Amaranth: The only grain with meaningful nitrate content for sports performance
from NutraSift: The nutraceutical innovation podcast · host Siftlink SA
Amaranth leaves contain high levels of inorganic nitrate, the same compound found in beetroot that converts to nitric oxide for vasodilation and athletic performance. But unlike beetroot (a root vegetable), amaranth is a complete protein source AND a nitrate source. Arjuna Natural's Oxystorm positions amaranth leaf extract as a nitric oxide ingredient, an entirely different market than "ancient grain."Publications of interest:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7359009/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27131407/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5969023/
