As always thank you for these great insights.

As you mention a future post on nitric oxide, my favourite source of info has been Beth Shirley. This is a link to a webinar on NO and methylene blue (which you covered really will last year I recall)

Thank you Paul! I'll keep the information on hand for the future in case I use it!

There's a lot to say about nitric oxide. This post was going to dive into nutraceuticals but like many posts this one ran away from me.

The two main amino acids that appear to be used to produce it are L-arginine and L-citrulline and that was going to be something I was going to look into, as well as other plant sources that may help with NO production. So it'll be interesting to see what other mechanisms of NO production or uses are out there.

Dark greens, esp beet and arugula, beet juice are great sources of NO. Too much though can lead to oxalates. We take Chanca piedra, (Phyllanthus niruri) to keep oxalates at bay

There's a lot of research concerning nutrition and health to wade through, isn't there? It can make a person wonder how humanity ever survived without it. Or it might call one to notice how well humanity survived for so long without it.

Is this research actually helping, or is it part of the problem? It doesn't take much research to realize that food and other essentials have changed, especially over the past two centuries, and that general health has declined as well.

It isn't necessary to prove causation before we can begin to take responsibility for our own health. Strangely, I don't find much interest in doing that among the people I know. I wonder what causes that? (Really, I do.)
