Episode #122: Are Nitric Oxide Supplements Necessary?

We are back with part 2 of our podcast with Dr. John Ivy.  If you haven’t yet listened to part one you absolutely should go back and do that because it’s chock full of great information.

This time, we are continuing the conversation about nitric oxide and talking about why most of us probably should be supplementing our diets with Nitric oxide. 

Dr Ivy has been doing groundbreaking research in this area of study for the last 10-15 years and is considered an invaluable expert in this field.

This episode dives deep into understanding the limitations of our own body’s ability to produce nitric oxide and how research has shown how vital nitric oxide is to the health of our systems.

Take a listen to learn about why we might need to consider supplementing nitric oxide and why quality matters.
