Beet Endurance by Pure Sports Nutrition is a powder made from concentrated beetroot juice with no additives or preservatives. It contains naturally occurring nitrates and is recommended for nitrate loading before racing, endurance events, or to support endurance performance. The science behind beetroot for performance is solid, and loading pre-event is now common practice for both recreational and elite athletes.
How does it work? Beetroot is high in a naturally occurring compound called nitrate. Once in the body, nitrate is converted to nitric oxide (also naturally occurring), which in turn helps to open up our blood vessels. The dilated blood vessels increase blood flow, helping to deliver more oxygen and nutrients and clear waste products from your hard-working muscles.
When drinking Beet Endurance, the nitrates come in contact with saliva and are naturally converted to nitric oxide. To optimise this process avoid teeth brushing, chewing gum or drinking following consumption of Beet Endurance.
The benefits of Beet Endurance by Pure Sports Nutrition include:
Directions: Simply mix three lightly heaped tablespoons with 250ml water to ensure adequate fluid intake. Consume at least 3 – 4 hours before an event, and for optimum results, take daily as directed for 2 – 5 days before your planned event.
Warning: Avoid the use of toothpaste, mouthwash or chewing gum at the time of consumption as it may interfere with nitrate ingestion. This food is not a sole source of nutrition and should be used in conjunction with an appropriate exercise program. Children under 15 years & pregnant or lactating women should use only under medical or dietetic supervision.
