The disclosure is also directed to related compositions comprising elemental metal and a source of nitrate anion (NO<3->).

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit and priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 62 / 800,361, filed February 1, 2019, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application 62 / 866,540, filed June 25, 2019, the entire disclosures of which are herein Incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] Applicants found in 2007 that application of nitrates (NO 3 - , also described herein as the nitrate anion) can enhance athletic performance, increase blood flow, and improve vasodilation. Since Applicant's discovery, the research community has discovered many benefits of these inorganic nitrates, such as improved exercise fatigue, increased time to failure, reduced oxygen consumption during exercise, reduced susceptibility to metabolic stress-related diseases Oxygen consumption, improved glucose metabolism disturbances, decreased body fat percentage (thus helping to reduce the likelihood of developing obesity and pre-obesity)...
