Beet Root Juice

Back 10 years ago when I was cycling alot and racing MTB, I tried beet juice and beet juice powder as it was supposed to help performance. If I remember correctly, I tried MRM beet powder as well as a couple liquid concentrates. Sorry, I can't remember the names now. I'm not sure I noticed any performance gain, maybe some. But I do know others that swore by it.

 

I've used superbeets stuff off and on for a while. It's not something you take and your feel like a hero. It helps with circulation and getting oxygen to your cells. I've used it to ride and run longer. I found it when I was doing 3 hour MTB races. I can't say how much it helped, but if you plan on riding and race pace for 3 hours, you try some things. I podiumed in those races, so maybe it worked.

 

*Podium....

I used the same thing in my smoothies a while back. Can't definitively say whether I could tell a difference or not.

I was also taking a Nitric Oxide booster, which has a similar effect. That was one supplement that you could definitely feel the effects of.

 

You don't try to negotiate with ol' Beetroot. That's all I have.

 

Isn't the main benefit the nitric oxide boosting? Just take citrulline malate powder.
