A new study finds a surprising link between the rinse and nitric oxide—so nitrate supplements like beet juice may be affected, too.
It’s also likely that the mouthwash can mess with your performance goals due to the same mechanism at hand. Here’s what you need to know.Researchers had 23 healthy men and women perform two 30-minute treadmill tests. During the first session, the volunteers performed the run and then rinsed their mouths with either an antibacterial mouthwash or an inactive, mint-flavored rinse. For the second session, they repeated the treadmill test, switching which mouthwash they used.
Not only were the blood pressure-lowering effects diminished by more than 60 percent during the first hour when the volunteers used they antibacterial mouthwash, but also they completely disappeared after two hours. Think of the bugs in your mouth as the “key” to opening up the blood vessels, study coauthor Craig Cutler said in a. Without them, your body can’t produce the nitrite it needs to relax your blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
“The mouthwash will lower the ability of bacteria to convert nitrate into nitrite. This has been shown by previous studies,” Bescós said.As to whether mouthwash can interfere with your actual exercise performance, the researchers say more work is needed.
