WHY IS NITRIC OXIDE IMPORTANT
Nitric Oxide (NO) improves the flow of blood and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. This allows more efficient nutrient & oxygen delivery to activate muscles and other tissues. Dilated blood vessels also include our venous system which will allow the faster elimination of toxic waste product from the body.
NO also boosts the function of mitochondria in cells (our energy generating units). Cells are primarily fueled by simple sugars such as glucose and these are converted into the energy unit, ATP.
Nitric Oxide boosts the speed at which glucose is converted to ATP and it facilitates the entry of glucose into the cell. The faster glucose can be taken up by cells, the faster it can be converted into ATP Energy.
