If nitric oxide is so important to cardiovascular health, why not take a daily dose of nitric oxide instead of EDTA?
The problem is that nitric oxide is so powerful that when we give it as a drug, there’s a chance that, just like when we used to give you nitroglycerin to put under your tongue to dilate your arteries and stop your heart pain, you might get an explosive headache. So it’s not innocuous to give you substances to get a nitroglycerin or nitric oxide-like effect. It turns out that it’s wonderful if I can figure out a way to optimize your body’s ability to make just its own ideal dose of nitric oxide, (which we believe Detoxamin helps you do, by detoxifying the cells that make NO). Because your body is not a fool and will not make too much, so there is no worry about over dosing you with EDTA induced NO.
