Beetroot

Beetroot Capsules provide a convenient, natural way to support your body’s nitric oxide production and healthy blood circulation.

Oxygen efficiency determines who holds pace in the final miles. This beetroot supplement for runners delivers 1,300mg of organic beetroot powder per serving to support nitric oxide production, blood vessel dilation, and oxygen delivery to working muscles before training and on race day.

Beetroot is one of the richest dietary sources of inorganic nitrate. 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.

Built 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. Also relevant for masters runners managing cardiovascular health alongside performance goals.*

FAQ

Q: When should a runner take beetroot before a race?

A: Dietary nitrate from beetroot peaks in plasma as nitrite approximately 2 to 3 hours after ingestion, so take 2 capsules 2 to 3 hours before your start time on race day. 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.

Q: Can I stack beetroot capsules with L-Citrulline?

A: 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.

Q: Are beetroot capsules suitable for vegan runners?

A: Yes. The capsule shell is made from hypromellose, a plant-derived material. The active ingredient is organic beetroot powder (beta vulgaris). The formula contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Q: How does this compare to beet juice shots?

A: Concentrated beet juice shots are standardized to a specific nitrate dose, typically 300 to 500mg NO3 per shot, which simplifies dose tracking. Beetroot powder capsules offer a more portable and shelf-stable format with no taste barrier, making them practical for travel and race-week routines.
