Watch out for

  • L-arginine, L-citrulline, and beetroot or beet juice raise nitric oxide, which widens blood vessels. Combined with nitrate medications (such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide) or PDE5 medications (such as sildenafil or tadalafil), the blood-pressure-lowering effects can add together, and drops large enough to cause dizziness or fainting have been described — the concern is strongest with heart nitrates.
