Bottom line: The study at hand confirms that the
assumption that more helps more rarely applies, when the thing you could take /
have / ingest more of are dietary supplements. Rather than taking more, you
should thus make sure to get the timing right - 2.5h before the workout(!),
that's when you want to take your nitrate supplements or drink your beet root
juice.
In this
context, it's worth mentioning that timing, as well as the speed of absorption
(see info box to the right) are probably less important, if you are looking for
the recently confirmed beneficial effects of nitrite, as well as dietary
nitrate, on arterial aging and prevention of age-associated CVD in humans
(Sindler. 2014), I discussed in the info-box "Nitrates for your
heart".
