Nitric Oxide – what is it and why should I take it?

1. Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most important molecules produced in the human body.
2. NO is a potent vasodilator that keeps your arteries open and blood flowing to every cell in your body.
3. Nitric oxide is made by every cell in your body; however, production declined by 10-12% per decade starting in the early 20s. By age 40-50, we make only 50%.
4. Loss of NO production is associated with the normal aging process.
5. Prescription drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors, NSAIDS, antibiotics, antiseptic mouthwash, and cholesterol-lowering statin drugs block the production of NO.
6. Most people do not know what nitric oxide is or why it is critical that they employ strategies to restore nitric oxide.
7. NO has been shown to dilate blood vessels and recruit new blood vessels, improving circulation to regions as it is produced or supplied.
8. NO has potent anti-inflammatory properties that help combat free radicals that damage cells and cause premature aging.
9. NO is responsible for cellular energy production and cell metabolism that keeps cells healthy and functional.
10. Due to diet, lifestyle, and many drug therapies, most Americans are deficient in nitric oxide.
