Study #1
Beets Boost Performance
Beetroot juice (BRJ) is popular among athletes due to its high nitrate content, which can convert into nitric oxide (NO) after consumption. NO has various functions, including reducing blood pressure and increasing oxygen delivery to organs, potentially benefiting cardiovascular health. BRJ also impacts oxygen delivery to muscles, leading to positive effects on muscle efficiency, tolerance, and endurance, enhancing sports performance.

Study #2
Cellular Regeneration
In response to trauma, diet, injury and aging all impact serum antioxidant levels. If the antioxidant concentration becomes low, then the scavenging activity of the extracellular enzymes is reduced. This can impact intracellular oxidative stress, hindering the capability for cells to regenerate effectively. Supplementing with antioxidants can ensure adequate levels to support healthy cellular regeneration.
