WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF NITRIC ACID ON THE BODY

# data[].attributes.body
REDUCES FATIGUE
Prevents fatigue during workouts as it promotes more oxygen to the tissues reducing the amount of lactic acid build up.

INCREASED RECOVERY RATES
As nitric acid helps support the amount of blood flow to the tissues and encourages the smooth muscles to relax more oxygen delivery is allowed to the working muscles therefore it promotes a speedy recovery.

ENHANCED ENDURANCE
As endurance performance depends on the amount of oxygen getting to the muscle tissues, blood flow delivering oxygen will help you work longer without tiring out.

INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF ENERGY
Blood flow enables you to better maintain your core temperature balance. When body temperature rises significantly during a hard workout session, the body will try its best to cool the tissues so that overheating doesn't occur. With good blood flow this process is made easier, so less energy will be directed to accomplish this goal leaving more energy to complete your workouts with.

INCREASED GLUCOSE USE
Causes a higher glucose rate of appearance, glucose rate of disappearance, and glucose clearance rate. This demonstrates that nitric acid causes athletes to take up glucose faster into the muscle cells while exercising. It also supports the increase of nonesterified fatty acid concentration as well as glycerol in the body potentially pointing to the burning up of fat as fuel.

Nitric oxide is a gas that when produced causes the smooth muscles of the vascular system to relax. The relaxing of the smooth muscles allow the blood vessels to widen. This supports optimal blood flow to and from tissues which carries muscle fueling oxygen and key exercising sustaining nutrients like glucose, and anti-oxidants
