5%
Increase in exercise time to exhaustion
16%
Delayed fatigue
Results
It was concluded that after testing six days of dietary nitrate supplementation significantly reduced the oxygen cost of exercise by 5% and delayed the onset of fatigue by 16%.
How does it work?
-
03
Nitric Oxide (NO)
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).
-
04
Fatigue Resistance, Exercise Performance & Efficiency.
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.
-
01
Nitrate (NO3)
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.
-
1-3 Hours02
Nitrite (NO2)
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.

Researchers worldwide use our placebo shots to conduct double-blind, placebo controlled trials
In conjunction with the University of Exeter, we developed the placebo shot, which is an identical version of the Nitrate 400 shot (in appearance and taste), except the nitrate has been removed.
We are happy to provide our Placebo Beet It Sport shots to teams and institutions worldwide for research.

We are against animal testing
James White Drinks Ltd does not conduct, fund or commission any research involving laboratory animals. Beet It shots are used in medical research as a natural source of dietary nitrate, and research ethics committees have approved for Beet It shots to be used for human trials without completing animal trials first. We encourage all third-party scientists who use Beet It shots in their research to avoid using animals in laboratory experiments.
