The juice behind the research
Since 2008, Beet It has supplied dietary nitrate research projects, along with a nitrate-free placebo. According to the brand, its shots have been used by more than 300 universities and institutes, and the brand does not fund studies that use them. The International Olympic Committee consensus statement on supplements draws on research conducted with these shots: it links nitrates to gains of 1 to 3% in time trials lasting less than 40 minutes.
How should you use it?
The brand recommends one shot one to three hours before exercise and, before a competition, one shot per day for up to six days beforehand. Nitrate levels return to baseline within 12 to 24 hours. The taste is intense: it is concentrated beetroot.
