The science of you, working better.

There’s a crucial molecule in your body that helps control your circulation, your energy, your stamina, your heart—even your sharpness of mind. It’s called nitric oxide.

After age 40, your body makes less and less of it. That means less blood flow. Less stamina. Less of you. But now there’s N1O1 nitric oxide lozenges, developed by Dr. Nathan Bryan — the world’s leading nitric oxide researcher.

I take them twice a day, especially before my workouts, to support healthy circulation and boost oxygen delivery to my muscles and brain. 

N1O1 is designed to naturally restore your body’s nitric oxide levels, and goes to work in minutes, releasing nitric oxide directly into your bloodstream, and helping you feel the way you’re supposed to feel.

More energy. Better blood flow. Sharper focus. Day after day.
