Nitrates & Beetroot Juice: Insights

LEARN MOREWhat are nitrates?

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.

HOW OFTEN TO TAKE NITRATES?

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.

WHAT OTHER NUTRITION IS FOUND IN BEETROOT JUICE?

One cup of raw beets has 58 calories and 13 grams of carbohydrates. A cup of beet juice is usually around 100 calories and 25 grams of carbohydrates, because of the way it is processed.

Beets are good sources of folate, potassium, vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, as well as nitrates.
