One of the reasons it took so long to identify Nitric Oxide as a vital component to human health is Nitric Oxide is typically seen as a toxic component of air pollution caused by automobiles and trucks. In our bodies, Nitric Oxide is vital to our health even though it can be a highly potent free radical if not mediated by certain compounds that render its oxidative effect harmless to human cells,
yet still lethal to bacteria and other infections. Vitamin B6 is an essential vitamin which plays an important role in supporting balanced homocysteine levels while supporting the fragile nitric oxide cofactor, tetrahydrobiopterin.
