The Unknown Truth About Nitric Oxide Supplements

Think alginine is the best bet for boosting your nitric oxide? Think again. Discover why this popular solution may not be the safest and most effective choice to increase your nitric oxide. Now, nitrous oxide increases blood flow, and we know that if you increase blood flow, it's better for your erection. But everybody keep asking me, is it L arginine, L citrulline, how do I increase nitrous oxide? Well, the answer is a little bit more complex than we think it is. But again, it goes back to the basic. What is your body doing now? How do you increase nitrous oxide? Well, I want to show you how nitric oxide is produced in your body. First, there are two ways how you can get nitric oxide. Now, this is nitric. Now, I have given videos on nitric oxide before and I've been criticized that I've been saying it wrong, but that may not be the case. I want to clarify. So when you eat like let's say kale, arugula or lettuce, green leafy vegetable that are high in nitric oxide content, but when you eat it, it is in the form nitrate, as you can see on my slide here, nitrate or no. 3, it's spelled n I T R A T E. And then the bacteria in your mouth process it and it converted to nitrite. N I T R I t e. That is no. 2. And that goes to your stomach lining and then your stomach, the acidity in your stomach turns it to nitric oxide. N I T R I C oxide, which is N O. So sometimes it could be confusing. What term is used when you say nitric oxide? That's when it's already been oxidized in the stomach to become nitric oxide, which is is the active form. And the form, that is the gas that floats into your blood. Now, your body can also make nitric oxide from L arginine that is mixed with oxygen. And you can see that on the slide there. Okay. Now, L arginine is converted to nitric oxide from nitric oxide synthase. It is an enzyme that converts it to nitric oxide. This happened at the blood vessels and this is in the endothelial cells. And then it undergo oxidation and then it become nitrate. N I T R A T E or nitrite, which is spelled N I T R I T E. So nitric oxide is the active form. That's the form that we want. So that's how two ways you can get nitric oxide through the diet or through L arginine, but However, I want to stress that nitric oxide synthase, which is the enzyme that make nitric oxide from L arginine sometime does not work well. It doesn't work well because of oxidative stress. Now, what is oxidative stress? Oxidative stress is our condition that cause inflammation or cause the blood vessel, the endothelial cells of the blood vessel to not function properly and therefore cannot produce nitric oxide because the enzyme is not operating at 100%. Now, the next slide that you see on here is a little bit more involved. Now, I want you to pay attention to the pathway number one. Nitric oxide enzyme needs all of these components that you see on there, Fad, Nadh, and the most important part is a component called BH4 or tetrahydrobiotyrine. Now, the enzyme nitric oxide synthase need BH4 in order to function properly, properly to convert L arginine to nitric oxide. So nitric oxide synthase convert L arginine to L citrulline and nitrous oxide. So L citrulline come after L arginine. But if the enzyme nitric oxide synthase is not working properly, then none of that's going to happen. And in fact the L arginine will probably become a more inflammatory chemicals. So that's why I caution, when you take nitric oxide, when you want to increase your nitric oxide and take L arginine or L citrulline, you got to make sure the nitric oxide synthase enzyme is working properly. And it may not be working properly because of oxidative stress. What causes oxidative stress? High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, not enough sleep, stress. All of those conditions causes oxidative stress, which causes damage to the blood vessel, which then the endothelial cells are damaged and therefore nitric oxide synthase does not work well. And therefore that's why you have lower nitric oxide. Now, that's from the pathway one. The pathway two is from your diet that I talk about. You can eat vegetables, you can eat beets and spinach, kale, arugula, all of that can increase your nitric oxide, even if your nitric oxide synthase doesn't work properly. But just make sure that you are not using mouthwash, you're not using fluoride toothpaste, which can then affect the bacteria in your mouth. You need the bacteria in your mouth and you need the acid in your stomach to convert the food to nitric oxide. So you want to stop taking antacid, which then affect the acidity of the stomach. So you have two pathways that you can make nitric oxide. If your enzyme, nitric oxide synthase is not working properly, you can actually get the nitrous oxide from the food. Now, what type of food is good for this Mediterranean diet? My favorite diet. And you can get the Mediterranean diet in the show notes, or you can even check it out here in this link. And I want you to start thinking about eating the food that has high content of nitric oxide, which is also low in oxalate. Now, oxalate, when it is combined with calcium, can cause kidney stones. And sometime high, high nitric oxide food can have high oxalate. Like for instance, this nitric oxide that I have here that we make come from arugula. Now, when it comes from arugula, arugula has a very, very low oxalate. So therefore it is good in nitrous oxide and it's low in oxalate. That