Why Most “Nitric Oxide” Supplements Fail

The most common ways people try to boost their nitric oxide levels don’t work. Here’s why:

L-arginine supplements

Clinical studies show L-arginine loses up to 75% of its potency during digestion. What’s more, after age 45, your body struggles to convert L-arginine to nitric oxide at all.

Beet juice and leafy greens

While effective, you'd need 2-3 pounds of these foods daily for therapeutic effects. Plus, their nitric oxide-boosting power varies, depending on the soil these plants grew.

Standard pills and capsules

These go straight to your stomach. But MIT scientists found that the first and most crucial step in nitric oxide production does NOT happen in your gut.
