Bio-Electrode Therapy (BeT) supports healing not only through meridian-aligned bioelectric stimulation, but also by promoting the natural production of nitric oxide (NO)—a vital signaling molecule involved in circulation, immunity, regeneration, and cellular energy.
What Is Nitric Oxide?
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced naturally by the body and plays essential roles in:
· Vasodilation and improved blood flow
· Immune modulation and inflammation reduction
· Neurotransmission and nervous system balance
· Tissue regeneration and wound healing
· Mitochondrial energy production (ATP)
How BeT Stimulates Nitric Oxide Production
- BeT electrodes create sustained microcurrents that activate nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes
- The ionic flow enhances local blood circulation, supporting endothelial NO release
- Improved electrical flow supports mitochondrial NO signaling, optimizing ATP production
- BeT may enhance NO in skin, nerves, and connective tissue, accelerating recovery
Scientific Support for Bioelectric-NO Pathways
Numerous studies confirm that even low-level electric fields—like those used in BeT—can stimulate NO production:• Zhao M, Song B, Pu J, et al. Electrical signals control wound healing through phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase-γ and PTEN. Nature. 2006;442(7101):457–460.

Conclusion
BeT gently supports the body’s natural healing intelligence. By stimulating nitric oxide production, BeT enhances tissue oxygenation, reduces inflammation, supports the nervous system, and accelerates regeneration—without pharmaceuticals or external devices.
