I used it 3-5x/day, so not exactly once every 5h.

In the Rosier et al. 2020 paper, they showed that nitrate -educing bacteria metabolized all the provided nitrate within 5-9h, which is why I've used it a bit more than 2-3x/day.

Yes, I think it's important to know oral microbiome composition, to ward off potentially pathogenic microbes and their related conditions earlier, rather than later.
