Key result
Dietary inorganic nitrate supplementation shows potential to partially restore nitric oxide production and improve cardiovascular and physical performance outcomes in middle-aged and older adults.
Why the study?
Aging is associated with loss of nitric oxide synthase functionality and nitric oxide deficiency, prompting examination of dietary inorganic nitrate to restore nitric oxide production and improve cardiovascular and functional outcomes in middle-aged and older adults.
Does dietary inorganic nitrate ingestion improve cardiovascular parameters and physical performance in middle-aged and older adults?
Does dietary inorganic nitrate ingestion improve cardiovascular parameters and physical performance in middle-aged and older adults?
Dietary inorganic nitrate supplementation shows potential as a non-pharmacological strategy to lower resting and exercise-induced blood pressure and improve endothelial function in populations with cardiovascular limitations.

Dietary nitrate may lower SBP and enhance endothelial function in older hypertensives; extends RCT meta-analyses for targeted supplementation in NO-deficient populations.
Benjamim et al. (2025) conducted a review in Cardiovascular and physical performance in middle-aged and older adults. Dietary inorganic nitrate was evaluated.
