Nitric Boost Ultra Ingredients Explained
Last updated: October 6, 2026
This page explains each of the eight ingredients the seller lists for Nitric Boost Ultra. It refers to the powder sold through the official BuyGoods order page. Another company sells a different product under a similar name, and some websites list ingredients that do not match this one.
The ingredient list
| Ingredient | Type | Role in the formula |
|---|---|---|
| Beet root powder | Vegetable powder | Source of dietary nitrate |
| L-arginine | Amino acid | Direct building block of nitric oxide |
| L-citrulline DL-malate | Amino acid compound | Converts to arginine in the body |
| Niacin (vitamin B3) | Vitamin | Energy metabolism |
| Horny goat weed | Herb | Traditional vitality herb |
| Ginkgo biloba powder | Herb | Traditional circulation herb |
| Dong quai | Herb | Traditional circulation herb |
| D-aspartic acid | Amino acid | Hormone signalling |
The seller does not publish the amount of each ingredient on its website. One serving is one scoop, and a jar contains 30 servings. Exact amounts should be on the Supplement Facts panel of the jar.
The nitric oxide core
Beet root powder
Beets are rich in nitrate. Bacteria in the mouth and enzymes in the body convert nitrate into nitrite and then into nitric oxide. Studies of beetroot juice have generally shown better endurance and a modest drop in blood pressure in people whose pressure is raised. Those studies use roughly 300 to 700 mg of nitrate, about two cups of juice. Plain beet powder contains less nitrate per gram, so the effect depends heavily on the amount in the scoop.
L-arginine
Arginine is the amino acid that the enzyme nitric oxide synthase turns into nitric oxide. Taken by mouth, a good part of it is broken down before it reaches the bloodstream, which is why results in healthy people are inconsistent. Trials in men with mild to moderate performance concerns have used 1.5 to 6 grams a day for one to three months.
L-citrulline DL-malate
Citrulline is converted into arginine in the kidneys and raises blood arginine more reliably than arginine itself. Research suggests a mild improvement in blood flow with continued use, and one small pilot study used 1.5 grams a day for a month. Exercise studies typically use 6 to 8 grams of citrulline malate before training.
The supporting ingredients
Niacin (vitamin B3)
Niacin is an essential B vitamin involved in turning food into energy. The adult male requirement is 16 mg a day. In its nicotinic acid form it can cause a harmless warm flush of the skin at doses of roughly 30 mg and above. There is no evidence that small doses raise nitric oxide.
Horny goat weed (Epimedium)
A traditional Chinese herb containing icariin. In laboratory tests icariin acts weakly on the same enzyme that some prescription medicines target, but the effect is many times smaller, and there are no solid human trials. Its reputation rests mostly on tradition and animal research.
Ginkgo biloba powder
Ginkgo leaf is one of the best-known circulation herbs. Clinical studies use a standardized extract at 120 to 240 mg a day; this product lists powder, which is not the same thing. Large trials have not confirmed benefits for memory or blood pressure. Ginkgo can increase bleeding risk, which matters for men on blood thinners.
Dong quai (Angelica sinensis)
Dong quai root is a staple of Chinese herbal practice, used mostly in women's formulas. There is no human evidence for nitric oxide or men's performance. It can make skin more sensitive to sunlight and may strengthen the effect of blood thinners.
D-aspartic acid
An amino acid involved in hormone signalling. A few short studies in inactive men reported a temporary rise in testosterone at about 3 grams a day, while studies in men who train regularly found no effect. Evidence is mixed overall.
What the ingredient list does not tell you
Without published amounts, it is impossible to say how close a scoop comes to the doses used in research. The first three ingredients need gram-level amounts to match studies. When your jar arrives, compare its Supplement Facts panel with the figures above.
