The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iodine for adults who are not pregnant or breastfeeding is a mere 150 micrograms.

The body makes nitric oxide in two ways. Cells lining the blood vessels produce nitric oxide from L-arginine, an amino acid found in meat and nuts. This process declines with age, but the body also makes nitric oxide by processing nitrates directly from food. Nitrates are found in dark, leafy greens and certain root vegetables, like beets.
