What Are All the Ways You Can Enhance Nitric Oxide?
Nitric oxide (NO) is a key endogenous signalling molecule that plays a pivotal role in athletic physiology.
As a potent vasodilator, NO relaxes vascular smooth muscle, increases blood vessel diameter, and enhances microcirculation, thereby optimising oxygen and nutrient delivery to working muscles, while facilitating the removal of metabolic by products.
Intense training blocks, competition stress, and environmental factors can reduce NO bioavailability, making strategies that enhance circulation and increase tissue oxygenation particularly valuable for athletes.
In this article, we’re going to look at how we can enhance nitric oxide naturally:
Dietary Nitrate-Rich Foods
- Leafy greens (spinach, arugula, kale) and beetroot supply nitrates, converted by the body into nitric oxide.
- Eating them regularly has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve exercise performance.
Consuming Antioxidants & Amino Acids
- Vitamin C and antioxidants help stabilize NO, preventing its breakdown.
- Amino acids like L-arginine and L-citrulline serve as direct precursors.
- Foods and supplements containing these support NO synthase activity.
Exercise & Blood Flow
- Aerobic exercise, HIIT, and strength training increase shear stress on blood vessel walls, boosting endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity.
Breathing Techniques
- Nasal breathing enriches nitric oxide levels in the airways, improving oxygen uptake and circulation.
Avoiding Mouthwash Overuse
- Overuse of antiseptic mouthwash
can disrupt oral bacteria that convert dietary nitrates into NO.
Infrared Light & Photobiomodulation
- Near- and far-infrared light stimulate NO release and eNOS activation.
- Research shows red/near-infrared wavelengths (700–1100 nm) can trigger NO release from tissue or hemoproteins.
How KYMIRA Infrared Enhances Nitric Oxide Production
eNOS Enzyme Activation
KYMIRA fabrics activate endothelial nitric oxide synthase in vessels beneath the clothing—significantly boosting localized nitric oxide production.
Improved Circulation & Oxygen Delivery
By enhancing NO-mediated vasodilation, KYMIRA products increase blood flow and tissue oxygenation by up to 20% within 70 minutes, outperforming technologies like hyperbaric chambers.
Targeted Performance Benefits
The systemic effect is limited, but the local impact includes improved recovery, reduced muscle soreness, and faster healing in areas covered by the infrared garment.
Clinically Validated Outcomes
Clinical studies report 15.9% better sleep quality, accelerated recovery post-exercise, reduced inflammation, and improved How KYMIRA Infrared Enhances Nitric Oxide Productioncirculation for conditions like Raynaud’s and tendonitis.
Summary
To boost nitric oxide:
- Eat nitrate-rich and antioxidant foods
- Exercise regularly and adopt nasal breathing
- Limit antiseptic mouthwash use
- Wear infrared-enhancing gear like Kymira for localized, efficient NO stimulation
KYMIRA’s infrared textile technology offers a non-invasive, scientifically validated way to amplify nitric oxide production right where your body needs it—enhancing circulation, performance, recovery, sleep, and pain management.
