Potassium nitrate
Nitrates are found in a variety of vegetables and in especially high amounts in spinach and red beetroot. Supplementing with nitrates may be reduced to nitric oxide (NO)

Ingredient Benefits
Supports nitric oxide production
Nitric oxide improves blood vessel function and blood flow by dilating blood vessels and improving their flexibility – potassium nitrate supports the production of this important nutrient.
Provides cardiovascular support
A multitude of studies have shown that high nitrate and nitrite levels in the blood correlate with a reduction of blood pressure as well as other health benefits.
Enhances physical performance
Nitrate supplementation is likely to improve exercise tolerance and capacity which may improve exercise performance due to the increased nitric oxide production. Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator and increases blood flow, enhancing repair and the inflow of nutrients and oxygen to all areas of the body especially during activity.
Potassium nitrate boosts your body’s nitric oxide levels, it does it quickly and in both high and low oxygen conditions, unlike other methods such as L-arginine.
Up until 1980 most scientists thought that NO was generated from the amino acid L-arginine and was dependent on various enzymes requiring plenty of oxygen. Researchers quickly showed that NO could be made from an alternate pathway not requiring arginine or oxygen. This reduction pathway from nitrate—> nitrite—> NO is an evolutionary mechanism as a backup in times of oxygen deficiency which can occur in various respiratory conditions.
