But people would use this test strip and think, oh, this is nitric oxide test strip. It's not a nitric oxide test strip. Nitric oxide is a gas. Once it's produced, it's gone in less than a second. What we're measuring here is salivary nitrite and the ability of the oral microbiome to recycle nitrate from the diet into nitrite. Then we swallow the nitrite in our saliva.

We get nitric oxide in the stomach. And the example came years ago, probably 10 or 12 years ago. We were demoing these test strips, I think, at a compounding pharmacy in Austin. And this 50-year-old guy walked in, severe obese, morbidly obese. His blood pressure was through the roof. He was diabetic. He hadn't had an erection in 10 years.

And obviously the clinical symptoms of nitric oxide deficiency, complete nitric oxide deficiency. He goes, oh, well, let me test this. He turns bright pink.

The higher the nitric oxide. The higher nitric oxide. The interpretation.

So we go, oh, he goes, I'm healthy. If what you're saying is true, I'm healthy. I don't need nitric oxide. Yeah. This dude had... all the comorbidities, all the symptoms.

What we're measuring in that case is the immune reaction, the local immune response in the gingival tissue in the mouth from either an asymptomatic or even a symptomatic infection. He didn't even know he had an infection.

but yet his immune system did, and it was creating, these macrophages were producing nitric oxide, it was spilling over in the saliva, and we were detecting it on these test strips.
