Doesn't it have an effect on bone density?Or was that some Daily Mail scaremongering I read.

maybe it does, I don't know.I should clarify, I meant Nitric* oxide. I always get the two mixed up. The body uses very small concentrations of it to either dilate or constrict the blood vessels, and I think I'll be looking at it in detail.

apparently NO modulates estrogen's effect on osteoblast activity.at least in rats. Says pubmed.
However that's nitric, not nitrous oxide, and I would assume the take-home from that is that NO might be able to control bone loss associated with the menopause. Which is pretty much the exact opposite of what you reckon the Mail said, so no surprise there from the shitrag.
