1. Importance of nitric oxide
The biological action of nitric oxide is to stifle blood vessels, inhibit adhesion (attachment) and aggregation (blinding) of platelets. It also protects the vessel wall by limiting the influence of free radicals and preventing oxidation of lipids. It is also involved in regulating the functioning of the central nervous system, participating in biological processes that stimulate neurotransmitters and cyclic GMP. It participates in the metabolism of iron and determines the cytotoxic activity of macrophages and their ability to reduce blood parasites. In the context of athletes, modotoxicity can regulate muscle function by increasing the flow of fat, reducing blood pressure, improving the use of mitochondria, and reducing the effects of metabolism.2. The mechanism of action
Until recently, it was thought that the only way to form nitric oxide (NO) was the conversion of arginine into oxidation by NOS enzymes. It is now known that an effective way to increase nitrogen oxide production is to expand the diet with nitrogen-rich products (NO3).3. How much is effective?
Supplementation with a dose of 57 mmoles (~0.1 mmol/kg body weight or 6.412, 8 mg/kg) contributes to an increase in NO2 in the plasma. This amount may result in a decrease in resting pressure and reduced oxygen uptake. This increases efficiency and improves exercise tolerance.4. How long do nitrates work?
The plasma nitrogen peak occurs 23 hours after intake (56 mmoli). It lasts for up to 68 hours and then returns to baseline after a day. Regular supplementation is required to maintain a high NO2 level. The ergogenic effect is observed during 530 minutes of activity (speed and strength sports).
