Berkeley Test shows saliva nitrite levels which is proven to be an effective indicator of nitric oxide levels. After consuming dietary nitrate in the form of leafy green vegetables or equivalent supplementation, nitrates are absorbed into the bloodstream and concentrated in the saliva glands by way of the enterosalivary pathway.

From here the oral microbiome breaks the nitrate down into nitrite. This saliva is then swallowed and converted into nitric oxide in the stomach or where it is needed most in the body.

Elements which can affect results seen on the test strips:

Use of an anti-bacterial mouthwash or strong anti-biotics can both affect the oral microbiome which breaks down the nitrate.
A poor source of dietary nitrates. The potency varies widely from product to product and the test strips are helpful in validating effectiveness.
