What does the science recommend as the max daily intake of nitrates?
Is my math wrong? I've seen studies use similar and higher doses of nitrates. Granted, it wasn't with other ingredients really.
Edit: A different study says that 3g creatine nitrate yields 1g nitrate, which would mean that 2g would yield 667mg nitrates. Plus 180mg from the potassium nitrate gives you 847mg nitrates.
Perhaps just don't go too overboard with the nitrate dose:

a scoop of MaxREPS is to much for some...
Can't go wrong, the only formula formulated with amounts reflected in the Published literature....Price is insanely good and if you don't like we'll give your money back,,,
I'd aim for at least 400mg, and not more than 1000mg.in terms of diminishing returns above 500mgs...
Creatine and agmatine and aakg and arginine maybe some norvaline or yohimbine for that real extreme pump
I buy separate **** it's cheaper and more efficient
theres much better stuff out there than that list
I buy separate **** it's cheaper and more efficient
Not quite sure what you mean here. There are multiple studies showing benefits (endurance, blood flow, performance, etc) with nitrates from various sources (creatine nitrate, beetroot, etc). If you dose it properly (at least 400mg nitrates), you'll get the benefits of nitrates.Only nitrates that work are for blood pressure bro rx stuff
Like what other then one ingredient I left out with is citrulline and by the way plant nitrates aren't nitrates I work in a pharmacy it's literally a marketing scheme

Citrullineglycerol, taurine in addition to citrulline, and nitrates work just fine.....you can throw out arginine and norvaline, they are pointless
or not...

Ingestion of dietary (inorganic) nitrate elevates circulating and tissue levels of nitrite via bioconversion in the entero-salivary circulation. In addition, nitrite is a potent vasodilator in humans, an effect thought to underlie the blood pressure–lowering effects of dietary nitrate (in the form of beetroot juice) ingestion. Whether inorganic nitrate underlies these effects and whether the effects of either naturally occurring dietary nitrate or inorganic nitrate supplementation are dose dependent remain uncertain. Using a randomized crossover study design, we show that nitrate supplementation (KNO3 capsules: 4 versus 12 mmol [n=6] or 24 mmol of KNO3 (1488 mg of nitrate) versus 24 mmol of KCl [n=20]) or vegetable intake (250 mL of beetroot juice [5.5 mmol nitrate] versus 250 mL of water [n=9]) causes dose-dependent elevation in plasma nitrite concentration and elevation of cGMP concentration with a consequent decrease in blood pressure in healthy volunteers. In addition, post hoc analysis demonstrates a sex difference in sensitivity to nitrate supplementation dependent on resting baseline blood pressure and plasma nitrite concentration, whereby blood pressure is decreased in male volunteers, with higher baseline blood pressure and lower plasma nitrite concentration but not in female volunteers. Our findings demonstrate dose-dependent decreases in blood pressure and vasoprotection after inorganic nitrate ingestion in the form of either supplementation or by dietary elevation. In addition, our post hoc analyses intimate sex differences in nitrate processing involving the entero-salivary circulation that are likely to be major contributing factors to the lower blood pressures and the vasoprotective phenotype of premenopausal women.
Have you not read the study I referenced earlier?When a supplement says nitrate it means nothing
That's creatine nitrate, and it increased plasma nitrates...In Study 2, there was a significant increase in plasma nitrates for both CrN groups by d-7, subsequently abating by d-28. Muscle creatine increased significantly by d-7 in the CrM and CrN-High groups, but then decreased by d-28 for CrN-High. By d-28, there were significant increases in bench press lifting volume (kg) for all groups (PLA, 126.6, 95 % CI 26.3, 226.8; CrM, 194.1, 95 % CI 89.0, 299.2; CrN-Low, 118.3, 95 % CI 26.1, 210.5; CrN-High, 267.2, 95 % CI 175.0, 359.4, kg). Only the CrN-High group was significantly greater than PLA (p < 0.05). Similar findings were observed for bench press peak power (PLA, 59.0, 95 % CI 4.5, 113.4; CrM, 68.6, 95 % CI 11.4, 125.8; CrN-Low, 40.9, 95 % CI −9.2, 91.0; CrN-High, 60.9, 95 % CI 10.8, 111.1, W) and average power.
Did you even read the study? Both doses of creatine nitrate increased serum nitrates, and the high dose of creatine nitrate improved performance to a greater extent than the lower dose, just creatine (actually a higher dose of creatine) and placebo...It pretty much increased his Creatine in his blood plasma but that's it no nitrates were involved except the name of the supplement lol
You do know that CEE has been shown to be completely useless...And yes Creatine works but it has no difference from nitrate to ethyl Ester or even oral solution
Neither am I.I'm not a bro science type of guy either so![]()
Neither am I.
I can show you studies showing CEE is useless, and that OTC nitrate supplementation can provide ergogenic benefits.
Here you go my friend:I'm not a bro science type of guy either so

