Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule and a gas. It tells the arteries to relax, which improves circulation and blood flow. The discovery of this "miracle molecule" won the Nobel Price in 1998 and was named "Molecule of the Year" in 1992.
Nitric oxide carries messages at the cellular level, able to efficiently penetrate cellular membranes because of its gaseous structure. N-O is abundant in the body, but it is unstable and short-lived, and thus must be renewed continuously. A large and growing body of research points to nitric oxide's broad impact on health, even
traumatic brain injuries.
It has been found that nitric oxide improves support for circulation and blood flow and has been linked to a variety of health benefits, including helping:
- Support healthy blood pressure levels
- Support cardiovascular and heart health
- Promote increased circulation throughout the body
- Support normal, healthy circulation
- Support healthy arterial function
- Promote artery dilation for healthy blood flow
