Our beetroot powder is sourced from an Australian producer and of beetroot powder.

Our beetroot powder is made by drying concentrated beetroot juice at low temperatures and crushing it into a powder. This production method results in a beetroot powder with a very high nitrate content.

Beetroot powder is a natural but potent source of nitrate. When consumed, our bodies convert nitrate into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide has many important roles within the body, but it’s benefit to sports performance comes from its ability to dilate and expand our blood vessels, allowing more blood to be delivered to our muscles. This increased blood flow carries more oxygen to our muscles, allowing you to work harder. Nitrate also reduces the energy cost of exercise and helps muscle contraction.

Nitrate is a naturally occurring organic compound of nitrogen and oxygen which has the chemical formula NO3- . Nitrate occurs naturally in many natural foods we eat, especially leafy greens like spinach, silverbeet and even bok choy. Beetroot is a particularly good source of naturally occurring nitrate.

Beetroot powder is a concentrated natural source of nitrate. Within our body, nitrate is converted to nitric oxide and nitric oxide has the following proven benefits on sports performance.

1. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator. Nitric oxide acts to open and expand our blood vessels allowing more oxygen and other essential nutrients to be delivered to our muscles.
2. Nitrate reduces the oxygen cost of exercise.
3. Nitrate helps muscle contraction.
4. Beetroot powder can also improve overall health as it decreases blood pressure.
5. Beetroot juice, and therefore beetroot powder, contains other healthful phytochemicals such as flavonoids, and betalains which are antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.

Beetroot powder improves both aerobic and anaerobic capacity in endurance athletes. In gym-goers, beetroot powder enables the ultimate pump, decreases perceived exertion, and allows more reps to be pushed out.

Many vegetables, including beetroot are a natural sources of nitrate. However, consuming beetroot powder is a superior way to consume nitrate for improved sports performance. If sports performance is important to you, you should choose a beetroot powder supplement for the following reasons:

1. Beetroot powder is a convenient source of nitrate. If you’re heading to the gym or out for a run, you’d have to have actual beetroots prepared well in advance, in sufficient quantity, and in a form, you can consume quickly and conveniently. Beetroot powder allows you to take a high enough dose of nitrate without any planning, at any time.
2. Nitrate levels in natural foods vary significantly. The natural nitrate content of vegetables is dependent on many factors including the levels of nitrogen within the soil and water that the vegetables were grown in and watered with. Therefore, the nitrate content of vegetables varies by region and time of year. This means although you can estimate how much nitrate you are consuming from vegetables, you can never be certain of those levels. Our beetroot powder supplier provides an analysis of the nitrate content of the powder we purchase, so we know exactly how much nitrate is in one serve of Beet 500. Consuming a beetroot powder supplement is the only way to be certain that you are consuming enough nitrate to improve your performance.
3. To obtain 500mg of nitrate from beetroot juice, you would have to juice enough beets to produce almost a litre of beetroot juice. If you’re into juicing, you know that you’d have to juice a LOT of beetroots to produce that much juice.

Our BEET 500 beetroot powder has only two ingredients, beetroot powder and a little stevia to sweeten it.

Beetroot powder can be taken by anyone. For those concerned with health, beetroot powder is a great way to naturally decrease blood pressure. For gym-goers and those in strength sports, it is a great way to achieve the ultimate pump and push out more reps. Beetroot powder is one of the best supplements for endurance athletes including runners, cyclists, swimmers and triathletes.

The best nitrate supplement is a high quality, pure beetroot powder supplement like BEET 500, as it delivers a naturally high, consistent, clinical dose of nitrate to maximise your sports performance.

The best beetroot powder supplements are in powder form, not capsule form. Capsules are unable to provide a clinical dose of nitrate without taking a large number of capsules. The best beetroot supplement is one that provides a high nitrate, pure beetroot powder, for maximum performance benefits, at a reasonable price. These criteria mean that BEET 500 is the best Australian beetroot powder supplement.

Our beetroot powder is called BEET 500 as it delivers 500mg of nitrate per serve.

Beetroot powder tastes like beetroot, as it is simply a freeze-dried powder of concentrated beetroot juice. If you really dislike beetroot, then this supplement may not be for you. However, for people who are serious about their training and want to benefit from the positive effects of beetroot powder, the benefits well and truly outweigh the taste. If the flavour is a problem for you, we recommend mixing it with less water and just throwing it down the hatch!

Unfortunately, we do not have samples of BEET 500 available. You can view our sample range here 

As beetroot powder has a very strong flavour we recommend you mix it with water only. We recommend adding it to 250-400ml of water, and shaking or stirring until it is completely dissolved. Some people also like to add beetroot powder to vegetable juices or smoothies. We would not recommend adding it to any other flavoured products, but you could add unflavoured amino acids if they are part of your pre-workout stack.

One serve of BEET 500 beetroot powder is 25g or one heaped scoop. One tub of BEET 500 has 12 serves. For accuracy, we recommend weighing your serve with a set of scales.

Beetroot powder is generally safe and does not have medical side effects. Please be aware the consuming beetroot powder may result in pink urine in the short term. This is nothing to be alarmed about, it is just the beetroot pigment being processed from your body. The same thing would happen if you consumed a lot of beetroot in one sitting. Those who are sensitive to FODMAPS may experience some digestive discomfort taking beetroot powder. For this reason we would never recommend you take BEET 500 for the first time on race day, always trial it in training first! Like all supplements, it doesn’t hurt to consult a medical professional before taking it, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions.

Please ask a medical professional such as a GP or dietitian before using beetroot powder when pregnant or breastfeeding. There is nothing inherently unsafe in VPA products for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Please click here for more information.