This study demonstrates that nitrate supplementation has the potential to improve resistance training performance and work output compared to a placebo.
Invalid Link RemovedDiets rich in fruits and vegetables reduce blood pressure (BP) and the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. However, the mechanisms of this effect have not been elucidated. Certain vegetables possess a high nitrate content, and we hypothesized that this might represent a source of vasoprotective nitric oxide via bioactivation. In healthy volunteers, approximately 3 hours after ingestion of a dietary nitrate load (beetroot juice 500 mL), BP was substantially reduced (Delta(max) -10.4/8 mm Hg); an effect that correlated with peak increases in plasma nitrite concentration. The dietary nitrate load also prevented endothelial dysfunction induced by an acute ischemic insult in the human forearm and significantly attenuated ex vivo platelet aggregation in response to collagen and ADP. Interruption of the enterosalivary conversion of nitrate to nitrite (facilitated by bacterial anaerobes situated on the surface of the tongue) prevented the rise in plasma nitrite, blocked the decrease in BP, and abolished the inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation, confirming that these vasoprotective effects were attributable to the activity of nitrite converted from the ingested nitrate. These findings suggest that dietary nitrate underlies the beneficial effects of a vegetable-rich diet and highlights the potential of a "natural" low cost approach for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
And I'd like to see a pharmaceutical study restating the cee being useless I remember loving it just the same as mono your studies your seeing are prob not gov regulated and a couple of dudes with a lab lol don't kid yourself brotha

Invalid Link RemovedIn conclusion, when compared to creatine monohydrate, creatine ethyl ester was not as effective at increasing serum and muscle creatine levels or in improving body composition, muscle mass, strength, and power.
Invalid Link RemovedCEE , but not CM, is converted into creatinine in the gastrointestinal tract. As a result the use of CEE may be associated with elevated plasma creatinine levels.
Invalid Link RemovedThis study demonstrates that mild non-enzymatic conditions are sufficient for the cyclization of creatine ethyl ester into creatinine, and together with previous results obtained under enzymatic conditions suggests that there are no physiological conditions that would result in the production of creatine. It is concluded that creatine ethyl ester is a pronutrient for creatinine rather than creatine under all physiological conditions encountered during transit through the various tissues, thus no ergogenic effect is to be expected from supplementation.
Invalid Link RemovedThis study indicates that the half-life of CEE in blood is on the order of one minute, suggesting that CEE may hydrolyze too quickly to reach muscle cells in its ester form.
If it was possible we would have capsulised nitric oxide by now

Did you read the 3 studies (all NCBI) that found nitrate supplementation (from various sources, including creatine nitrate, beetroot, etc) were effective in tested parameters, including plasma nitrate, endurance, and blood pressure reduction?Go ask your pharmacist man lol hell even tell u it's all bull**** arginine is the same as the nitrate version same with Creatine bro it never turns into something different in your system there for it never achieve molecularity into a nitrate it's literally impossible
Hey brotha want a sick pump get down to 4% bf and weigh about 195 at 5'7 boom veiny as **** lol
