Nitric Oxide, also referred to as "NO" is a truly miraculous molecule. It is a gas, naturally produced throughout the body, but in a remarkable discovery in recent years scientists have proven that it acts as a messenger enabling several processes critical for your long term health.

Low levels of nitric oxide production are important in protecting organs such as the liver from ischemic damage. Low levels of NO have been associated with various carcinomas and inflammatory conditions including Type-1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, colitis and other circulatory maladies.

Nitric Oxide's most important role may be its communication in the vascular system. When produced, it sends a message to the blood vessels to relax and expand, or dilate. Thus high levels of NO production are associated with increased blood flow and better circulation, making it a major factor in healthier living. Improved circulation means that more oxygen and vital nutrients can be distributed to muscles, organs and tissues.

The amazing power of this messenger gas has made our understanding of this molecule worthy of a Nobel Prize, and has quickly become one of the world's most exciting, most studied molecules. In the past few years there have been thousands of white papers published furthering our understanding of this incredible molecule.

The ability to restore NO production through all the known pathways, not just L-arginine, will be a phenomenal bit of progress toward a longer healthy life for millions.

As you age, your body's ability to produce beneficial levels of Nitric Oxide decreases. This is because as you get older, so does your endothelium ("The endothelium is the thin layer of cells that lines the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood and lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall"-Wikipedia).

When your body produces less Nitric Oxide, your arteries stiffen and narrow. This can lead to a number of serious health concerns including elevated blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, chronic inflammation and decreased sexual function.

NO can flat out slow the aging process. It is the key to helping you do just that -- live, in essence, 10 years younger.

Research has shown that your ability to produce Nitric Oxide decreases with age. But the benefits of restoring healthy levels of NO have massive health benefits, including, but not limited to the following;

Improved circulation by sending a signal for arteries to relax and expandHealthy blood pressure levelsReversal of premature cardiovascular agingNormal sexual functionImproved brain cell communication and memory

Studies have shown that by age 40, you produce half of the Nitric Oxide you did at age 20. So how do you know if your body is producing optimal levels of NO? Well, chances are, it's not. Until now, there has never been a simple method to test how much Nitric Oxide is in your system.

Very recently one company has developed the first NO instant indicator -- a simple saliva test that provides you with a solid indication of how much Nitric Oxide is circulating in your system. This at-home test means that you can monitor your body's NO production before and after attempts to increase your Nitric Oxide levels. Independent of an at-home test which can produce immediate results, you need to see a licensed physician and attend to this issue to clearly affect your long term cardiovascular health.
