Dietary nitrate becomes nitric oxide; human trials show reproducible gains in blood pressure and vessel dilation.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
Its nitrate becomes nitric oxide, widening the vessels that feed working muscle; each effort costs less oxygen.
Dietary nitrate, pooled across human trials: better vessel dilation and nitric oxide availability.
Across randomized trials, dietary nitrate lowered gum inflammation and shifted the mouth’s bacteria toward nitrate-reducing kinds.
Dietary nitrate raises circulating nitrite through the entero-salivary pathway and improves flow-mediated dilation, the ultrasound measure of endothelium-dependent vasodilation.
