Abstract

Nitric oxide is necessary for optimal cellular health. Topical Nitric oxide can be produced without the generation of nitric dioxide. A novel nitric oxide generating serum is examined in this Pilot Study. Nitric oxide is a free radical gas, produced endogenously from arginine by nitric oxide synthetase. Nitric oxide mediates vasodilation and inhibits platelet aggregation. As a result, Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator, and increases blood flow via capillary recruitment. Topical Nitric oxide Serum enhances the tone, quality and texture of skin, yielding a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, static rhytids, enlarged pores, and unwanted pigment. When used prior to any other product, the vasodilatory property primes the skin to enhance the absorption of other products.
