Berkeley Life
Prebiotic Nitrate Chewing Gum
This biome-balancing chewing gum helps to optimize the oral environment for a health-promoting microbiome by shifting away from acid promoting microbes and towards nitric-oxide supporting microbes. With regular use, a balanced health-promoting microbiome and Nitric Oxide production can be restored.
- 8 pieces per pack.
Ingredients
Proprietary Prebiotic Blend:
- Potassium nitrate as prebiotic
- Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)
- Zinc (Zinc citrate)
Other ingredients: Gum base, Sorbitol, Maltitol, Xylitol, Isomalt, Natural & artificial flavors, Vegetarian magnesium stearate, Stevia leaf glycosides, Natural silica, Vegetarian glycerin.

Directions for use
Chew one piece of gum for 5 minutes twice daily. Do not swallow gum. Do not exceed recommended daily dose.

How Can Nitric Oxide Help
Sexual Health
Nitric Oxide supports vasodilation in the body, opening pathways for optimal blood flow and circulation – a
critical functionality for adequate sexual function. In men, Nitric Oxide helps to increase blood flow to the
penis, which is essential for achieving and maintaining an erection. In women, Nitric Oxide helps to increase
blood flow to the clitoris and vagina, which is essential for sexual arousal and orgasm. Nitric Oxide also plays a
critical role as a signaling molecule in the brain, assisting in the modulation of hormone activity.
- – 78% of women reported increased desire
- – 83% of women reported more satisfaction with orgasm
- – 83% of women reported reduced discomfort
- – 50% of men 45+ see ED improvement

Gut Health
Nitric oxide plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy gut by promoting the nitrate to nitrite to nitric oxide
pathway. Dysbiosis, or disruption of the intestinal microbial ecosystem, can have a significant impact on
physical and mental health due to the gut-brain connection. A nitrate-rich diet can help prevent dysbiosis,
promote gastrointestinal health, and maintain homeostasis by supporting the gut-brain axis. Additionally,
nitrates and their metabolites are linked to healthy oral, gut, and intestinal microbiota, and may also modulate
inflammatory and immune pathways.

Heart Health
Age, lack of exercise, and diet can lead to buildup in our macro and microvasculature, narrowing the
pathways blood takes to circulate through the body. Nitric Oxide plays a crucial role in vasodilation –
widening these pathways to improve blood, oxygen, and nutrient flow while reducing the strain on the heart.
Dietary nitrates, found in leafy greens, beetroot, or supplements like Berkeley Life, support your body’s ability
to produce Nitric Oxide throughout your life.
- – 10% Decrease In Blood Pressure in 90 Days
- – 28% Increase In Circulation in 90 Days
- – Up to 20% Reduction in Inflammatory Blood Markers
- – Sustain N.O. Levels for 24 Hours

How Nitric Oxide Supports Whole-Body Health
In the late 1990s, Nobel-Prize-award-winning research revealed that Nitric Oxide acts as a critical signaling
molecule in the cardiovascular system. This research was only the beginning of a waterfall of research on the
importance of nitrates and Nitric Oxide on total-body health.
From the tops of our heads to the tips of our toes, blood flow is the key to oxygen and nutrient delivery
throughout the body. That’s why restoring and maintaining adequate Nitric Oxide levels in the body is critical.
Without healthy blood flow, our systems and tissues suffer and lose function — putting the body at risk for a
myriad of health problems.
Balanced Biome Starts in your Mouth
The oral microbiome acts as a precursor to the gut microbiome and plays an essential role in the conversion of dietary nitrates to nitrite, a necessary step in the formation of Nitric Oxide in the body.
Unfortunately, many common mouthwashes, toothpastes and poor lifestyle choices indiscriminately eliminate bacteria in the mouth. Rebalancing the oral microbiome is a critical step to full-body health.

Easy Daily Habit
One piece of gum, twice a day is all you need to see improvement in the balance of health-promoting oral biome
Combat Dysbiosis
Reduce the number of acid-producing biome associated with inflammation and disease and rebuild previously hindered helpful bacteria
Boost Nitric Oxide
Production
Once in balance, Nitric Oxide-supporting biome in your mouth will help you make the most out of your daily nitrate intake

Nitrates: The Best Path to Nitric Oxide Support
Backed by peer-reviewed research, Berkeley Life’s nitrate-based formulation offers a clinically supported, reliable alternative to arginine and citrulline supplements by bypassing the declining nitric oxide synthase (NOS) pathway. Using the oral microbiome to convert dietary nitrates—sourced from vegetables like beetroot and supplemented with potassium nitrate—into nitric oxide, it provides consistent support for cardiovascular health, hormone balance, cognitive function, and overall wellness across all ages.
Nitric Oxide Decreases Naturally as We Age
Nitric Oxide production rapidly declines after age 40, and continues to decline. However, dietary nitrates found in foods like beets and leafy greens, and in supplements like Berkeley Life, can help optimize Nitric Oxide production as we age.

Frequently asked questions:
What is the ingredient profile?

Can I take Berkeley Life with other medications?
Berkeley Life is safe, well-tolerated, and has no counter-indications for medications. As always, work with your provider to determine the appropriate combination of medicine and supplementation for you.
What will I feel while using Berkeley Life?
Many users report feeling an increase of energy and focus after taking their first dose. More significant symptom improvement will be felt after weeks of continuous use – including sustained energy, healthy blood pressure, supported brain function, and healthy immune response.
How long do I need to take Berkeley Life before I see results?
Like all supplements, everyone will feel a difference at different speeds. We have some patients who notice a difference right away, and some see benefits after using the product for about a month. However, you can validate that the product is working by using our test strip before and 90 minutes after you supplement.
Is Berkeley Life safe for someone with oxalate sensitivities?
Yes, Berkeley Life is generally safe for individuals with oxalate sensitivities. While oxalate sensitivity affects a small percentage of people (~2%) due to genetic factors limiting their ability to break down oxalates, many can still tolerate small amounts of oxalates with good digestion practices, such as chewing thoroughly, staying hydrated, and possibly using digestive enzyme supplements.
The oxalate content in Berkeley Life’s formula is extremely low—only 0.7 mg per dose, which is less than the oxalates found in a single leaf of spinach. While beetroot is a key ingredient in Berkeley Life for its dietary nitrate content, the amount is not enough to significantly affect even those with oxalate sensitivities
For those managing oxalate sensitivity or kidney stones, it’s important to focus on digestive health and reduce processed foods, sugars, and alcohol rather than strictly eliminating foods or supplements like Berkeley Life. Berkeley Life’s Nitric Oxide Test Strips can also be used to monitor nitric oxide levels and ensure efficacy.
What are Dietary Nitrates?
Take care of your biome and your biome will take care of you. With optimized oral biome balance, you will support your oral health, gut health, and Nitric Oxide conversion. Use the Prebiotic Nitrate Chewing Gum on its own or alongside your daily dose of nitrates from the Berkeley Life Nitric Oxide Foundation supplement.
