Adults convert nitrate to nitrite in the small intestines, babies, however, do so in the
stomach already, as their stomach acid production is not yet fully developed. Stomach
acid prevents, among others, nitrate reducing bacteria to colonize the small intestines.
In the blood, nitrite oxidizes hemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting essential oxygen. Especially for children and babies life threatening conditions with acute danger of suffocation may occur.
The newly developed tests are based on proven VISOCOLOR ® system and were developed as high-quality VISOCOLOR ® SCHOOL test specifically for schools.
