1. The mechanism of action
Accepted NO3 from the oxygen-free bacteria in the oral cavity is converted to nitrogen (NO2). The rest travels to the muscles, where it is reduced from NO2 to NO in a lower pH environment. Until recently, it was thought that the only way nitrogen oxide (NO) is formed is by the conversion of arginine into oxidation by NOS enzymes.2. How much is effective?
To deliver 57 mmol nitrate, 0.5 litres of beet juice should be consumed. Efficiency improvements can be observed after 26 days of nitrate intake (> 15). This can result in decreased resting pressure and reduced oxygen uptake.3. How long do nitrates work?
Regular supplementation is required to maintain a high NO2 level. The beneficial effects of nitrogen supplementation in prolonged training have not yet been confirmed. Do not brush your teeth before taking nitrates. The plasma peak of nitrates occurs 23 hours after taking (56 mmoli). The ergogenic effect is observed during 530 minutes of activity (speed and strength sports). However, in the literature we can find studies confirming an improvement in performance in high-intensity intermittent sports (football).
