simple 1 + 1 effect, research suggests this layered approach can significantly amplify overall nitric oxide bioavailability.

One study found that co-administration of citrus flavonoids with nitrate-rich foods significantly increased flow-mediated dilation more than nitrates alone [1, 2], indicating enhanced vascular expansion when both compounds are present together. Meanwhile, beet-derived nitrates on their own often reduce systolic blood pressure by approximately 5–10 mmHg — with research suggesting stronger vascular effects when paired with complementary nitric oxide–supporting compounds [3].

While no direct head-to-head trials establish an exact multiplier, the available evidence supports the concept that combining nitrate supply with eNOS activation and nitric oxide preservation can enhance overall nitric oxide bioavailability beyond what either pathway achieves independently.

So what does that mean in practical terms?

Beet Greens supply the raw materials for nitric oxide production, while Orange helps your body activate, protect, and utilize that nitric oxide more efficiently.

The result is not just increased production — but greater availability and sustained vascular responsiveness.

But hesperidin’s benefits don’t stop at boosting nitric oxide.

What’s truly mind-boggling is that on top of enhancing nitric oxide, hesperidin also strengthens the very walls of your blood vessels [1, 2]. It supports vascular structure by promoting collagen and elastin, improving the elasticity and resilience of your circulatory system [3]. This keeps arteries and veins strong and flexible.

If that wasn’t enough, hesperidin dramatically reduces capillary permeability, making tiny vessels less “leaky” and helping to calm inflammation and swelling [4, 5] — benefits that explain why it’s widely used in Europe to manage conditions like chronic venous insufficiency, leg swelling, and hemorrhoids [6].

By protecting and reinforcing the vessel walls, hesperidin truly supports cardiovascular health from the inside out.

Why focus on boosting nitric oxide?

Nitric oxide relaxes and dilates blood vessels — including arteries, veins, and capillaries — which enhances circulation throughout the body. This helps the heart pump more efficiently and delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the brain (supporting cognitive function), muscles, and skin.

This dilation of blood vessels naturally lowers blood pressure, supports strong and healthy veins, and enhances overall vascular health. Better blood flow also benefits athletic performance and endurance by fueling muscles with oxygen and nutrients. Nitric oxide’s ability to relax blood vessels is crucial for sexual health, often supporting improved erectile function through increased blood flow and NO availability in the genital area.

In short, optimizing nitric oxide production promotes stronger vessels, better circulation, and enhanced function from head to toe.

How to take Orange Juice and Beet Greens Juice Powder for maximum effect:

Take both powders together in the morning, ideally on an empty stomach or with citrus juice and water. Swishing them briefly in your mouth helps activate beneficial oral bacteria, which is key for converting dietary nitrates into nitrites. Avoid using mouthwash around this time, as it can interfere with this conversion.

Why take them together? Combining beet nitrates and orange hesperidin supports nitric oxide from two complementary pathways — immediate production from dietary nitrates plus sustained activation and protection via eNOS and bioflavonoids. This approach improves overall nitric oxide availability and vascular responsiveness.

Does the citric acid in orange interfere with nitric oxide production?

No — it actually helps stabilize nitric oxide. The citric acid and bioflavonoids in orange protect nitric oxide from breaking down too quickly, enhancing its stability and supporting more sustained effects when combined with beet-derived nitrates.

Bottom line: Taking these two powders together provides one of the most effective natural strategies for supporting circulation, energy, and overall vascular health.

So here’s the takeaway…

Beet Greens supply the most concentrated source of dietary nitrates available, while Orange delivers the richest natural source of hesperidin on the planet. One supplies the raw material for nitric oxide, while the other amplifies, protects, and extends its effects.

When you combine them, you’re not just increasing nitric oxide — you’re optimizing the entire nitric oxide system from multiple angles.

With Orange Juice Powder back in stock — delivering 2–3 times more hesperidin than grapefruit — this stack is stronger than ever.

If supporting circulation, vascular strength, brain performance, endurance, and long-term cardiovascular health matters to you, this combination delivers.

Orange is back.
