How Can Nitric Oxide Help?
Nitric Oxide regulates circulation, which is fundamental to the function of all bodily systems. Symptoms often considered synonymous with aging may simply be signs that certain areas are not getting enough blood flow.
How Nitric Oxide Supports Whole-Body Health
From the tops of our heads to the tips of our toes, blood flow is the key to oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body. That’s why restoring and maintaining adequate Nitric Oxide (NO) levels in the body is critical.
Without healthy blood flow, our systems and tissues suffer and lose function — putting the body at risk for a myriad of health problems.
Cognitive Health
Nitric Oxide supports normal cognitive function by increasing oxygen flow to the brain.
Eye Health
NO is shown to regulate intraocular pressure naturally and support overall eye health.
Gut Health
Nitric Oxide supports gastrointestinal function and helps maintain the gut microbial ecosystem.
Hormone Health
Nitric Oxide helps to regulate the release of hormones and maintain proper hormone balance.
Sexual Health
By improving circulation to sex organs, NO plays a critical role in sexual response and function.
Cardiovascular Health
Nitric Oxide is crucial in relaxing blood vessels and arteries to support strong heart function.
Immune Health
NO helps develop immune response to bacterial and viral threats and regulate inflammation.
Nitric Oxide Decreases Naturally as We Age
Nitric Oxide (NO) production rapidly declines after age 40, and continues to decline. However, dietary nitrates found in foods like beets and leafy greens, and in supplements like Berkeley Life, can help optimize NO production as we age.

Nitrates: The Best Path to Nitric Oxide Support
Berkeley Life is being recommended by top healthcare providers across the country. Our products and innovation are driven by industry experts who offer unique perspectives on NO and its applications in specific areas of patient care, including heart health, hormone balance, cognitive health, sexual function, and more.
Peer-reviewed research shows that dietary nitrates are a superior method of Nitric Oxide (NO) supplementation over arginine, citrulline, or nitrite. Given a healthy oral microbiome, nitrates can be converted into nitrite to support NO levels at all ages.
Dietary nitrates come from nitrate rich vegetables and beetroot – or in Berkeley Life’s easy dietary nitrate supplement. Dietary nitrates are converted to nitrite in our saliva, then used as needed by the body to create Nitric Oxide.
Products that supplement Nitric Oxide production through arginine and citrulline are supplementing through the Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) pathway. Unfortunately, the NOS enzyme responsible for conversion is subject to uncoupling and can be easily rendered ineffective when subjected to stress, medications, poor diet, lack of exercise, and more. This breakdown in the NOS enzyme contributes to the loss of Nitric Oxide that we experience as we age.
Berkeley Life delivers dietary nitrates to support Nitric Oxide function. Dietary nitrates are a proven and reliable way to provide Nitric Oxide support independent of the NOS enzyme’s functionality.
A Foundation of Total Health
Berkeley Life Supplements feature a clinically effective, two capsule daily dose of quality dietary nitrates that are proven to support Nitric Oxide (NO) production to increase NO levels. Our products are backed by peer-reviewed clinical research – and we work with industry-leading clinicians who guide us in all areas of product development.

What happens if my test strip does not change color 90 mins after taking capsules?
Remember that recent consumption of water or food can dilute saliva and may result in a false negative on your test strip. If no food and water have been consumed and the test strip still has not turned pink, it may point to an inadequate amount of oral bacteria. The oral microbiome helps convert nitrates to nitrite in the saliva, and without it, the conversion cannot be made. We recommend the patient asks their provider about steps that can be taken to help support oral microbiome.
Are there any contra-indications to taking Berkeley Life?
There is no expected risk to taking Berkeley Life. No serious adverse events have been reported for any of our products to date or in any of our clinical trials.
Our general rule of thumb – if you are able to consume a leafy green salad, you can take Berkeley Life. Even patients with oxalate sensitivities are able to take Berkeley Life without issue
How long do I need to stay on Nitric Oxide?
We are making less and less Nitric Oxide as we get older, so it is important to continuously support Nitric Oxide every day through diet or supplementation.

Is your product safe for someone with oxalate sensitivities?
Yes. The amount of soluble, or movable, level of oxalates in two capsules of Berkeley Life is just 0.7m per 2 capsule dose. For reference, a food item which is considered low oxalate contains between 5-9mg of oxalates.
