Czech Virus Nitro Virus 200 capsules Products with nitrates are not new in our portfolio (however, we are still the only one in the Czech Republic brand that works with beet nitrates), but what makes Nitro Virus nitrates unique is their standardization. Until now, it was common to find standardization to 1.5 to 2% nitrate in high quality extracts. Nitro Virus contains beetroot extract with 10% (!!!) nitrates. Thus, in 1 capsule (500 mg of beetroot extract) you will find 50 mg of pure nitrates, which have an effect on muscle pumping and endurance. Below we describe the points why it is advisable to take the product and what are its benefits. What are nitrates? Nitrates are part of green leafy vegetables and are among the substances that help with "muscle pumping" (i.e. improve blood flow, dilate blood vessels, etc.). The best source of these nitrates then is beetroot. Supplementation with nitrates (from capsules or beet juice) increases muscle endurance and reduces muscle fatigue, according to several studies. So Nitro Virus is not only for pumping up your muscles, but also for improving their endurance and delaying fatigue. Impact on sports performance. As is generally known, during heavy training the body uses its maximum capacity of oxygen consumption. According to a study (Larsen et al., 2010), nitrates reduce this maximal oxygen consumption capacity without affecting the exhaustion time. Therefore, it was concluded that there is a correlation between the change in time to exhaustion and the change in maximal oxygen consumptionoxygen consumption, which can be attributed mainly to the use of large amounts of muscle mass during exercise. Mechanism of action of nitrates. Inorganic nitrate (NO3-) is found in beetroot (and other green leafy vegetables), which in humans is converted to nitrite (NO2-) and circulates in the blood after ingestion. When oxygen is limited, NO2- is then converted by the body into nitric oxide (NO), a molecule that plays an important role in the vascular system. Natural vs synthetic. Nitrates can be obtained from natural sources (e.g. beetroot) or synthetically. There are several negative messages circulating about synthetic nitrates, be it increased toxicity (Mayo Clinic) or the potential threat of cancer (but this is mostly associated with nitrites rather than nitrates). Natural beetroot nitrates have no toxicity or other risk. Benefits of nitrates. Beetroot nitrates offer a multitude of benefits, whether for athletic performance or health. Studies show that nitrates have the ability to strongly regulate blood flow and vasodilation through their metabolite nitric oxide. When it comes to cardiovascular health, they seem to lower blood pressure in cases where blood pressure is elevated. This appears to occur in people with hypertension and may also occur in otherwise healthy persons undergoing exercise with little effect on resting blood pressure. Nitrates may induce endothelial protective effects and are thought to be a link between vegetable intake and cardiovascular health. Recommended Dosage Basic - 1 capsule Advanced - 4 capsules Hardcore - 8 capsules Take capsules approximately 30 minutes prior to physical activity with plenty of water. WARNING: Do not use mouthwash (e.g. Listerine) which kills good bacteria in the mouth and very negatively affects the effect of nitrates!
