Some time ago I read the book Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition by Anita Bean, which does also emphasize on not using antibacterial mouthwash since it removes the beneficial bacteria in the mouth which convert nitrate to nitrite. I‘m drinking beetroot juice since 3 years now and asked myself if beetroot capsules might be an alternative.

You could also make Borscht with good quality beef for a balanced, healthy meal. It's the best.

How would capsules affect the mouth biome, though?

  Not sure, probably it doesn’t - in this regard the capsules might just be snake oil if they are not good in any other way

For people who don't like drinking beetroot juice, you can also regularly (French) kiss with people with healthy oral microbiomes [0][1]. Best to really get in there.

  Ok but what happens when unhealthy kisses healthy? Does it balance out? If it's not risky, I'm about to embark on a mission.

I recommend using a mouthwash based on xylitol which kills strains like streptococcus mutans but does not impair these nitrate reducers.

  Erythritol and Xylitol do have a strong correlation with severe coronary diseases and risk of strokes under certain preconditions according to newer studies though. Also not really advisable for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

    That’s for actually eating 10-15 grams. Can’t speak for IBS, ymmv there, but similarly you are rinsing and spitting, basically just microdosing.

Have you considered L-Citrulline as an alternative to Beet Root? There is a great YouTube video on DAOC with Dr Bryant. You might enjoy it. https://youtu.be/zECoaEZRRFU?si=IRpX9Tn6tYOH_LTs https://youtu.be/zECoaEZRRFU?si=IRpX9Tn6tYOH_LTs
