See the scientific wording

Nitric oxide acts as a vasodilator and coagulation mediator, which may influence blood flow and clotting processes relevant to COVID-19 pathophysiology.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Nitric oxide and its derivatives containing nasal spray and inhalation therapy for the treatment of COVID-19.

    The study talks about using nitric oxide in a nasal spray for COVID-19 and says it helps widen blood vessels and affects clotting, which matches the claim, so it supports it.
