Potassium Nitrate is the premier form of Nitrate utilization due to several factors. For 1, Potassium Nitrate contains a high percentage of Nitrates in each molecule, unlike other popular Nitrates currently available. This means you need to take less material, to get more Nitrates. In fact, Potassium Nitrate is 61% Nitrate, and only 39% Potassium, so this makes it possible to give you HUGE Nitrate doses, in just a few small pills. Potassium is also used due for its many health benefits such as acting as an electrolyte, enhancing physical performance, and helping to reduce cramping brought on by dehydration from strenuous exercise.
