Is the nitric oxide in the beet too bad? I never realized some negative effect drinking beet juice, but I know it may have problems with the nitric oxide consumption. So, is it really so bad?

this is something that really gets me lost. If I am unable to reach a conclusion, I will continue to consume beets (without excesses). Thanks for the replyBeets and Arugala are a good source of Nitrate... I use Citrulline for monster erections, so I don’t care if NO is demonized on here

I'm not an expert on this stuff but I have read that there are different types of nitric oxide and, as others have mentioned, not all of it is bad. Below is one explanation of the difference from member Hans. If you search the forum, I believe this has also been discussed in some other threads.
There are about 3 enzymes that our bodies can create NO; inducible NOS, neuronal NOS and endothelial NOS.
iNOS is induced by bacterial infections, endotoxins and other foreign invaders and iNOS creates about 1000 times more NO than eNOS.
eNOS creates enough NO for optimal vascular health.
So in essence, iNOS creates pathological amounts of NO, whereas eNOS creates necessary amounts of NO.
NO in excess can cause oxidative stress in the body, DNA damage and lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which propagate via peroxyl radicals (ROO•) within the membrane, as well as in the low-density lipoproteins (LDL).
If iNOS is low and eNOS is optimal, you should have non-harmful amounts of NO.
The body can also make NO from nitrates in food, but research shows that the boost in NO, induced by veggies (which is about 2-3 fold), does not cause oxidative stress as there are anti-oxidant compounds in the veggies that protect the body against the mild increase in NO.
So beetroot juice or spinach, etc, should not be an issue, although pure arginine might be an issue.
Additionally, excess NO inhibits mitochondrial function which increases the production of the free radical superoxide. NO reacts with superoxide to create peroxynitrate. Peroxynitrate uncouples eNOS, to start creating superoxide instead of NO, thus leading to more oxidative damage and potentially hypertension.
I think it's because it's something that shows up when the body is under stress (like when we're attacked by pathogens). NO will help deal with that attack. To me it's one of those 'do you blame the fireman, or the fire?' scenarios. Same is true with cholesterol and copper IMO.
How much do you takeBeets and Arugala are a good source of Nitrate... I use Citrulline for monster erections, so I don’t care if NO is demonized on here
When I was taking it, I preferred the powders, I’ve tried the Malate and the one made via fermentation.... 2-4 grams helpsHow much do you take
supplementing vitamin d3 is really helping me.Does anyone know Haidut recommendations fro gallbladder health? purchased beet green supplement, but after viewing Roddy/Geogie interview on nitric oxide i have stopped.
TUDCA is also very goodDoes anyone know Haidut recommendations fro gallbladder health? purchased beet green supplement, but after viewing Roddy/Geogie interview on nitric oxide i have stopped.
