When nitric oxide enters a cell, it penetrates the underlying smooth muscles that control your blood vessels and acts as a potent vasodilator that relaxes the arteries, allowing increased blood flow. But, here's the thing. As you grow older, the flow of blood through your circulatory system ebbs - that means less oxygen and nutrients reach your brain, muscles and other vital organs. By the time you reach age 40 your body makes about half as much NO as it did in your youth. Without adequate levels of biologically available nitric oxide, you start showing signs of aging. So, obviously the reverse of that is increased availability of nitric oxide which will increase blood flow to your brain, your muscles, and to all your organs and cells. That means you just feel younger, less forgetful, and can go a whole lot farther before you get tired.
