Your brain is starving for this ONE nutrient.

It's not a vitamin, mineral, or protein.

It's a natural substance that slows aging in adults and transforms newborns' brain development forever.

Here's what it is (& how to get enough of it naturally): 🧵 It’s called Nitric Oxide (NO).

Your body makes it every day.

NO widens blood vessels and fuels cellular energy.

But by age 40, your levels drop by over 50%, which means:
• Less brain oxygen
• Slower energy
• Weaker blood flow
• Higher risk of disease
