HSI’s 13 Most Surprising Cures • 131
When you don’t have enough NO to go around, your arteries can’t relax,
they remain small and tight. And when your blood has a smaller, cramped
space to flow through, it forces your blood pressure higher. That high pres-
sure can cause some serious damage to your artery walls, allowing dangerous
plaques to move in.
And once this cycle kicks off, your risk of heart attack and strokes increases
dramatically.
Lack of NO has other consequences, too. In addition to setting off a
plaque attack, it also leads to very damaging chronic inflammation in your
arteries. Then, oxidative stress sneaks in. On their own, inflammation and
oxidation are bad. Together, they help plaque burst open to release its toxins
which can trigger blood clots in your arteries.
But restoring your NO levels can stop this from happening at all.NEO40 Daily™ brings back the NO
Dr. Nathan Bryan knows a little something about nitric oxide—he’s been
studying it for more than ten years. And when he realized its role in disease
prevention, he knew he had to come with a way to help people (especially
those of us over 40) improve their NO status.
So he, along with Dr. Janet Zand, started screening hundreds of herbs and
foods for their NO content. They took the best of those, and formulated a
lozenge called NEO40 Daily. Then Dr. Bryan and his research team set out to
learn just how well their new NO-boosting supplement really worked.
First, they tested the NEO40 lozenges to make sure they could real-
ly generate NO. To do that, they had some people test the lozenges. The
researchers drew blood to get a baseline level, then the subjects each let one
lozenge dissolve in their mouths. After five minutes, the post-lozenge blood
testing began. And when all the data was in, nitrite levels (a key indicator of
NO levels) had doubled.^1
And when they took their research to the next level, they found even more
good news than they’d expected.
Reduce triglycerides by up to 55%
while increasing your NO
The next phase of their study2 lasted 30 days, and this time included
subjects with at least known cardiovascular risk factors (like high triglycerides,
high blood pressure, and diabetes, for example). Every day, these subjects took
either a NEO40 lozenge or placebo twice a day for 30 days.
