Some research suggests that nitric oxide is one of the most beneficial compounds in the body, while other research suggests it can be damaging to your mitochondria. What explains the conflicting data?

There are different systems of nitric oxide in the body, and failing to distinguish between them may explain some of the confusion.

Certain foods and exercise can help boost nitric oxide, while common lifestyle and dietary habits may unknowingly destroy it. Blood sugar spikes are one major factor, and even certain types of mouthwash can affect nitric oxide levels.
