How it works
Dietary nitrates are converted to nitrite then to nitric oxide (NO) in the blood. NO is a potent vasodilator, relaxing arterial smooth muscle and reducing peripheral resistance.
Avoid with PDE-5 inhibitors (e.g. Viagra) — risk of severe hypotension. Effects require regular intake to be maintained.
Dietary changes
Consider speaking to a GP, dietitian, or naturopath before making significant changes to your diet, particularly if you have an existing health condition.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
