Vitamin C boosts nitrate levels, impacting heart health in Tehran.
The study looked at how the intake of dietary nitrate and nitrite, along with vitamin C, affects the levels of nitrate and nitrite in urine and blood. The researchers found that higher dietary nitrate and nitrite intake was linked to lower levels of these compounds in urine and blood. Additionally, vitamin C seemed to play a role in this interaction. This suggests that what we eat can impact the levels of these compounds in our bodies.
