Most adults over age 40 don’t produce enough N-O. Poor circulation leads to so many health problems because blood is what transports oxygen, nutrients and water, and carries away waste products. Early warning signs of low N-O levels can be poor circulation, high blood pressure, brain fog, achy joints, cold hands and feet, numbness and more. Chronic low levels of N-O can manifest as coronary artery disease, pulmonary disease, nervous system issues, Raynaud’s disease, kidney damage and stroke.

   

N-O levels can be boosted with fruits, vegetables and nutrients such as creatine nitrate. Foods high in argentine—such as protein found in nuts, beans, legumes and various meats like chicken and salmon—can also be helpful.
