Why a precise dose of dietary nitrate is one of the most evidence-backed levers an athlete can pull.
Why nitrates matter
Three pillars of performance.
01
Lower oxygen cost
Nitric oxide improves efficiency, so muscles require less oxygen to produce the same power.
02
Delayed fatigue
Better oxygen delivery and lower ATP cost slow the onset of fatigue under sustained effort.
03
Sustained power
Improved blood flow and contractile efficiency help maintain output deep into training and competition.
The research
Backed by human performance science.
Dietary nitrate is one of the most studied ergogenic aids in sport. Six peer-reviewed human studies — and exactly what each one supports.
This review synthesizes research on inorganic nitrate and exercise, showing that nitrate converts to nitrite and nitric oxide in humans and is associated with improved blood flow and performance outcomes in various exercise modalities — particularly endurance-related efforts
This controlled human trial found dietary nitrate intake lowered the oxygen requirement during submaximal exercise and increased time to exhaustion, indicating improved oxygen efficiency and endurance.
A systematic review and meta-analysis showing nitrate supplementation improved performance-related outcomes in endurance sports — including reductions in oxygen cost and increases in time to exhaustion and power output across multiple studies.
Supports: Works when oxygen is limited
This meta-analysis found that nitrate supplementation had positive effects on performance outcomes such as peak power and total distance covered in high-intensity exercise efforts; effects vary by duration and dosing.
This article summarizes findings from a peer-reviewed human study investigating the effects of dietary nitrate supplementation on performance in repeated high-intensity intermittent exercise.
This paper details mechanisms by which nitrate intake influences skeletal muscle, blood vessels, and mitochondrial respiration, potentially reducing ATP cost of contraction and oxygen consumption during exercise.

The edge
Hold your output when others can't.
Every athlete hits a wall — output drops the longer the effort drags on. PREVAIL's standardized nitrate system improves how efficiently your body uses oxygen, so you sustain more power, longer, and recover faster between efforts. That's the difference between falling off and finishing.
