Nitric Oxide Indicator Strip Tub

Product overview

HumanN Nitric Oxide Indicator Strips provide a unique monitoring tool for sampling and measuring salivary nitrite concentration, an important biomarker of Nitric Oxide production and availability. Offering the easiest and most effective way to discover if you are Nitric Oxide deficient, these test strips are convenient, easy to use with results available immediately.

• Patent-pending, unique and convenient monitoring of current Nitric Oxide (NO) levels
• Easy-to-use, non-invasive and cost-effective test strips sample salivary nitrate concentration
• Accurate and easy to read results determine current Nitric Oxide production and availability
• Each tube contains 25 indicator strips and offer instant, easy-to-read results

Are Your Nitric Oxide Levels Depleted?

HumanN Nitric Oxide Indicator Strips offer a simple way to check if you’re consuming enough dietary nitrate in your diet. For many of us, getting enough of the good stuff through our diet is difficult and for others, the enzyme needed to convert our dietary nutrients into Nitric Oxide simply is no longer present. Nitric Oxide Indicator Strips can give an accurate indication of whether the diet is lacking and if the body is NO deficient.

How do the Nitric Oxide Indicator Strips work?

Once nitric oxide is produced by the endothelial cells or other cells in the body it is oxidized to nitrite and nitrate. The Nitric Oxide Indicator Strips measure the amount of nitric oxide that is recirculated through the saliva. This measure represents the total systemic bioavailability of nitric oxide in your body at that time.

Know Your Nitric Oxide Levels in 3 Simple Steps

Nitric Oxide Indicator Strips capture a simple and non-invasive saliva sample to determine the concentration of nitrite in your saliva, thereby determining your current Nitric Oxide levels in the body. They offer an accurate, cost-efficient and convenient measure of total body NO availability and indicate the body’s ability to produce NO. Results are easy to read and are measured by comparing the indicator strip to a colour-coded chart.

Step 1 – Ideal testing time is first thing in the morning after an overnight fast. Wash your hands and gather saliva on your fingertip.

Step 2 – Place the saliva on the indicator strip pad. Don’t put the strip in your mouth.

Step 3 – Compare your results to the colour chart provided. The lighter pink, the more Nitric Oxide deficient you are.

Understanding your results

If the test strips register the lightest colour, this indicates a low or depleted Nitric Oxide status. To support this situation, it is recommended to use HumanN Neo40® Daily at a dose of 1 tablet twice daily for 30 days. Ideally, you should be testing your NO levels daily when first supplementing with Neo40® but at a minimum ensure that this is 2-3 times per week. The goal is to gain and maintain optimal readings for 2 weeks. Once achieved, reduce the dose of Neo40® to 1 tablet per day.

Test strips registering the darkest colour on the chart indicate optimal Nitric Oxide status. To maintain levels of this important health molecule, supplement with Neo40® once daily. Measure results at least once per week to monitor. NO levels naturally decline in the body with age, and other factors can also interfere with the body’s natural production of NO.

Suggested Use

Directions for using the Indicator Strips

• Ideal testing time is first thing in the morning after an overnight fast.
• Avoid drink for at least 30 minutes to avoid dilution of saliva.
• Avoid food for at least 1 hour prior to testing to achieve steady state.
• Avoid unnecessary exposure of the strips to the air. Close lid on container promptly after removing a strip for screening, to avoid exposure to atmospheric nitrogen.
• Place saliva on the indicator pad using your finger.
• Compare the indicator strip colour to the colour chart on the package.
• Test regularly as many factors can affect NO balance in the body.
• The use of antiseptic mouthwash and antibiotics can skew the accuracy of your results.

How often should I use the Nitric Oxide Indicator Strips?

It is recommend to use the Nitric Oxide Indicator Strips every day when you first begin taking Neo40®. This will help you track your nitric oxide restoration process. You can also use before and after intense physical exercise or at a set time each day. 

Monitoring your nitric oxide levels before and after taking your nitric oxide supplements will allow you to see the change. But do wait at least 15-30 minutes after taking a Neo40® tab before use.

My indicator strip continues to show "low" - is it not working?

The following can adversely affect the accuracy of the indicator strips:

- Taking antibiotics
- Using mouthwash
- Testing when your saliva is diluted

There are also some people who do not have the proper bacteria in their mouth or their stomach to support nitric oxide repletion. If you continue to test “low” after using Neo40 for the recommended 30-45 day restoration phase, you are likely one of these people. Individuals who do not show improvement with the strips are often the ones who need Neo40® the most, as it may be the only and primary source of NO available to the body.

Cautions

• If pregnant, nursing or taking medications, consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use.
• Keep closed in dry place; avoid excessive heat.
• Do not use if safety seal is broken or missing.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare practitioner.
