Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Semisolid supplement compositions are disclosed comprising at least one non-ester nitrate compound and at least one isolated amino acid compound. The at least one isolated amino acid compound is a separate compound than the at least one non-ester nitrate compound. The composition contains at least about 0.05625 mg nitrate ion (NO 3 − ).

First claim

The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Creatine and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is least about 5 mg. 7 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Citrulline and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is least about 5 mg. 8 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Creatine and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is least about 10 mg. 9 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Citrulline and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is least about 10 mg. 10 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Creatine and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is least about 20 mg. 11 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Citrulline and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is least about 20 mg. 12 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Creatine and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is about 0.33125 mg to no more than about 31.6 mg of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ). 13 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Citrulline and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is about 0.33125 mg to no more than about 31.6 mg of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ). 14 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Creatine and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is about 1 mg to no more than about 31.6 mg of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ). 15 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Citrulline and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is about 1 mg to no more than about 31.6 mg of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ). 16 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Creatine and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is about 5 mg to no more than about 31.6 mg of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ). 17 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Citrulline and the amount of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ) is about 5 mg to no more than about 31.6 mg of nitrate ion (NO 3 − ). 18 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Creatine and the semisolid supplement composition comprises one or more of the following: beetroot, spinach, and rocket. 19 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated amino acid compound is Citrulline and the semisolid supplement composition comprises one or more of the following: beetroot, spinach, and rocket. 20 .
