What's in *your* beet juice?



Check out poster #2398 at ACSM next week for full results.

Interesting. Is there any concensus on what the appropriate serving/dose should be?

I'm curious about this as well. I currently take 2 Beet-It Sport shots between 1.5 to 2 hours before a race.

I also don't supplement Beet juice during a race, but would this be beneficial for longer races like an Olympic distance or 70.3?

IIRC, general consensus is roughly 500ml/day leading up to and including race day for about 7 days. This is to maximize benefits and minimize intestinal distress.

Andrew-

This is the one I use. It is not marketed toward athletes really. I shop here as it is an Arizona based company and they have great customer service, and BOGO's often.

How about BulkSupplements Beet Root powder?

I wouldn't really say that there is a concensus, but data from several studies points to 6-12 mmol being the optimal dose, at least in healthy young individuals (we are presently conducting dose-response studies in heart failure patients and in healthy elderly individuals, as they may require more).

As for chronic vs. acute dosing, there really isn't much evidence in humans for anything beyond an acute effect (as I had to educate a reviewer about recently).

Thanks, but we're done.

Any thoughts on this new highly marketed product AltRed?

No real opinion on the product, but let's just say that I have not been impressed by the marketing.

How about Beet Mon Viandes?

Can't wait for your output/results. I've been mixing the local brand beet root powder I get from Sprouts with milk most mornings, not for the athletic advantage, more for healthy drink for breakfast.

How about Beet Meat Manifesto. That's my go-to.

Beet root powder and milk?

Every morning I finish my morning session with almond milk, beet root powder, and vanilla protein power. It's actually pretty tasty.

But your missing out, I had significant gains with it. My right arm has never been bigger. Of course, I am now blind, but hey....

This stuff is honestly the worst beet product that I've ever tried. Even at its price point, I could never go back to it.

Any chance you can repost these charts?

Where were the results published?
