Vinitrox™ (Grape and Apple Polyphenols — Nexira)

Evidence Level
Limited
0 Clinical Trials
3 Documented Benefits
2/5 Evidence Score

Vinitrox™ is a branded blend of grape and apple polyphenols from Nexira, marketed to support nitric oxide production, blood flow, and physical performance. Polyphenols from grape and apple are recognized for vascular and antioxidant effects, though independent clinical evidence specific to this branded blend is limited and mostly held by the manufacturer.

Studied Dose Around 500 mg per day, often taken before exercise.
Active Compound A proprietary blend of polyphenols (including flavanols and procyanidins) from grape and apple.

Benefits

Nitric oxide and blood flow

Grape and apple polyphenols are studied for supporting endothelial nitric oxide and healthy blood flow, the basis for the blend's circulation and pump claims.

Exercise performance support

The manufacturer positions the blend for endurance and physical performance through improved blood flow, though independent trials on the specific blend are limited.

Antioxidant polyphenols

The flavanols and procyanidins it provides act as antioxidants that help counter exercise-related oxidative stress.

Mechanism of action

1

Endothelial nitric oxide support

Polyphenols such as those in grape and apple can promote nitric oxide synthase activity in blood vessel linings, supporting vasodilation and blood flow.

2

Antioxidant activity

Procyanidins and flavanols scavenge free radicals, which may protect vascular function during physical stress.

Clinical trials

Side effects and drug interactions

Common Potential side effects

Generally well-tolerated — dietary polyphenols are well tolerated.
Mild digestive upset is possible at higher intakes.
Independent human safety data on the specific blend are limited.

Important Drug interactions

Blood thinners — polyphenols may have a mild additive effect; monitor.
Blood pressure medication — possible additive vasodilation; use caution.
Tell your doctor about supplements if you take cardiovascular medication.
