THE SCIENCE DRIVING MAGNESTHETICS 

​

NO stands for Nitric Oxide and nitric oxide stands for cellular diversity and intrigue. Indeed, NO is so intriguing that it is a past recipient of the “molecule of the year” award chosen by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The reason: NO plays a pivotal role in a multitude of functions that range from the dilation of blood vessels to the turning on of flashers in fireflies.

 

Nitric oxide is synthesized within cells by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase.

In 1998, three American scientists received the Nobel Prize for discovering the beneficial effects of NO on the heart. Nitrogylcerin has been used for decades to treat chest pain. We now know how this drug works. In the body nitroglycerin releases NO which directly relaxes blood vessels increasing blood flow and decreasing blood pressure.

​

How do Viagra, Cialis and Levitra work? These agents increase NO in the body leading to increased blood flow.

​

Several recent articles document the beneficial effect of NO on wound healing. Increased collagen synthesis and epithelialization (meaning growth of healthy skin cells) is due in part to the effect of NO on blood vessels. Mice lacking a receptor for nitrous oxide age faster and have a shortened life span.

 

NO is a hot topic and Wikipedia estimates that an astounding 3,000 scientific articles are published yearly concerning the biological roles of NO.

​

Magnets and magnetic fields have been used in medicine for decades. Recent attention has focused on their beneficial effects on wound healing.  A 2008 article published in the Journal of Plastic Surgery documents that a low power electromagnetic field increases the rate of wound healing.  How? A 2010 article published in the British Journal of Dermatology provides a possible answer documenting that low frequency electromagnetic fields increase the activity of NO synthase which leads to increased production of NO. And increased production of NO stimulates wounds to heal. Further, creams containing NO have demonstrated efficacy as treatment for a variety of common skin conditions including acne.

 

Our CBD formulation emits a low frequency magnetic field courtesy of imbedded specially-coated particles containing magnetite.  Not just any magnetite but the spherical variety. Miniscule, rounded, activated dynamos uncommonly found in nature.

 

Low frequency magnetic fields stimulate production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a biologic switch that has a profound effect upon microcirculation.
