Fermented Beets & Red Spinach

Dr. Mercola’s fermented beets and red spinach

Dr. Mercola’s 'Fermented Beets and Red Spinach' is a powerful nutritional supplement for people looking to boost their nitric oxide levels.

The fermented beets with red spinach provide a standardized dose of 30 mg of red spinach nitrates; also called Chinese spinach or amaranth. The addition of specially fermented beet powder provides an excellent additional source of vegetable nitrates - without the high sugar content of the normal beet powder.

Nitrate and nitrite

Nitrate and nitrite levels in the blood do not increase very rapidly when eating a nitrate diet, but after consuming various concentrates containing high levels of nitrate, nitrate and nitrite levels in the blood increase significantly faster. The increase of nitrite in the blood produces more nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is said to have a potentially beneficial effect on various body functions and performance.

Since the 1980s it has been known that nitrate is converted into nitrite in the human body. Nitrate from the diet is absorbed by the body. Bacteria in the oral cavity convert the nitrate present in the saliva via the plasma into nitrite.
