More Power, Less Pills: New & Improved Redwood MAX

Products


The Redwood You Love, Now Even More Powerful!

Have you experienced results on our best selling, top of the line Nitric Oxide boosting Redwood product? While we believe in not fixing what’s not broken, we have made improvements to Redwood while keeping the ingredients that you know and love. Let’s go into detail on the changes and why we believe that you will fall in love with Redwood all over again.

What’s Inside

We have made some changes, and you can find both a bulleted list of those changes, with more in depth details below:

  • Added VitaCherry® Tart Cherry, FitNox®, Resveratrol, and Niacin

  • New serving size: 2 capsules daily instead of 6

  • Removed VasoDrive-AP® (now allergen-free)

  • Adjusted Horse Chestnut, Pine Bark, and Vitamin C for better balance

VitaCherry® Sport Tart Cherry: Unlock Peak Performance & Faster Recovery

We have added Tart Cherry to Redwood MAX. Tart cherry has been shown to have so many benefits related to exercise performance and recovery.  

  • Boosts Endurance: A 2020 review of 10 studies found that tart cherry significantly improved endurance performance, likely due to its blood flow-supporting, antioxidant, and inflammation-balancing properties.¹

  • Supports Strength Training: If lifting is your focus, tart cherry helps maintain strength and reduce muscle soreness, allowing you to recover faster and train harder.²

  • Backed by Science: Research consistently shows that tart cherry enhances running, cycling, endurance, and resistance training, making it a key addition to Redwood MAX.

By adding VitaCherry® Sport Tart Cherry to Redwood MAX, we’ve taken blood flow, endurance, and muscle support to the next level—so you can train harder, recover faster, and feel your best every day.

FitNox**®:** Next-Gen Nitric Oxide Booster for 336% More NO

FitNox® contains three botanical extracts to provide a powerful effect on vasodilation by increasing NO levels within the body, without the addition of nitrates. The extracts are contained inside a protective plant-based matrix through Polar-Nonpolar-Sandwich (PNS) technology. This technology ensures the bioactive components are protected and increases the absorption. 

The Three Extracts:

Moringa Leaf Extract: Moringa leaves are rich in vitamins, carotenoids, polyphenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, alkaloids, glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, tannins and saponins. A study on postmenopausal women showed the antioxidant properties of Moringa promoting tissue and endothelial health.3 Moringa has also been shown to help support healthy cholesterol levels in this review of Moringa leaves administered to humans.4 Moringa leaves have also been shown to support healthy blood sugar levels in those with diabetes, which is an added benefit for Redwood MAX. 5,6,+ More human studies need to be performed on moringa leaf extract, but the studies conducted have been very promising. 

Pomegranate Extract: Pomegranate juice is widely known for it’s blood flow supporting properties through its polyphenol contents. These compounds enhance NO production, leading to vasodilation and improved blood circulation.7 This can help support muscle recovery and nutrient delivery to muscles.

Black Ginger Extract: The final extract in FitNox**®** is Black Ginger Extract. A study published in 2018 showed the reduction in abdominal fat on both male and female, as well as a reduction in triglyceride levels, compared to the placebo group.8 

FitNox**®** specifically has been through studies. In a study published in 2022, the administration of FitNox**®** was shown to significantly increase NO levels by 336% in the short term.9

A longer term (22 days) has been shown to reduce muscle fatigue, helped fight against oxidative damage and improve dopamine levels. Concentrations of Nitrate increased 31% before exercise and 45% after exercise. Concentrations of Nitrite increased 49% before exercise and 47% after exercise.10 FitNox® shows to provide long-lasting benefits when supplementing daily. 

FitNox significantly decreased (Lactate dehydrogenase) LDH levels compared to placebo both before and after exercise. FitNox reduced (malondialdehyde) MDA levels by 47% from day 0 to day 22.

