Nitric Oxide (NO) is a vital signaling molecule, which helps blood vessels relax and open, supporting smooth blood flow, oxygen delivery, muscle building, daily energy, and overall vitality.

As we age or get ill, Nitric Oxide production in our body naturally declines, which can influence blood circulation, physical stamina, mental sharpness, natural immune function, metabolic balance, muscular strength, gastric intestinal function, sexual health and general wellness.

Nitric Oxide (NO) Pathways The body produces NO through two distinct pathways:

1. Dietary Route: Nitrates in food are converted into Nitrites by bacteria in mouth saliva. The Nitrite is then converted into Nitric Oxide with support of healthy gastric juices.
   
   Important:  Mouthwash kills beneficial bacteria in mouth and lowers NO production.
   
   In our special fermentation process Nitrate in beetroots is converted into Nitrite, which directly produces Nitric Oxide without needing mouth bacteria. Protein Pump Inhibitor medicines, used against stomach acid refluxes, suppress gastric juices which reduce NO production.

    

2. Endothelial Route: Arginine and citrulline from foods like watermelon, nuts, and seeds help eNOS (Endothelial NO Synthase) make Nitric Oxide (NO), supporting healthy blood vessels and strong blood circulation, in a vascular network in our body spanning about 96,000 kilometres.
   Hibiscus supports NO availability by stimulating eNOS and protecting Nitric Oxide from oxidative stress.
