Ameliorating effect of betanin, a natural chromoalkaloid by modulating hepatic carbohydrate metabolic enzyme activities and glycogen content in streptozotocin‐nicotinamide induced experimental rats. Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 88, 1069–1079. 10.1016/j.biopha.2017.01.146Beet root juice shots are a hot trend in sports today as well. Athletes of all levels speak accolades of beet shots for the increased stamina that they bring. In one study, athletes that drank beet shots improved their cyclist timing by 12 seconds in consequent races. The effects of beetroot juice supplementation on indices of muscle damage following eccentric exercise. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 116, 353–362. 10.1007/s00421-015-3290-x One study that tested participants with MRIs of the brain after drinking beet shots showed that there was an increase of blood flow to the frontal lobes.

In many cases, the prime ingredient in beetroot shots is beets, and you just need to juice them and then drink them raw. You can add whatever liquid that you want, such as water, soy milk, honey, or even a little bit of your favorite juice. The interest in various nutrients for improving athletic exercise performance has increased in recent years (Berry etal., 2015). Due to the approved dietary nitrate on physical performance, nitrate‐rich beetroot thus attracts considerable attention. It is recognized that dietary nitrate decomposes into nitrite and subsequently converts to nitric oxide (NO) and other nitrogen‐active intermediates that affect the physical performance of athletic populations (Ferguson etal., 2013). However, NO may lead to the formation of N‐nitroso compounds (NOCs) following a secondary pathway, making it be cautious with beetroot intake (Berends etal., 2019). Up to now, many studies have been conducted on the impact of beetroot in the exercise performance of multifarious subjects.

I think a bit of both. We need to be conscious of our food choices. It’s not just beetroot juice that contains nitrate – there’s lots in various lettuces and spinaches, and green leafy veg generally. So making those choices is beneficial. But often, it’s not so easy to eat five-plus portions per day, and supplementing your diet with a shot or a glass of beetroot juice once a day is probably a good way to ensure we’re getting enough of that particular nutrient. What kind of supplements are available? Juice with beets is simple and yummy! And can be made with many different ingredients (see section below on how to make beet juice drinks taste better).
