Beetroot powder is a natural but potent source of nitrate. When consumed, our bodies convert nitrate into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide has many important roles within the body, but it’s benefit to sports performance comes from its ability to dilate and expand our blood vessels, allowing more blood to be delivered to our muscles. This increased blood flow carries more oxygen to our muscles, allowing you to work harder. Nitrate also reduces the energy cost of exercise and helps muscle contraction.
