How NOX-100 works
Under normal conditions, Nitric Oxide (NO) is produced in small amounts and plays many crucial maintenance roles including regulating blood pressure, facilitating memory and defending against pathogens. But when inflammation occurs, NO can be produced in excessive amounts and contributes to disease pathology.
NOX-100 binds excessive NO but do not remove the low levels needed to perform vital maintenance functions in the body. NOX-100 eliminates excessive NO which is distinct from enzyme inhibitors, which block NO synthesis.
