Nitrate and nitrite

After consumption of nitrate-rich food, nitrate and nitrite concentrations in the body increase. Consumption of various concentrates that contain a lot of nitrate, such as this Dr. Mercola formula, very significantly increase nitrate and nitrite levels. The increase in nitrite causes the formation of more nitric oxide (NO) which plays an important role in various bodily processes and functions.

Red spinach extract is free of oxalate and GMO

The red spinach extract in this Fermented Beetroot with Red Spinach formula is not genetically modified or engineered. The product does not contain oxalate, a substance that causes problems when consuming large quantities of fresh spinach, beets and chard. The extract contains potassium. It does not contain sugar or gluten. Red spinach, or amaranth, is not new. It is traditionally used in Indian cuisine and Ayurveda.

The benefits of fermentation

Dr. Mercola has extensive experience working with fermented ingredients. Fermentation optimizes the benefits of a plant substance and changes its nutritional value. For example, fermentation helps to pre-convert ingredients, increase the level of selected nutrients, improve the bio-accessibility of minerals, increase the bioavailability of antioxidants and to create unique metabolites.
