How to Build a Nitric Oxide Powder Into Your Day

The seller recommends three to six months of consistent use, so the hardest part of any daily supplement is remembering it. Here's how to make a single scoop of Nitric Boost Ultra automatic.

Stack it onto a habit you already have

Pair your scoop with something you do every day without thinking: the morning kettle, your pre-workout shake or the 3 pm break. Keep the jar where that habit happens, so you see it every time.

Mixing ideas

• Water: the simplest option, following the seller's directions of one scoop with a glass of water.
• Smoothie: berries, a banana and a handful of spinach add more dietary nitrate.
• Tea: the seller lists tea as an option. Let very hot drinks cool a little first.

Pick a time and keep it

The directions don't set a time of day. Training days are a natural cue, and many people take it a couple of hours before a session. On rest days, keep the same time anyway.

Track three things

For the first eight weeks, rate your energy, workouts and sleep from 1 to 5 once a week. That's all. It gives you something objective to look at before the seller's 60-day guarantee window closes.

Don't do this

• Don't take more than one serving to "catch up" on missed days.
• Don't stop or change prescribed medicine because you've started a supplement.
• Don't let a supplement replace exercise, vegetables or sleep.
