  1. Potassium nitrate decreases blood pressure in humans (systolic -4·8 mmHg (-3·5 %, P = 0·024) and diastolic -5·4 mmHg (-6·5 %, P = 0·007)).

    “only KNO3 (at 240-300 min post-intake) significantly decreased systolic (-4·8 mmHg, -3·5 %, P = 0·024) and diastolic (-5·4 mmHg, -6·5 %, P = 0·007) BP in older participants.”
