S7® – patenterat växtbaserat komplex för ökad kväveoxidproduktion och pump

S7® – what is it and why is it used in dietary supplements?

S7® is a patented complex of seven plant extracts used in dietary supplements to increase the body's own nitric oxide (NO) production. It is developed by FutureCeuticals and is clinically studied with a documented ability to increase endogenous nitric oxide by up to 230%.

But what is nitric oxide and why is it so important for training performance? And why does Skytrition choose to use S7® in MessitUP and BlowitUP?

Here we walk you through everything you need to know.

What is S7®?

S7® is a patented and standardized complex of seven plant extracts, developed by FutureCeuticals in the USA. The seven plant extracts are:

  • Green coffee bean (Coffea arabica)
  • Green tea (Camellia sinensis)
  • Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
  • Tart cherry (Prunus cerasus)
  • Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium)
  • Broccoli (Brassica oleracea)
  • Kale (Brassica oleracea var. sabellica)

Together, these seven extracts form a synergistic complex with a documented ability to stimulate the body's own nitric oxide production.

What is nitric oxide and why is it important?

Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule produced naturally in the body. It plays a central role in widening blood vessels (vasodilation), which increases blood flow to the muscles.

Increased blood flow to the muscles means:

  • Increased oxygen supply – muscles receive more oxygen during exercise
  • Better nutrient transport – amino acids and glucose are delivered more efficiently
  • Pump effect – muscles swell and feel harder during training
  • Faster recovery – better removal of metabolites such as lactic acid

How does S7® work?

S7® – mechanisms of action: plant extracts, eNOS activation, and pump

The unique thing about S7® is that it does not provide nitric oxide from the outside – instead, it stimulates the body's own nitric oxide production via the enzyme eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase).

Clinical studies show that S7® increases endogenous nitric oxide by up to 230% compared to placebo – at a dose of as little as 50 mg.

This makes S7® one of the most effective and dose-efficient nitric oxide ingredients on the market.

S7® compared to other NO ingredients

  • vs. L-citrulline – S7® acts via a different mechanism (eNOS activation) and can be combined with citrulline for a synergistic effect
  • vs. L-arginine – S7® has better bioavailability and acts at a lower dose
  • vs. Beetroot – S7® is more concentrated and standardized for consistent effect

When is the best time to take S7®?

  • Before training – 30–45 minutes before for maximum pump and blood flow effect during the session
  • In pre-workout formulas – preferably combined with L-citrulline and other NO ingredients for a synergistic effect

In which Skytrition products is S7® found?

S7® is used in:

  • MessitUP – Skytrition's pre-workout with S7® for maximum pump and blood flow
  • BlowitUP – includes S7® for increased nitric oxide production and pump

What to consider when choosing products with S7®?

1. The dose of S7®

The clinically studied dose is 50 mg. Check that the product contains at least this amount for a documented effect.

2. Combination with citrulline

S7® is often combined with L-citrulline or citrulline malate for a synergistic NO effect. Look at the entire NO matrix in the product.

3. Timing of intake

Take the S7® product 30–45 minutes before training for optimal effect during the session.
