So nutritionally we should be looking at things needed to stimulate the NOS gene (NOS1, NOS2, NOS3):
NOS2 cofactors are; Heme, FAD, FMN, and BH4
Zinc - It helps make BH4 through the GCH1 and PTS enzymes from GTP.
Riboflavin - it is the precursor for FMN and FAD. Notably zinc is needed to turn riboflavin into FMD and FAD.
B6 (P5P) - Needed for Heme synthesis.
Beets - The nitrates are turned into NO in the gut.
Black Tea - Shown to increase NO. And shown to inhibit SARS: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1142193/
Vitamin C - Helps protect BH4
But it is for certain another reason to examine zinc in health outcomes from SARS infection. The metal binding site of NOS is zinc also so...
