Why is Beetroot so amazing?
Want to boost your athletic performance and muscle power naturally, without changing your workout routine? Beetroot extract is worth a look. This humble root vegetable has become a go-to for everyone from endurance runners to weekend warriors, because beets are a natural source of dietary nitrates, which your body converts to nitric oxide.* Each scoop of Antidote has 500 mg of beet root extract.
Antidote founder Reese Hanneman used beetroot extensively during his 10 year professional athletic career, and found it an important part of his training for the Olympics.
Let’s break down why beetroot has a place in athletic nutrition.
The Benefits of Beetroot for Athletes: More Than Just a Trend
The key to beetroot is its nitrate content, which your body converts into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide supports healthy blood flow and oxygen delivery to working muscles.*
Boost Endurance and Stamina
Beetroot is best known among athletes for its role in endurance.* Its nitrates are why it shows up in so many training routines, whether on the track, in the pool, or cycling up a hill.
How does it work? The nitrates in beetroot help support efficient oxygen use during exercise.*
Speed Up Recovery
Beets also contain naturally occurring antioxidants, which is one reason athletes include them in their post-training routine.*
Actionable Tip: Pair your training with a balanced post-workout meal or protein shake. Antidote gives you beetroot in a pre-workout with no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.
Enhance Oxygen Flow
When you're training hard, oxygen delivery matters. The nitric oxide your body makes from beetroot nitrates supports healthy blood flow and oxygen delivery to your muscles.*
That’s why beetroot is popular with sprinters, CrossFit athletes, and anyone whose sport relies on repeated bursts of power.
Actionable Tip: Try consuming beetroot in different forms, such as powders or capsules, if you find beet juice a little too earthy for your taste. We worked hard to create an Antidote blend that delivers beetroot with a smooth, lightly sweet flavor.
