Nitric oxide can increase blood flow and reduce blood
pressure. Supplements that increase nitric oxide production may also be
beneficial for managing certain health conditions
Nitric oxide is produced naturally by the human body and is
one of the most important molecules for blood vessel health (1Trusted
Source).
It’s a vasodilator, meaning it relaxes the inner muscles of
your blood vessels, causing the vessels to widen. In this way, nitric oxide
increases blood flow and lowers blood pressure (2Trusted
Source).
Supplements that increase nitric oxide in the body make up
one of the most popular supplement categories today.
These supplements don’t contain nitric oxide itself.
However, they contain compounds that your body can use to make nitric oxide and
have been shown to provide many benefits for health and performance.
1. Helps treat erectile
dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or
maintain an erection firm enough for sex
Nitric oxide is needed for the muscles in the penis to
relax. This relaxation allows chambers inside the penis to fill with blood so
the penis becomes erect.
2. May decrease muscle soreness
(Muscle soreness is an uncomfortable experience that tends to occur after
strenuous or unaccustomed exercise)
3. Lowers blood pressure (High
blood pressure occurs when the force of your blood pushing against the
walls of your arteries is consistently too high. It is defined as systolic
blood pressure above 130 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and/or diastolic blood
pressure higher than 80 mmHg)
