I took beetroot as a supplement, it worked well. Ginkgo Biloba also increases nitric oxide.

I've had negative effects from strong antioxidant supplements before. I think there could be a lot of reasons why.

What kind of negative effects? Cognitive ones?

It felt like I had had too much sugar (inflammation).

I was comparing various ways of boosting my nitric oxide at the time. I could see it visibly (increased red complexion) and my cognition also improved. Subjective, yes, but that was good enough.

Combined flushing niacin with beetroot did wonders for me.
