A member asked:

Is there any reason to want to increase nitric oxide in the body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good for arteries: Nitric oxide dilates arteries and improves the functioning of the lining of the blood vessels. It lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow to organs. Here's a link to some more information: http://www.Rd.Com/health/wellness/heart-disease-risk-factor-1-nitric-oxide/.
