The Extraordinary Benefits of Beets!
Beets are one of the highest known sources of natural, dietary nitrates. These nitrates are converted via a multi-stage conversion into Nitric Oxide (NO). Formed from a combination of Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen (O), it is found in most living creatures.
The 1998 Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded for the discovery of the important role of Nitric Oxide in the blood system.
NO is a signal molecule of key importance for the cardiovascular system. As such it plays a key role as:

NO is a signal molecule of key importance for the cardiovascular system. As such it plays a key role as:
- a regulator of blood pressure
- a gate keeper of blood flow to certain organs
- a stamina enhancer via oxygen usage efficiency
- a weapon against infection
Beet-It for Sport
Beet-It shots have been shown to boost oxygen efficiency and increase stamina.
Research using Beet-It at the William Harvey Research Institute and Exeter University has demonstrated the dramatic impact it can have on improving stamina and enhance oxygen usage efficiency. These benefits arise directly from raised Nitric Oxide levels derived from the dietary nitrate found naturally in beetroot. Researchers at the University of Exeter have published findings showing that beetroot juice enabled people to exercise for up to 16% longer.
This increase in stamina is particularly true for highly anaerobic sports that require a high degree of muscular endurance, coupled with the ability to continue to generate power under fatigue.
Beet-It shots are a natural way to boost Nitric Oxide levels in the blood stream and as a result, our Beet-It shots are increasingly being regarded as the new super-fuel for athletes.

Here's what Darren Ellis, founder of CrossFit New Zealand, has to say about Beet-It shots:
"Recently I competed in the Australasian CrossFit Games. Three days of gruelling events designed to test the limits of strength and stamina. I rely heavily on smart nutrition to get me through competitions like this, but I've never bothered much with supplementation besides creatine, as I didn't believe anything else was worth it.
But this time I worked my way through a box of Beet It shots leading up to and throughout the weekend. Strong performances in the workouts, and almost instant recovery afterwards. I knew I had done the required training but I felt invincible!
Beet It shots will definitely be in my gear bag for all future comps."
