A PHARMACIST has shared the two products he buys to cure his wife’s cold fingers and toes.
He recommended the trick to everyone for the upcoming winter season.
Phil (@philsmypharmacist) shared the advice with over 1.6 million TikTok followers.
The health and wellness expert explained his wife always gets super cold in the winter.
“Colder than corpse fingers and toes, that’s my wife when she climbs into bed,” he joked.
“And when she gets up in the morning, she’s always cold,” he added.
To fix her problem, Phil picked up two things from his pharmacy that could be sourced anywhere: “First, something that shows it has nitric oxide in it,” he said, holding up a supplement.
While a supplement that is “stimulant-free” is the best way to go, Phil warned it may be hard to find one that’s truly stimulant-free.
“This one has 50 milligrams of caffeine in it and it says it’s stimulant-free,” he explained.
The second thing he purchased was niacin tablets: “You need 25 mg, which causes flushing in the face, as well as the fingers and the toes,” he explained.
With the combination of the two products, the pharmacist explained the blood vessels on the exterior will open up and dilate.
“And then we’re going to flush them — by doing so, if you have low blood pressure, it’s going to drop more,” he said.
Due to this, those with low blood pressure should exercise caution when trying out the trick: “You’re going to want to be real slow and careful with it,” he warned.
“Take a third of the dose it says on here, don’t take the whole thing, you don’t need it at all.”
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on his advice, many thanked him for his expertise.
“Fellow pharmacist here…love your content,” said one supporter.
“Nitric Oxide capsules are widely available without any stimulants. Keep up the great videos!!”
Others suggested more ways to get nitric oxide into the system, naturally: “Beets are an amazing natural way to get nitric oxide!” said one commenter.
