The Science
Where are your nitric oxide levels?
Nitric oxide is so important that the human body has multiple ways to produce it throughout the body.
The dietary pathway is what we depend on most as we age.
Here’s how it works:
- We consume nitrates from healthy foods like leafy greens, beets and celery.
- In the mouth, the oral microbiome transforms these nitrates into nitrites.
- Further nitric oxide is produced in the GI tract.
Because nitrites and nitrates remain in the mouth, their presence can be tested through a simple chemical reaction. This is what makes salivary tests possible and accurate.
Why test nitric oxide levels?
Test, don't guess
NO is a tiny signaling molecule that’s produced by almost every human cell. Its single most important role is to relax the blood vessels throughout the vascular system. This enables healthy blood flow and normal blood pressure.
In addition, nitric oxide:
- Maintains blood flow to the skin for optimum health and appearance
- Enables normal inflammatory response in the vascular system
- Inhibits the migration of smooth muscle cells
- Plays a vital role in kidney (and other organs) function
- As a neurotransmitter, supports brain health and normal cognitive function
- Provides essential signaling functions for the endocrine system
In other words, without adequate nitric oxide, good health is simply impossible.
Nitric Oxide EducationHow do you test?
Test Your Nitric Oxide
It’s easy and quick. Simply put the end marked “saliva here” on your tongue for 5 seconds, then fold the strip in half to press the two ends together so the pads meet.
Hold the two ends together for 10 seconds, and then interpret the colors on the non-saliva side to find out your results. Watch the video to see a demonstration!
