Yeah, so what we're measuring is kind of steady-state salivary nitrite, and so this is dependent upon... Our diet, the last meal we had, the presence of oral microbiome, the activity of the receptors in the transport material in the duodenum, the silent receptor in the salivary glands. So it's a very complex cycle. It's called the enterosalivary circuit.

If it's intact and we eat a good diet, but again, it's based on our last meal, how dilute our saliva, people with dry mouth, poor salivary secretions. They're usually always low because they don't have that circuit intact.

The functional tests are much better. This is a biochemical test. Right, right. And I scored pretty high on that one.

So typically what I do is just get some saliva in your mouth. Get some saliva. And just apply it on the end of the test strip.

So this is, you'll see the pad there, the test pad.

So, you know, I haven't eaten since 5.30 PM yesterday. All right. Mine is like super light.

So mine, I mean, I'm optimal, but I work at this, right? I know my circuits intact. Yeah. And I got up this morning. I had one and a half cups of coffee. I did my 200 pushups, 200 setups. I activated, stimulated nitric oxide production. I have the right oral microbiome. And this is, this is typical for me.
