This is a new video where Dr Tommy Rhee shows a simple protocol for increasing Nitric Oxide production in less than 10 minutes using Power Plate.
How This Works:
Because of the intense muscle, bone and blood flow activity during Power Plate use, your body produces a form of energy kind of like static electricity. (Very rough analogy).
This "shear stress" when body tissue moves relative to other tissue helps create measurable levels of Nitric Oxide in the body.
Measurable = you can measure it with a Nitric Oxide Test Strip!
Nitric Oxide, along with Growth Hormone are both "fountain of youth" molecules. Watch the video here.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that plays a vital role in various physiological processes. Here are some key benefits of nitric oxide:
Improved Cardiovascular Health: Nitric oxide helps relax and dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. This can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues by enhancing circulation and oxygen delivery.
Enhanced Exercise Performance: By increasing blood flow to muscles, nitric oxide can improve endurance, strength, and recovery during physical activity. This is why nitric oxide boosters, like L-arginine or beetroot supplements, are popular among athletes.
Supports Erectile Function: Nitric oxide is critical for penile erections as it relaxes smooth muscles and increases blood flow to the genital area. This is the basis for how medications like Viagra work—they enhance NO signaling.
Boosts Immune Function: Nitric oxide is produced by immune cells to help fight off bacteria, viruses, and pathogens, acting as a natural defense mechanism in the body.
Regulates Inflammation: It plays a role in modulating inflammation, which can help prevent chronic inflammatory conditions when balanced properly.
Improves Brain Function: Nitric oxide acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, aiding in memory, learning, and cognitive function by facilitating communication between nerve cells.
May Aid Wound Healing: By promoting blood flow and angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), nitric oxide can accelerate tissue repair and healing.
Antioxidant Properties: Nitric oxide can neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and protecting cells from damage.

When you use a Power Plate, the 1200 vibrations every 30 seconds do more than soothe tight tendons, activate your muscles to burn more fat and make your bones stronger.
There are also some great additional benefits that include an array of anti-aging benefits.
Increased collagen build is something that also happens. This means your joints work better, and your skin looks better.
Here is how this works:
1) It is well established that Whole Body Vibration can increase levels of Natural Growth Hormone (GH) in the body by a measurable and meaningful level. Between 400% and 2600% in a range of different studies. (source).
2) It is also well established that once GH levels increase like this, collagen production inside the body goes up. Also to a measurable and meaningful degree.
This particular study measured different types of tissue in the body and found that increased levels of GH led to increased levels of Type 1 Collagen and Type 3 Collagen in tendons and skeletal muscle. This study showed increased level of Collagen in the skin after an increase in GH.
==>> What we find interesting is that Type 3 collagen is considered the softer "youth" collagen. We have Type 3 when we are young, and as we get older, the firmer Type 1 makes up 80% of our collagen.
For those of you who have been around the skin care discussion, you know that increases in Type 3 collagen lead to increased skin elasticity, hydration and firmness. (source).
What Does This All Mean In Super Simple Terms?
1) When you use a Power Plate, you are going to increase levels of Growth Hormone in your body, naturally. (Other forms of intense exercise can also increase GH levels).
2) This is going to lead to some level of increased collagen production in your entire body. Everyone will be different in terms of the exact effects.
We are writing this down for you because this idea presents yet another reason to use Power Plate Whole Body Vibration.
More collagen in your joints, tendons and connective tissue is going to keep your body working, more comfortably.
More collagen in your skin is also a great motivator to start the Power Plate habit in your home or at the gym. You'll feel good immediately, and you'll be motivated to "bring your workout to the Power Plate" to get these wonderful benefits.
The Power Plate can help even the most sedentary individuals make their body work better. The more you can bring to the equation, the more exercise there is to be amplified and accelerated.
How does one get started with Power Plate?
Our introductory model with the same 3D engine is the Personal Power Plate. At 35 pounds it is portable and can be put in a car. The Power Plate MOVE is our most popular home model and can be used by every member of the family. (Even the dogs and cats!). Many Pro sports teams use the Pro 5 and the Pro5HC. Elite gyms like Lifetime and Equinox make the Pro7 available to their members.
