Ingredient

Dietary Nitrate

Research dose

310–560 mg

Evidence: Moderate Taken before training: what counts is the amount in the serving you take.

The IOC consensus: benefits are generally seen 2–3 hours after 5–9 mmol (310–560 mg) of nitrate, with no extra benefit from about 1 g over about 0.5 g, and gains are harder to get in highly trained athletes.
