5 Ways Nitric Oxide Supplements Boost Your Health and Performance
Not many people know about nitric oxide, but it’s been called a “miracle molecule,” and plays a critical role in our overall health and performance. Nitric oxide (NO) is what’s known as a biological regulator, and primarily keeps our blood vessels flexible to increase blood flow. Cells in our arteries and veins produce it to help our 50 trillion cells communicate with each other, regulating the nervous, immune and cardiovascular systems.
