Who is Dr. Nathan Bryan?

Nathan S. Bryan, PhD is an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry.

Specifically, Dr. Bryan was the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health. He was the first to demonstrate and discover an endocrine function of nitric oxide via the formation of S-nitrosoglutathione and inorganic nitrite.