Dopamine concentration was significantly increased by 36% from day 0 to day 22 (P<0.05)

Resveratrol: The Circulation-Enhancing Antioxidant You Need

Resveratrol has gained widespread attention for its powerful blood flow-supporting properties. This polyphenol is known for its cardiovascular benefits, and research continues to uncover its potential.

Boosts Circulation & Oxygen Delivery: A double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study found that Resveratrol increases cerebral blood flow while also reducing deoxyhemoglobin levels, indicating improved oxygen extraction and utilization.¹²

By adding Resveratrol to Redwood MAX, we’ve further enhanced its ability to support circulation, nutrient delivery, and overall vascular health to help you perform and feel your best every day.

Niacin: The Blood Flow Vitamin for Vascular & Heart Health

Niacin is a powerful B-vitamin known for its ability to enhance blood flow and support cardiovascular health. You may have heard of the “niacin flush”, a temporary warming sensation caused by a surge of blood flow to the skin when niacin is given in high amounts. This is also typically caused by the nicotinic acid form of B3, which is why we have added Niacin in the form of niacinamide, which is generally believed to have fewer side effects, and better bioavailability. 

Supports Total Vascular Health: Niacin has been shown to:

  • Enhance endothelial function for better circulation¹¹

  • Promote healthy cholesterol levels¹¹

  • Support healthy inflammation & blood viscosity for optimal heart function¹¹

Beyond circulation, Niacin also plays a crucial role in energy production, skin health, fat metabolism, and cognitive function, making it a vital addition to Redwood MAX.

Now Dairy-Free for Everyone

We heard you! The VasoDrive-AP® ingredient, derived from milk, was a concern for those with dairy intolerance or sensitivity. To ensure that everyone can enjoy the blood-boosting benefits of Redwood, we’ve completely removed this ingredient—making Redwood MAX 100% dairy-free.

Still want the benefits of VasoDrive-AP®? No problem! You can easily supplement with a high-quality casein hydrolysate—a slow-digesting protein that works great when taken in the evening.

With this upgrade, Redwood MAX is now more inclusive and accessible without compromising performance.

Horse Chestnut Extract & Maritime Pine Bark Extract

These powerhouse ingredients remain in Redwood MAX, but with carefully adjusted serving sizes for an even more balanced effect:

  • Horse Chestnut Extract – Adjusted from 250mg → 200mg

  • Maritime Pine Bark Extract – Increased from 100mg → 200mg

We fine-tuned these amounts to maximize their synergy, giving you the best of both for enhanced blood flow, circulation, and vascular health.

Horse Chestnut Extract supports healthy veins, optimal circulation, and vascular comfort.

Maritime Pine Bark Extract boosts nitric oxide production, enhancing blood flow while delivering powerful antioxidant support for cardiovascular and overall health.

Optimized Vitamin C: More Flexibility, Same Powerful Benefits

Last but not least, we’ve adjusted the Vitamin C content to 250mg based on your feedback. Many of our customers take multivitamins alongside Redwood, and we wanted to give you more flexibility with your daily supplementation.

Despite the reduction, Vitamin C remains a crucial ingredient in Redwood MAX, delivering key benefits:

  • Enhances blood flow by supporting nitric oxide production for better circulation.

  • Strengthens veins & arteries by promoting collagen synthesis, supporting vascular integrity.

This change ensures you still get the circulatory benefits of Vitamin C while making it easier to customize your supplement routine

Serving Change

We understand that taking 3 capsules twice daily, especially 12 hours apart, was inconvenient and easy to forget.

With Redwood MAX, we’ve made things simple and effective: just 2 capsules, once a day.

✔ No more complicated servings

✔ Easier to stay consistent

✔ Same powerful blood flow benefits, fewer capsules

Now, getting the circulation support you need is effortless!

Redwood MAX: The Next Level of Blood Flow Support

With powerful new ingredients, enhanced nitric oxide production, and a simplified serving size, Redwood MAX is built to elevate your circulation, endurance, and recovery like never before.

Are you ready to feel the difference? Experience the new & improved Redwood MAX today!
