Why is nitric oxide important for vision?
Nitric oxide, one of the principal oxides of nitrogen, is produced naturally to assist with many health aspects. It contributes to vasodilation, relaxing the muscles that line your blood vessels allowing them to widen and improve circulation. In that capacity it allows nutrients and oxygen to travel throughout the body efficiently.
As a free radical, in excess, nitric oxide (NO) contributes to inflammation, so should only be taken in recommended dosages. In a balanced system, it is beneficial and can actually reduce inflammation. And in the case of glaucoma, it can be helpful in reducing elevated eye pressure (IOP) naturally.
