The Science
How MyFitStrips Work
The human body has multiple ways of producing nitric oxide, and the dietary pathway is what we depend on most as we age. Here’s how it works:
- We consume inorganic 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.
- The resulting precursors for nitric oxide are transported throughout the body.
Because traces of nitrites remain in the mouth, their presence can be tested through a simple chemical reaction. This is what makes MyFitStrip salivary tests possible and accurate.
The Reason
The Vital Importance of Nitric Oxide
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, NO:
- 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 Education Why Test NO - Test, Don't Guess!
NO is a highly dynamic, short-lived, gaseous molecule.
With a half-life of less than a second, nitric oxide vanishes almost as fast as it appears, and production needs to be constantly maintained.
MyFitStrip reveals the presence of nitrites in the saliva, a proven indicator of current NO levels. The strip is placed in the mouth, and a simple color change provides a reliable indication. See The Science below to explore the details.
The Benefits
Test Your Nitric Oxide
Using MyFitStrip can make a direct impact on your health. The results you get from a quick test will remind you to make simple adjustments to your lifestyle.
When NO levels are low, here are immediate changes you can make:
- Take a nitric oxide-focused supplement like Vascanox HP*
- Eat more leafy green vegetables and beets
- If your dentist approves, reduce or stop using mouthwash, which kills the oral microbiome that transforms nitrates into nitrites
- Minimize antibiotic use, again to protect your microbiome
With MyFitStrip, you can always re-test to confirm that your lifestyle changes are taking effect.
Here’s one special point to look out for. Your body needs continuous production of NO day and night. Testing at different times can show you how well you’re sustaining your levels of NO around the clock. Vascanox HP stands out as a supplement because it supports healthy levels of NO for up to 24 hours with a single dose.†
