Beetroot powder is a concentrated natural source of nitrate. Within our body, nitrate is converted to nitric oxide and nitric oxide has the following proven benefits on sports performance.
Nitric oxide is a vasodilator. Nitric oxide acts to open and expand our blood vessels allowing more oxygen and other essential nutrients to be delivered to our muscles.
Nitrate reduces the oxygen cost of exercise.
Nitrate helps muscle contraction.
Beetroot powder can also improve overall health as it decreases blood pressure.
Beetroot juice, and therefore beetroot powder, contains other healthful phytochemicals such as flavonoids, and betalains which are antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.
Beetroot powder improves both aerobic and anaerobic capacity in endurance athletes. In gym-goers, beetroot powder enables the ultimate pump, decreases perceived exertion, and allows more reps to be pushed out.
