Abstract

Dietary nitrate (NO3-) supplementation increases nitric oxide (NO) availability and can reduce blood pressure and improve exercise performance. While plasma nitrite [NO2-] provides the best marker of NO availability, the use of a tourniquet during blood collection may be problematic due to the established effects of hypoxia on NO metabolism.
