Q&A with Dr. J: When Good Supplements Go Bad 

 September 9, 2025

Think nitric oxide supplements are universally beneficial?

Dr. J reveals why these popular heart health supplements could be creating dangerous free radicals in your body — but only if you have certain genetic variants.

The truth: Nitric oxide absolutely does dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and boost brain communication. Your body naturally makes it from foods like beets to fight infections.
But here's the catch — when it breaks down, it creates superoxide and peroxynitrites that can damage your neurons.

What You'll Learn:
• How variants in your SOD gene affect free radical clearance
• Why some people can't break down nitric oxide byproducts safely
• The connection between gut health and nitric oxide production
• Why mouthwash might be sabotaging your immune system
• Dr. J’s powerful case study of pulmonary fibrosis recovery
• Why NAD supplements can also backfire with certain genes

The MyHappyGenes Philosophy: Instead of taking supplements blindly, understand what your body needs based on your genetic blueprint.
Dr. J explains why she'd rather help your body produce what it needs naturally than risk genetic mismatches.

Featured Genes Discussed:
SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) variants
Nitric Oxide Synthase enzyme variants
NDUFUS gene and energy production

Stop playing supplement roulette. Your genes determine whether that popular supplement is helping — or slowly harming — you.
