Beetroot juice has gained popularity among runners for its potential to boost performance.
What nitrate supplements are, how they work, and how they can help?
What exactly are nitrates, and how do they enhance oxygen efficiency?
Beetroots contain a natural chemical called nitrates. These can be transformed into nitric oxide inside your body, which helps boost stamina, increase blood flow, and lower blood pressure, research shows.
In some studies, drinking about 2 cups of beet juice daily or taking nitrate capsules lowered blood pressure in healthy adults.
Beet juice may also help your stamina when you exercise. In one study, people who drank beet juice for 6 days had better stamina during intense exercise.
We recommend consume nitrates one to three hours before training and up to six days before competition.
