“the nitrates you know are something that's found in plants they're in vegetables they're in Greens they're you know all over in nature they can also be converted into um nitrites and then ultimately n amines however vitamin C prevents the conversion so vitamin C is also found in plants so packaged together so that's why when you eat you know a lot of plants or like beets have a lot of nitrates you know beet beetroot juice extract is high in nitrates but it's also high in vitamin C and when you have the vitamin C there it converts the nitrates into nitric oxide”
