Frens,

We have had numerous discussions on the merit of Linus Pauling's assertions that blood vessel health and CAC scores can be lowered by consuming large doses of L-Lysine with Vitamin C. I just wanted to add another very useful supplement that can help people who have high blood pressure and low endogenous Nitric Oxide levels, which can lead to blood vessel damage. I have been taking a supplement by Dr. Nathan Bryan called N1O1. It is a lozenge that you take twice daily, 12 hours apart. The purpose of the lozenge is to generate nitric oxide and revitalize the NOS enzymes responsible for converting L Arginine to L Citrulline. Instead of supplying Nitrite, such as beet powder, this generates actual NO courtesy of your saliva and stomach acid. I have been on the supplement for 14 days, and my average resting blood pressure is 122/76. Prior to taking the supplement, my average resting blood pressure was 139/88. I had previously been on Telmisartan to lower blood pressure, but this lozenge appears to have helped fix my endothelial health by revitalizing the NOS enzymes within my blood vessels. The effect is also cumulative, with his clinical trials indicating around 10-15% of NOS enzymes being revitalized each day that you take the supplement. I sleep like a baby, and have been working out like a mad man, after just 1 week. It's truly been a miracle, and I implore our Frens to check him out! Sauce below in comments.
