Shop BrothThe Science
From beet nitrates to nitric oxide advantage.
Dietary nitrates concentrate in saliva where oral bacteria convert them to nitrite. Once in circulation, nitrite transforms into nitric oxide, widening blood vessels, improving oxygen delivery, and boosting muscular efficiency.
- Proven improvements in time-to-exhaustion and power output.
- Optimal dosing: 6–12 mmol (372–744 mg) 2–3 hours pre-effort.
- Maintain oral microbiome health—skip antibacterial mouthwash pre-session.
