The nitrite ion , which has the chemical formula NO 2 − , is a symmetric anion with equal N-O bond lengths and a O-N-O bond angle of approximately 120°. [ citation needed ] Upon protonation, the unstable weak acid nitrous acid is produced. Nitrite can be oxidized or reduced, with the product somewhat dependent on the oxidizing/reducing agent and its strength.
Nitrite
Nitrate is a polyatomic ion with the molecular formula NO 3 − and a molecular mass of 62.0049 g/mol.

Arginine
Arginine (abbreviated as Arg or R ) [ 1 ] is an α- amino acid . It was first isolated in 1886. [ 2 ] The L -form is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids. At the level of molecular genetics, in the structure of the messenger ribonucleic acid mRNA , CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG, are the triplets of nucleotide bases or codons that code for arginine during protein synthesis.
Sulforaphane
Sulforaphane is a molecule within the isothiocyanate group of organosulfur compounds . It exhibits anti- cancer and antimicrobial properties in experimental models. It is obtained from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli , Brussels sprouts or cabbages .
Pterostilbene is a stilbenoid chemically related to resveratrol and is found in blueberries and grapes . It belongs to the group of phytoalexins , agents produced by plants to fight infections. [ 1 ] Based on animal studies it is thought to exhibit anti- cancer , anti- hypercholesterolemia , anti- hypertriglyceridemia properties, as well as the ability to fight off and reverse cognitive decline. [ citation needed ] It is believed that the compound also has anti- diabetic properties, but so far very little has been studied on this issue. [ citation needed ]

Turmeric ( Curcuma longa ) English pronunciation: /ˈtɝːmərɪk/ is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae . [ 2 ] It is native to tropical South Asia and needs temperatures between 20°C and 30°C (68°F and 86°F) and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive. [ 3 ] Plants are gathered annually for their rhizomes , and propagated from some of those rhizomes in the following season. In Vietnam , turmeric is called "nghệ", "củ nghệ". When not used fresh, the rhizomes are boiled for several hours and then dried in hot ovens, after which they are ground into a deep orange-yellow powder commonly used as a spice in curries and other South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine , for dyeing , and to impart color to mustard condiments . Its active ingredient is curcumin and it has a distinctly earthy, slightly bitter, slightly hot peppery flavor and a mustardy smell.

Anthocyanin
Anthocyanins give these pansies their dark purple pigmentation.Curcumin
Curcumin is the principal curcuminoid of the popular Indian spice turmeric , which is a member of the ginger family ( Zingiberaceae ). Turmeric's other two curcuminoids are desmethoxycurcumin and bis-desmethoxycurcumin . The curcuminoids are natural phenols that are responsible for the yellow color of turmeric.Catechin
Catechin ( pron.: / ˈ k æ t ɨ tʃ ɪ n / ) is a flavan-3-ol , a type of natural phenol and antioxidant . It is a plant secondary metabolite .An effective dose (ED) in pharmacology is the dose or amount of drug that produces a therapeutic response or desired effect in some fraction of the subjects taking it.
