Yeah, well, thanks so much for having this conversation with me.
I think that illustrates the problem, right?
Someone as informed as you don't know anything or never heard of nitric oxide.
Yeah, very good point.
So this is not nitrous oxide.
Nitrous oxide is, I mean, in medicine, it's a dental anesthetic, right?
It's a gas.
It's called laughing gas.
That's N2O.
It's the chemical formula.
What we're talking about is nitric oxide or NO, one nitrogen, one oxygen.
This molecule is foundational for human health and longevity.
So nitric oxide is a gas.
It's a naturally produced molecule.
It's a signaling molecule in the human body.
And so it regulates things like blood flow and oxygen delivery, and it mobilizes our own stem cells to help us recover and repair and replace dysfunctional
cells that improves energy production inside the cell, and it regulates blood flow.
So nitric oxide is a gas.
It's produced in the endothelium.
So the endothelium is the single layer of cells that line every blood vessel throughout the body.
