INSIGHT

Nitric Oxide Is Foundational To Health

  • Nitric oxide is a signaling gas that dilates blood vessels, mobilizes stem cells, activates telomerase, and improves mitochondrial energy production.
  • Dr. Nathan Bryan calls it foundational for health optimization, longevity, and disease prevention.
INSIGHT

ED Drugs Need Nitric Oxide To Work

  • Viagra and similar drugs work downstream of nitric oxide by preventing cGMP degradation, so they need existing nitric oxide production to work.
  • About 50% of men don't respond because they lack sufficient nitric oxide to generate cGMP in the first place.
ADVICE

Protect Oral And Skin Microbiomes

  • Avoid routine antiseptic mouthwashes and fluoride toothpaste because oral nitrate-reducing bacteria produce nitrite and support nitric oxide formation.
  • Support the oral and skin microbiome to maintain the enterosalivary nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide pathway.
