What is Nitric Oxide?
Nitric Oxide was propelled into the International Scientific spot light in October 1998, when Robert F Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad, were awarded The 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology & Medicine for their discoveries concerning Nitric Oxide as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system. Their studies and subsequent Nobel Prize award sparked a fever of scientific interest within the medical industry.
Nitric Oxide is a “free form” gas that is made by the body and utilised within the body to converse with other cells. It is produced by enzymes within the body that breakdown the amino acid L’Arginine to form Nitric Oxide .
Nitric Oxide is mixture of Nitrogen & Oxygen, 1 atom of each which combine together to form the gaseous molecule. This is a very well documented molecule, which is a free radical that allows cells to communicate and controls limitless functions within the human body.
Nitric Oxide has amazing actions within the human body, notably its ability to act as a highly efficient vasodilator (blood vessel relaxant). It’s extremely effective at increasing blood flow, throughout the vascular system, and has profound effect on the male genital blood flow, vastly improving flow into the tissues and vessels.
Nitric Oxide Properties:
• Highly Efficient Vasodilator (relaxes blood vessels)
• Regulates the release and binding of oxygen to haemoglobin.
• Increases and controls blood flow to tissues.
