Summary

Red Spinach is a natural food which is a rich source of nitrates, which are beneficial in hemodynamics, cardiovascular function, and have natural hypotensive and antianginal effects . In recent research, Red spinach extract has been shown to be beneficial in acute exercise performance. However, currently it is unclear how these acute increases in performance may translate to long term training adaptations.
