A standardized and fruity shot packed with plant-based nitrate from beetroot and amaranthus. Once converted to nitric oxide (NO), nitrate increases oxygen delivery to muscles and supports muscle contraction. This improves both your endurance and sprint performance.
The aerobic combustion of carbohydrates and fats provides more than 90% of the energy in the muscles during maximum efforts of more than 5 minutes. This energy supply naturally requires a sufficient supply of oxygen (O2) to the muscles, but this is limited. It is therefore important to use the available oxygen as efficiently as possible. Research has shown that taking a nitrate supplement, such as beetroot juice, can help with this. Taking nitrate increases the production of nitric oxide (NO) in the blood. This NO is then probably an extra supplier of oxygen atoms (O) for the muscle cells. NO also plays an important role in increasing muscle blood flow during exercise. There is also evidence that NO can promote the release of calcium in the muscle cells, which is essential for maximum strength performance. Nitrate supplementation has been shown to increase endurance performance by 1 to 5%, and possibly sprint performance by increasing muscle strength.
Most studies indicate an optimal dosage of 400 to 600 mg per dose. Nitrate occurs naturally in almost all edible plants, especially in green leafy vegetables and tubers. But this nitrate content is usually very variable and unknown. A 6d Nitrate Shot, on the other hand, always contains exactly 500 mg of nitrate from beet and red spinach. Excessive use of nitrates can potentially be harmful. Therefore, only use 6d Nitrate Shots during peak times after important performances and do not exceed the recommended dosage. When using nitrate shots according to these recommendations, and in combination with vitamin C (as with the 6d Nitrate Shot), no harmful side effects have been observed. However, the use of 6d Nitrate Shots can color the urine red due to the natural red dyes contained in beet. However, this is completely harmless.
6d Nitrate Shots is the ideal supplement to increase your performance in endurance competitions and possibly also your sprint performance with a natural product.
Take 1 shot 2-3 hours before the competition. An extra intake of 1-2 shots per day for 3-7 days before the competition is desirable for well-trained (endurance) athletes. Shake before use. Avoid mouthwash or chewing gum for optimal effect. The required conversion of nitrate (NO3) into NO requires the presence of sufficient oral bacteria. Therefore, the use of 6d Nitrate Shots is rather pointless for people who use antibacterial chewing gum or mouthwash.
The product should be taken as part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool and dry place.
