Overview

Systematic review shows inorganic nitrate improves endothelial function in patients, indicating cardiovascular benefits.

Key Points

  • Inorganic nitrate was found to improve endothelial function by over 1%, which is significant for cardiovascular health.
  • The meta-analysis included 13 studies assessing flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) as a measure of endothelial function.
  • Acute nitrate consumption led to a greater improvement in FMD (1.93%) compared to chronic use (0.90%).
  • Most studies showed low risk of bias, reinforcing the reliability of findings on inorganic nitrate's effects.
