NoBeet is a supplement that improves performance in mixed sports and endurance sports thanks to the increase in the synthesis of Nitric Oxide (NOS) both at an endogenous level, through L-Citrulline which amplifies the effects of L-Arginine, both at an exogenous level with the help of nitrates (NO3−) and nitrites (NO2−) from beetroot which are absorbed starting from the first intestinal tract, promoting the vasodilatory and synthetic action of Nitric Oxide.
A 30 g dose (2 scoops) is made up of:
- 0.77 g of nitrates from 12.8 g of Trubeet™, a dry beet extract four times more concentrated than other extracts; exploits an unconventional route in the production of nitric oxide which assists that of L-Arginine, which is in turn amplified by L-Citrulline1,2. Nitrates have been shown to acutely increase performance in high intensity intermittent work3–6, improving microvasculature and therefore muscle oxygenation7, increasing enzymatic proteins capable of improving aerobic capacity8 and decreasing muscle contraction and release times4,9 . Precisely thanks to their dilating action, they are very useful in resistance sports (Body-Building, CrossFit), as they have demonstrated faster muscle contraction10, an increase in Phosphocreatine resynthesis2,11, and therefore a direct increase in performance in terms of efficiency and speed12. At Endurance sports level, it is now well established that beetroot nitrates bring benefits both acutely, with a single dose13–15, and with chronic use16–20.
- 9.9 g of L-Citrulline is an amino acid that promotes the synthesis of nitric oxide (NOS)21,22 which doubles the levels of L-Arginine and L-Ornithine already present in the body3, thus increasing the vasodilatory effect and therefore a greater influx of nutrients. Citrulline promotes glycogenolysis and glycolysis, thus increasing the production of ATP23, essential for continuous muscle contraction. Furthermore, it attenuates the depletion of phosphocreatine stocks (active form of creatine) and promotes its restoration24, thus decreasing the waiting time in replicating an explosive gesture.
- 3.3 g of L-Arginine alphaketoglutarate is an amino acid that directly produces the synthesis of nitric oxide25, thus increasing blood flow thanks also to the adjuvant action of Citrulline26. The administration of L-Arginine has been shown to increase anaerobic performance in sprints and delay the time to onset of fatigue symptoms27. L-Arginine also has a protective function of pancreatic β cells and improves insulin secretion28,29. The combination of L-Arginine and Creatine helps increase anaerobic performance and muscle mass, as well as improving the rate of ATP resynthesis during muscular effort27.
- 2.0 g Cluster Dextrin® are highly branched cyclodextrins, i.e. oligosaccharides extracted from starchy foods, commonly considered to be the same as waxy corn starch and Vitargo™ extracted from barley. The advantage of Cyclodextrins, compared to the latter two glucose polymers, lies in their very high solubility, in their ability to improve the absorption of other compounds to which they bind, and to resist high temperatures and a low pH. Furthermore, their high molecular weight (160 kDa) and their short molecular chain allow rapid gastric emptying and a greater gradual release into the blood compared to simple glucose30.
- 200 mg of N-Acetyl Cysteine which maintains the effects of Nitrates, L-Citrulline and L-Arginine for over 6 hours, increasing renal reabsorption and decreasing immediate excretion31,32.
WARNINGS Food supplements should not be understood as substitutes for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Do not use during pregnancy, breastfeeding or in children or in any case for prolonged periods without consulting your doctor. Keep out of reach of children under 3 years.
