Nitric oxide plays a major role in how well your body functions, especially when it comes to blood flow to the heart and brain, muscle pumps and performance in the gym, erectile quality and firmess, and overall circulation and vascular health.
If your levels are low, you may notice weaker pumps, slower recovery, or erections that aren’t what they used to be.
That’s why testing matters.
The Simple Way to Test Nitric Oxide Levels at Home
At Phoenix Men’s Health Center, we offer Nitric Oxide Saliva Test Strips that make testing fast and easy.
What You’ll Need:
- Test strips (each container includes about 50 strips)
- Saliva (that’s it)
How to Use the Test Strips:
- Remove one strip from the container
- Place it in your mouth
- Let a small amount of saliva absorb onto the stirp
- Wait about 30 seconds
- Compare the color to the chart provided
The pinker the strip, the better your NO levels.
When Should You Test Your Nitric Oxide Levels?
For best results, test your nitric oxide 20–30 minutes after:
- Taking Nitric Oxide Supplements
- Drinking Nitric Oxide Smoothies
- Eating a meal designed to support blood flow
This timing lets you see whether what you’re consuming is actually doing its job.
The Best Foods for Increasing Nitric Oxide Naturally
If you want stronger, more consistent production, focus on whole foods, especially:
- Spinach
- Beets
- Leafy green vegetables
- Garlic
- Lemon
I personally use a green smoothie with spinach and beets as the base. Those ingredients do far more for NO than supplements alone.
Why?
Because food contains supporting vitamins and minerals that help your body actually use L-arginine and L-citrulline more effectively.
Your body is holistic. Your nutrition should be too.
Supplements vs Food: What Works Best?
Supplements can help, but they work best on top of a solid diet. Think of supplements as support, not a replacement. If your nitric oxide levels are low:
- Add more greens first
- Then evaluate supplements
- Test again to confirm improvement
That’s how you dial it in.
Testing your levels doesn’t have to be complicated. With a simple saliva strip, you can quickly see whether your routine is actually supporting your blood flow, performance, and sexual health.
