I was recently talking to one of those CrossFit® weirdos and he was going on and on about his special health water that allegedly had... nitrogen... added to it. He was swearing up and down about the health benefits.
It's like... Buddy... You know you're breathing 78% nitrogen right now, right? If it's so healthy you can just... Keep breathing..?
Nitrogen is reasonably soluble in water - about 18 mg/l, compared to 10 mg/l for oxygen. If it's running a bit low, you can choose the lid on the bottle and give it a shake - the bubbles have a lot of surface area to promote gas readsorption.
It's not what we'd normally consider an essential nutrient, unless of course you're a nitrogen-fixing plant. CrossFit guy wasn't actually some green beans in disguise, were they?
He probably developed his own internal colony of nitrogen fixing bacteria, feeding another colony of gut bacteria that churned out amino acids, providing 24/7 protein generation for maximum swole.
Your home boy may have been trying to talk about nitric oxide? Supposedly that has some health benefits.
Possibly lol
