What if it’s not aging—but what your body is missing—that’s making movement harder? Discover the science of strength, circulation, and sustained energy.

When Getting Up Feels Like Climbing a Mountain

Have you noticed it’s getting harder to rise from a chair, climb stairs, or get out of bed? Do you feel winded after a short walk or find yourself hesitating on stairs you used to climb with ease? Maybe you chalk it up to age. Maybe you quietly grieve what feels like the “new normal.” But what if your body is actually asking for help?

Movement Is the Evidence of Life—So What’s Getting in the Way?

Most adults over 50 experience subtle, creeping declines—like weaker muscles, low energy, uncertain balance, and fear of losing independence. It doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a slow fade. But here’s the good news: it’s not just aging. Your body can be nourished and supported. When that happens, circulation improves, muscle builds faster than it’s lost, and energy is renewed.

Strength can return. Energy can rise. Confidence can be rebuilt.

The Foundation of All Movement: Circulation

Without strong circulation, everything else slows down—muscles, brain, immune system, and energy.

Poor circulation can cause:

  • Fatigue and brain fog
  • Cold hands and feet
  • Swelling and heaviness
  • Increased blood pressure
  • Slow wound healing

In 1998, three Nobel Prize-winning scientists discovered nitric oxide—the “miracle molecule” that relaxes blood vessels and supports healthy blood flow. This allows oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood to reach every cell in your body.

Nitric Oxide Plus

Nitric Oxide Plus includes:

  • Concentrated beetroot, rich in nitrates
  • L-arginine and L-citrulline to stimulate nitric oxide release
  • Magnesium to relax muscle tissue
  • Horse chestnut to support healthy veins

Need on-the-go support? Start your day with Nitric Oxide Plus and take Beetroot Gummies with you for circulation support throughout the day.

What It Feels Like to Lose Strength… And to Get It Back

The average adult loses 3–8% of muscle mass per decade starting in their 30s. After 60, that decline accelerates. It’s called sarcopenia—age-related loss of muscle and strength.

Muscle loss shows up as:

  • Weakness and reduced stamina
  • Unsteadiness and increased risk of falls
  • Trouble recovering from illness or injury
MyoHealth Amino Acid Complex

TriVita’s MyoHealth® delivers nine clinically validated essential amino acids (EAAs)—the exact ratio perfected over 40 years of research by Dr. Robert Wolfe. Backed by 25 human clinical studies, MyoHealth helps:

  • Rebuild and preserve lean muscle
  • Improve balance and mobility
  • Accelerate recovery from illness, surgery, or inactivity

When you take MyoHealth, you don’t just feel stronger—you are stronger.

The Fuel Behind Your Movement: Energy at the Cellular Level

Energy isn’t just a feeling—it’s a biochemical process. As we age, cells become less efficient at producing energy.

That’s where Super B-12 comes in. This patented formula delivers:

  • Vitamin B12 for red blood cell and nervous system support
  • Vitamins B6 and B9 (folate) for energy metabolism
  • Ginseng root to improve stamina, mental clarity, and motivation

The result?

  • Clearer thinking
  • More consistent energy
  • Better emotional balance
  • A renewed desire to move

You Were Made to Move—Don’t Let Age Say Otherwise

Movement Is Life Image

Every system in your body—from circulation to the brain—thrives on movement. It’s not a luxury or a bonus—it’s proof that life is happening.

If movement has become harder… if energy feels elusive… if strength doesn’t feel like your own anymore—remember: you’re not broken. You may just need the right support.
