Beet Performer

Or in, rather, as the American Journal of Physiology (among other academic publications) flags beet juice for improved oxygen uptake capacity. The nitrates in the juice keep the O2 coming during exercise to reduce both fatigue and inflammation. Testers experimented with sipping and sucking strategies, both of which improved times by up to 7% on the Concept 2 Rower. As a 100% natural supplement, the strong taste brings a natural sweet-tart jolt to training sessions and is being used in competitive settings by collegiate and pro athletes as well. Nothing gets added. Except better performance to the outdoor competitor.
