Why Beet It Sport?
Over the last decade, our beetroot juice has been independently tested by over 300 universities worldwide. There are many beetroot juice supplements marketed to athletes, yet most contain little-to-no dietary nitrate, thus offering minimal, if any, performance benefit. Our Beet It Sport Nitrate 400 shot has been shown to be the only concentrated beetroot juice product to provide an adequate dose of dietary nitrate per serving (400mg).Used by Elite Athletes

How does it work?
- After consuming nitrate-rich beetroot juice, nitrate is absorbed into the bloodstream and taken up by the salivary glands, before being converted to nitrite by bacteria in the mouth.
- Nitrite is then swallowed, absorbed into the bloodstream and transported around the body. Nitrite can be converted to nitric oxide in the blood and in various organs including muscle.
- Nitric oxide is important for several processes that influence exercise performance, including vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and muscle contractility (increase in the force of contraction).
- A key effect of dietary nitrate is that it reduces the oxygen demand of exercise, meaning the muscles need less oxygen to maintain a given work rate, thereby improving exercise efficiency, fatigue resistance and exercise performance.
In 1998, three scientists – R F Furchgott, L J Ignarro and F Murad – were awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the importance of nitric oxide.
Backed by Science
Beet It shots have been independently used in over 300 published medical and sports performance research papers since 2009. The research has focussed on the following areas:Endurance

Dosage guidelines
Consume 1 or 2 Beet It Sport shots one to three hours before training and for up to six days before competition.
Why beet it sport regen cherry+?
The new Beet It Regen Cherry+ is a novel recovery shot containing a mixture of sour cherry juice concentrate (58%) and beetroot juice concentrate (42%) in a convenient ready-to-drink 70ml format. Unlike other cherry juice products, Beet It Regen Cherry+ does not need to be diluted with water meaning it is quick and convenient for on-the-go consumption.Convenience

How does it work?
Sour cherry juice concentrate has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, including reduced symptoms of, or enhanced recovery, from muscle damaging exercise (i.e., delayed on muscle soreness).
Dosing guidelines
Beet It Regen Cherry+ shot is a “precovery” product, designed to be consumed in the days before exercise to assist with recovery on the days after exercise. Regen cherry+ shots should be consumed in conjunction with Beet It Sport Nitrate 400 shots, which are nitrate-rich and used for enhanced exercise performance
