The Probiotic <i>Streptococcus salivarius</i> M18 Increases Plasma Nitrite but Does Not Alter Blood Pressure: A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial

Some species of oral bacteria can reduce dietary nitrate to nitrite, which can later be converted to nitric oxide in the nitrate—nitrite—nitic oxide pathway. Increasing nitric oxide availability can reduce blood pressure (BP) and improve exercise performance. <i>Streptococcus salivarius</i&...
