Restoring Nitric Oxide Production and Endothelial Function

To restore nitric oxide production and endothelial function, individuals need to cease activities that disrupt the process such as using mouthwash or being exposed to fluoride.

Consuming certain dietary patterns like the Japanese or plant-based diets can also convert nitrates to nitric oxide via the microbiome, preventing BH4 oxidation and decline in nitric oxide production. These simple lifestyle changes are cost-effective and beneficial in maintaining nitric oxide levels, antioxidants in food can buffer oxidative stress, and using products is an option when needed.
