Summary

Learn about nitric oxide’s crucial role in your body systems, how to naturally produce more of it, and how to supplement effectively and safely. 

Research scientist Nathan Bryan, Ph.D., has been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 25 years and has made many discoveries in the field. He’s an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry. You'll find out how nitric oxide works within major body functions and what you can do to increase your body's natural production of it.

Pneuma Nitric Oxide sponsored this episode.

Human performance depends on sufficient oxygen and nutrient delivery to organs, tissues, and cells so they can do their job. Nitric oxide controls oxygen and nutrient delivery. It’s now recognized “as one of the most important molecules produced in the body of humans,” Nathan says. “It's a vasodilator, so it controls the regulation of blood flow. It's what's responsible for oxygen and nutrient delivery to every organ, tissue, and cell in the body.”

That’s why it’s so important to find the right carrier to effectively deliver this complex and bioactive gas that’s gone in less than a second. Nathan was one of the first scientists to develop a technology to make a solid dose form of nitric oxide.

He shares information about Pneuma Nitric Oxide’s key products, like its lozenges, and the N1O1 skincare line. The lozenges open small blood vessels internally and the topicals open superficial blood vessels on the skin to improve blood flow and cellular turnover. He explains how to use a nitric oxide-generating serum on your skin from his N1O1 skincare line that enhances blood flow and promotes wound healing. 

Nathan presents the anti-aging, performance-enhancing, and nootropic benefits of nitric oxide along with its role in improving stem cell function, controlling telomerase activity, and improving mitochondrial function.

He identifies the different isoforms of nitric oxide for you, noting that you should choose a nitric oxide supplement that delivers the same amount of nitric oxide that the body would normally produce. He emphasizes the importance of restoring the body's ability to naturally produce nitric oxide and debunks the use of nitric oxide precursors such as L-arginine and citrulline. He also stresses using safe and effective nitric oxide products.

Today is a special upgrade spotlight edition where I go deep with an innovator or an

inventor on something that they actually make.

0:24.4

The reason for these episodes, they're short, but I want you to understand the people

0:30.2

and the things that are out there that make biohacking happen.

0:34.6

And this episode is about something that's really important.

0:38.0

So important, there was a Nobel Prize for it in the last 1998.

0:43.6

When was that?

0:44.6

1998.

0:45.6

So about 25 years ago.

0:47.6

And we're talking about nitric oxide.

0:51.1

If you're into bodybuilding, you probably see like, in an old pump, extreme 2000.

0:56.9

This is not that.

0:58.5

In fact, that doesn't do anything.

1:01.5

And we're going to learn why it doesn't do anything.

1:05.0

And I'm in just the spirit of full disclosure.

1:08.1

I've known about nitric oxide for a long time.

1:10.4

And I've tried strategies to raise it.

1:12.4

And universally, it gave me a bad headache.

1:17.3

Because as you're going to learn in this interview, there's three different types of
