Previously, beetroot is mainly consumed as a food additive. In recent years, the beetroot,
especially the betalains (betanin) and nitrates it contains, now has received increasing …

Beetroot juice (BRJ) has become increasingly popular amongst athletes aiming to improve
sport performances. BRJ contains high concentrations of nitrate, which can be converted …

Abstract Dietary nitrates (NO3-) are naturally occurring compounds in various vegetables,
especially beetroot, which is mainly supplemented in the form of BRJ. Dietary nitrates (NO3-) …

Background Dietary inorganic nitrate (NO3−) is a polyatomic ion, which is present in large
quantities in green leafy vegetables and beetroot, and has attracted considerable attention …

Dietary nitrate supplementation has positive effects on mitochondrial and muscle contractile
efficiency during large muscle mass exercise in humans and on skeletal muscle blood flow …

This study investigated the impact of dietary nitrate supplementation on peripheral
hemodynamics, the development of neuromuscular fatigue, and time to task failure during …

Nutritional and ergogenic aid supplementation is prevalent within athletic or general fitness
populations, and is only continuing to gain momentum. Taken in isolation or as a …

Exercise tolerance appears to benefit most from dietary nitrate (NO 3−) supplementation
when muscle oxygen (O 2) availability is low. Using a double-blind, randomized cross-over …

Beetroot juice (BRJ) supplementation increases nitric oxide bioavailability with hypoxia and
acidosis, characteristics of high-intensity exercise. We investigated whether BRJ improved …

Postischemia reperfusion kinetics are markedly dissociated when comparing the macro-
versus microvasculature. We used Doppler ultrasound and near-infrared diffuse correlation …
