As Dr. Nathan Bryan clearly points out, there's one miracle molecule in your body that is largely responsible for your health and longevity...NITRIC OXIDE. - Lou Ignarro, 1998 Nobel Prize Winner in Physiology or Medicine

"The Secret of Nitric Oxide by Dr Nathan Bryan may be one of the most important books that you will ever read..." - Mark C. Houston, M.D., M.S., M.Sc., Director, Hypertension Institute and Vascular Biology, Saint Thomas Hospital

Dr Bryan masterfully unveils the life-changing potential of nitric oxide, from its Nobel Prize-winning discovery to its transformative role in health and disease. - Robert Lufkin M.D., NYT bestselling author of Lies I Taught In Medical School and medical school professor

I enthusiastically endorse this book and urge all who care about health and healthy longevity to read it and incorporate this knowledge into your life. - Felice Gersh, M.D., Medical Director, Integrative Medical Group of Irvine

The remarkable discovery of the molecule nitric oxide or NO back in the early 1980s revolutionised vascular biology and the understanding of chronic disease. Robert F. Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro, and Ferid Murad won the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries about nitric oxide. Several years later, one man and his discoveries cracked the code on developing a solid dose form of nitric oxide gas as an oral delivery and also a dual-chamber delivery for topical applications.

This book will take the reader through the early life of Dr. Bryan, through his education and research that led to these important discoveries, and will inspire, motivate and encourage others to follow their dreams and not give up even when it seems the cards are stacked against you.
