No, nitrate are only harmful in high quantities or when ingested in isolation. Therefore, legal limits exist for drinking water and, for example, for nitrite curing salt. However, regular intake of nitrate from plant-based foods is completely safe and promotes health. The nitrite formed by bacteria in saliva reduces pathogens in the mouth and improves circulation through the intestines, decreases rapid fatigue, and has additional positive effects on health.

Even without high temperatures, nitrosamines can form in cured meats (e.g., ham, salami, bacon) – especially due to the acidic pH level in the stomach. These are considered carcinogenic and are associated with cell damage. The highest levels of nitrosamines are produced when grilling and frying cured meats.

Natural nitrate from vegetables is controlled in the body and converted into nitrogen monoxide (NO) without forming nitrosamines. Plant-based nitrate is only slowly converted via the oral flora into nitrite and then into NO, preventing excess accumulation. Vegetables contain vitamin C, polyphenols, and secondary plant compounds that inhibit the formation of nitrosamines.

No, when a lot of nitrate is ingested through vegetables, only a part of it is transferred to the mouth via saliva, while the rest is simply excreted. This is how the body regulates the optimal intake of nitric oxide.

If a portion of PowerPulse is consumed before each meal, it results in faster satiety and automatically increases the protein content of the meal. Protein is digested more slowly and requires about 30% of the energy consumed. This helps to stay fuller for longer and makes it easier to achieve a calorie deficit. It also prevents muscle loss during weight loss.

As age increases, muscle mass steadily declines, a condition known as "sarcopenia": with normal activity, we lose approximately 1% of our muscle mass each year. Additionally, there is a tendency towards overweight, which negatively affects metabolism, blood pressure, joints, and more. Regular protein intake counteracts muscle breakdown; with light activity, lost muscle mass can even be regained. Plant-based nitrate simultaneously lowers blood pressure and enhances performance. Berry extracts contribute to oral health and protect our cells.

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts: The best protein and performance-enhancing plant-based nitrate from Red Beet, complemented by antioxidants and polyphenols that reduce inflammation after exercise.

Young and working professionals who use PowerPulse as a sustainably filling protein source to boost their energy and performance.

Best Ager and Boomers prevent muscle loss with PowerPulse and simultaneously lower or stabilise blood pressure.

The protein drink can assist with weight loss, and the berry extracts protect your cells and help prevent inflammation.

With the OraLactin products, you protect and build up your healthy oral flora; the protein drink provides the nourishment, both in the mouth and in your gut. The plant-based nitrate from the PowerPulse is transported back into the mouth via saliva. Inflammations are reduced and dental plaque is decreased.

The PowerPulse Drink is most effective when consumed before meals and immediately before sports or physical activities. For example, in the morning before breakfast or as a substitute for breakfast. The protein drink provides satiety and gives you energy for the day. It can also be taken in the afternoon before sports or dinner. PowerPulse can thus assist you in healthy weight loss.

Power Pulse combines nitrates from red beet, proteins, and polyphenols from berry extracts into a holistic performance drink. The nitrates are converted into nitrite and subsequently NO (nitric oxide) through the oral microbiome, which can improve vessel dilation, increase blood flow, and positively influence blood pressure. When the oral flora is stabilised by ApaCare OraLactin, the nitrate→nitrite→NO pathway operates significantly more efficiently. Proteins supply and stabilise the muscles, while polyphenols have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, supporting regeneration and performance. Thus, Power Pulse perfectly complements the concept of dental & microbiome care, vascular health, and lifestyle performance.

Yes – Oralactin protects the NO pathway in the mouth, PowerPulse provides the nitrate substrate (plus antioxidants/polyphenols). Together, they create a functional NO system from the mouth to the capillaries.

By promoting NO formation through the additional nitrate source of red beetroot, PowerPulse can contribute to vascular relaxation. Clinical effects vary individually – the overall lifestyle and dietary situation are important.

Typically 60–120 minutes before exertion for the NitratNOPath to take effect. For blood pressure and daily use, a daily intake may also be beneficial (consult a doctor).

Because their dentistry, microbiome, performance & vascular health are approached holistically: enamel protection + microbiome balance + NO nutrition pathway = Dental & System Health.

Power Pulse provides high-quality proteins that cover approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the recommended daily protein intake. These proteins support muscle preservation, promote recovery, and have a satiating effect. As a result, Power Pulse helps to prevent cravings and reduce the desire for sweets. The combination with polyphenols and NO-activating nitrates not only increases energy and vascular health but also makes Power Pulse an ideal companion for weight loss and sugar reduction.
