Researchers have found the high nitrate content in beetroot supplements and drinks enhances athletic performance.
The effects of beetroot supplements was analyzed on six male and five female kayakers. The athletes' paddling economy and time-trial performance were also
analyzed after each was given a 70 milligram shot of beetroot juice.
The nitrate-rich beetroot juice was said to have increased the process efficiency of the mitochondria, the cell's energy source.
When nitrate mixes with saliva, the nitric oxygen in the bloodstream is activated. Nitric oxygen increases oxygen in the muscles, improving endurance and blood flow.
