@DavidPS How about thyroid
-
Good peaty substitutes for the nitrates are baking soda, thiamine, maybe Acetazolamide.
CO2 pumps > NO pumps.Is beta-alanine peaty though?

@Sugarnotsnow - Thyroid is too controversial.

@DavidPS I see, thank you

@pannacottas - they limited the list to 5 supplements. Baking soda would have been on my top 5 list since it is used by sprinters. Thiamine is also good. Acetazolamide is also a good suggestion but it is a drug and not an over-the-counter supplement.

I could not find anything written or spoken by Dr. Peat about beta-alanine.
Some people on the RPF think it may deplete taurine.

The key point, of course, is about training. Sport supplements may modulate performance metrics, so to speak, but only in the presence of a supportive lifestyle. Consider the ancients,
"According to ancient sources, Milo of Croton’s diet consisted of a whopping twenty pounds of bread, another twenty pounds of meat, and eighteen pints of wine a day."
Here was one of the most legendary Olympians of all time. He never thought about his creatine or beta-alanine intake. Much supplement talk has become a kind of entertainment food hobbyism.

Nitrates
Hmm...
Peatbot: Based on the context provided, nitrates are not considered healthy. They can form nitrosamines, which are powerful carcinogens, especially when nitrates react with amino acids in the stomach or during the cooking process. These nitrosamines are also found in cigarette smoke and are a major carcinogen. Additionally, consuming nitrates, whether from processed meats or industrially produced vegetables, can lead to increased levels of nitric oxide in the body, which can block the ability to use oxygen effectively and weaken the body's ability to resist stress. This can be particularly harmful as it mimics a shock state and can contribute to various health issues, including cardiovascular problems and atrophy of the testicles.

@DavidPS the taurine depletion studies on beta alanine were done at ridiculous doses, apparently.
