Some time ago I read the book Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition by Anita Bean, which does also emphasize on not using antibacterial mouthwash since it removes the beneficial bacteria in the mouth which convert nitrate to nitrite.

I‘m drinking beetroot juice since 3 years now and asked myself if beetroot capsules might be an alternative.

For people who don't like drinking beetroot juice, you can also regularly (French) kiss with people with healthy oral microbiomes [0][1]. Best to really get in there.

Ok but what happens when unhealthy kisses healthy? Does it balance out?

If it's not risky, I'm about to embark on a mission.

How would capsules affect the mouth biome, though?

Not sure, probably it doesn’t - in this regard the capsules might just be snake oil if they are not good in any other way

You could also make Borscht with good quality beef for a balanced, healthy meal. It's the best.

I recommend using a mouthwash based on xylitol which kills strains like streptococcus mutans but does not impair these nitrate reducers.

Erythritol and Xylitol do have a strong correlation with severe coronary diseases and risk of strokes under certain preconditions according to newer studies though.

Also not really advisable for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
