When you consume arginine orally, a significant portion is broken down by the liver before reaching systemic circulation.

Beetroot provides dietary nitrate (NO3), which converts to nitrite (NO2) and then to nitric oxide via a bacteria-dependent pathway in the mouth and gut, a route that does not require arginine or NO synthase. Citrulline and arginine activate the separate enzymatic NO synthase pathway. Using both targets two independent NO production routes simultaneously, making the pre-race stack more robust than either ingredient category alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dark Mile Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124533379257,"sku":"JTP4CITR","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/4971\/3081\/files\/1778169401267-generated-label-image-0.jpg?v=1778293228"},{"product_id":"beetroot","title":"Beetroot","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeetroot Capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e provide a convenient, natural way to support your body’s nitric oxide production and healthy blood circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eOxygen efficiency determines who holds pace in the final miles.

In the body, nitrate converts to nitrite via oral bacteria, then to nitric oxide in active tissue. Nitric oxide relaxes the smooth muscle lining of blood vessel walls, reducing vascular resistance and increasing blood flow to working muscles. Beetroot supplementation has been shown to reduce the oxygen cost of submaximal exercise by 2 to 3%, a measurable efficiency gain that compounds across the duration of a long run or race. Each serving delivers 1,300mg of organic beta vulgaris powder in a vegetarian capsule.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBuilt for distance runners targeting blood flow efficiency and endurance capacity in training and on race day, particularly those preparing for events where sustained oxygen delivery matters across 10K to marathon distances.

For maximum effect, combine that single-day dose with a 3-day loading protocol in the days before your race. Loading saturates nitrate stores and produces a more consistent nitric oxide response than a single pre-race dose alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ: Can I stack beetroot capsules with L-Citrulline?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eA: Yes. Beetroot works via the dietary nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway. L-Citrulline increases arginine availability for nitric oxide synthase, a separate enzymatic route to nitric oxide production. The two mechanisms do not overlap and can be combined. Taking beetroot 2 to 3 hours before a race alongside L-Citrulline is a science-backed pre-race nitric oxide stack used by endurance runners looking to maximize blood flow and oxygen delivery across a race.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ: Are beetroot capsules suitable for vegan runners?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eA: Yes.