means it won't cause you to have kidney stones. So check it out here in my Modern man and the banner here, and also to my left here for my Modern man crib, where you can get this nitrous oxide of arugula. It's a one of a kind. You can't get this anywhere. It's in a capsule. You just take it as a capsule, which works the best. And when you take this, you will have high nitrous oxide. And you can measure the nitrous oxide with the nitric oxide strip, which we have that also in the Modern man crib, if you check down below in the link in the show note. So the nitrous oxide strip can actually measure your nitric oxide from your saliva. So how do you increase nitric oxide? Well, you can increase nitrous oxide by eating turnip greens. It has high nitrous oxide and low oxalate. Kale, my favorite, I love kale. Arugula, lettuce, mustard greens. Those are the ones that are high nitrous oxide, low oxalate. And our nitrous oxide that we have right here, this is made from arugula. And on top of that, if you exercise, like I mentioned earlier, that if you exercise, it will help with lower the blood pressure, it'll help the flexibility of the blood vessels. It will also help lower your blood sugar as well. And if you eat a Mediterranean diet, will you also lower your blood sugar? And then the next thing I recommend is taking the nitrous oxide supplement here and then also taking vitamin C and folic acid, which we have as part of our multivitamin in our store. So I want to make it simple for you. Oftentimes eating this food in its raw form, like kale, arugula, lettuce, mustard greens, and turnip greens, in its raw form, the best way is to probably steam it. When you steam it, you can actually preserve all the nutrients and you can actually enjoy all the benefits of the nitric oxide rather than sauteing it as well. And oftentimes when you steam it, you can add in some spices, you can add a little bit of salt, a little bit of pepper, a little bit of spice on there. And oftentimes I just like to eat it after steaming it raw. But you can put a little bit of oyster sauce as well. But think about adding this to your, your diet on a daily basis. Lettuce is very good. And taking the supplement, nitrous oxide supplement here, the one that we have, have low oxalate, so that way you're not prone to getting kidney stone. Now, beets have high nitric oxide, but it has a little bit higher oxalate content. You can take it too. We have beet as a powder that you can put it in a shaker and drink it. I'd say you would mix the beet powder with the, the nitric oxide capsule as a good combination. And you can even take the nitrous oxide right before you do the penis pumping. And I recommend that you take nitrous oxide capsule twice a day, or you can even do once a day of the beet powder in the morning after you break your fast, and then take the nitrous oxide in the afternoon between lunchtime and dinner. And just know that taking it in the food form, it's a way to get around the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. And that if you're taking L arginine, L citrulline, you just gotta make sure that you do not have oxidative stress. If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, if you're taking L arginine, L citrine, that may not help you at all. In fact, may even cause you to have more radicals because the enzyme is not working. So the L arginine will be converted to inflammatory substance, which would then cause more inflammation, which would then cause more oxidative stress. Okay, so again, back to the basics. What is the basics? Diet. The Mediterranean diet. You can get the Mediterranean diet below exercise. I'm actually going to include just some simple exercises that you can do in the link below as well, too, because I want to make sure you guys get the resources that you need. And sleep, just try to sleep seven hours a night. And another thing is stress reduction. How do you reduce stress, guys? Well, if you sleep well, eat well, you actually, your stress level will go down. Exercise, your stress level go down as well. Meditate, even just closing your eyes, putting on your eye mask about five minutes a day. And talk to your loved ones, spend time with your loved one, talk to your wife, your partner, your friends, your mother, your sister, your brother. People that make you feel good, that relaxes you. And really sometimes just going outside, taking a walk. And Mother Nature will also help you as well, too. And notice all the things that I'm encouraging to do, you can do right now, you don't need to belong to a gym, you don't need to do anything you can do right now, tomorrow. So those are the four pillars. You need to do that first before you start taking that supplement that L Arginine or L Citrulline. A lot of people ask me what supplement will help with my erection. I go back and I say, take care of the foundation of your body first. Your health, what's going on inside your body first. Your diet is exercise, sleep, stress reduction. Do all that first before you start taking any type of supplement. Because you take the supplement and you're just not solid inside your foundation. Nothing is gonna work. It's like just a drop in the ocean. You're just wasting your money. So I know that the arginine, L Citrulline, is one of the most common supplement that you all like to take. And I want to make sure that you are educated on it and get back to the basics first of that Mediterranean diet. And check out the link below.
