Functional Nitric Oxide Nutrition: Dietary Strategies to Prevent and Treat Chronic Disease Paperback – Large Print, May 1, 2018

Dr Bryan did a great job on this book! It’s easy to understand and the topic is very trendy in the clinical age management world. Quite possibly a life changing work for the majority that read it. I appreciate the research and years of caring that Dr Bryan has put into this.

Cutting edge research on NO. Effective plan of action to boost NO, NO2, NO3 and their role in human nutrition. Somewhat repetitive and meandering writing, book could have easily been shortened. Main points: 1. NO formed in body by endothelial cells via arginine pathway and via NO3 to NO2 breakdown by bacteria in mouth followed by NO2 to NO gas breakdown in stomach (if ph is under 3.0) followed by absorption in the gut. A teaspoon to tablespoon of apple cider vinegar will lower ph in older adults that often do not make enough stomach acid. 2. NO endothelial arginine pathway decreases by 10-12% per decade, so decreases by 50% by age 50 and by 75% at age 70. 3. The NO3 -> NO2 -> NO Pathway is entirely disrupted by using antiseptic mouthwash, fluoride toothpaste, or by PPI antacid tablets. 4. Systolic blood pressure reductions of 12 mmHg may occur with regular supplementation. 5. May reduce insulin resistance in diabetics. Has many other positive effects on heath. 6. Too much causes a mild, temporary (~1 hr), headache.A good read.

While I enjoyed the explanation of how nitrates, nitrites, and nitric oxide is processed and benefit heart health and other metabolic functions, I was disappointed that when discussing how to supplement the diet I have no idea how to find a product that meets the criteria suggested.As a 72 year old male who reads a lot about maintaining health I was hoping for some suggestions to point toward a product that would help. I am glad he was not selling anything, that adds credibility to the message, but I am not sure I can fully benefit since I do not understand how to research the products the way that is suggested.

excellent read on one of the most important compounds in the human body

The content from an expert on Nitric Oxide is excellent! Thank you for scribing your life works in an easy to read book. Exceptional!

It's a great read on a critically important topic by a top scientist, but there are no footnotes. Dr. Bryan has published a ton of academic papers, and refers to many of his own in the book's extensive bibliography. Dr. Bryan has all those specific references available by page number, but didn't supply them in context... because there are no footnotes. Nor is there an index. Really?Why not?

My husband suffers with poor leg circulation. I read Dr B's book. I like his information. N O certainly helps with a lot of things. I never knew about N O before. The book is very easy to understand. A+

Dr. Bryan tells it like it is. The NO problem is artfully explained in easy to grasp language and the recipe for healing ourselves is well laid out. The positive effects on personal health will be revolutionary. Bravo.
