NoBeet is a supplement that improves performance in mixed and endurance sports thanks to the increase in Nitric Oxide synthesis (NOS) both at an endogenous level, through L-Citrulline which amplifies the effects of L-Arginine, and at an exogenous level with the help of nitrates (NO3−) and nitrites (NO2−) from beetroot which are absorbed starting from the upper intestinal tract promoting the vasodilatory action and synthesis of Nitric Oxide.
A 30g dose (2 scoops) consists of:
- 0.77 g of nitrates from 12.8 g of Trubeet™, a dry beetroot extract four times more concentrated than other extracts; it exploits an unconventional pathway in the production of nitric oxide that supports that of L-Arginine, which in turn is amplified by L-Citrulline1,2. Nitrates have been shown to acutely increase performance in high-intensity intermittent workouts3–6 by improving microvascularization and therefore muscle oxygenation7, increasing the enzyme proteins that improve aerobic capacity8 and decreasing muscle contraction and relaxation times4,9. Precisely thanks to their dilatory action, they are very useful in resistance sports (Body-Building, Cross Training), as they have been shown to result in faster muscle contraction10, an increase in phosphocreatine resynthesis2,11, and therefore a direct increase in performance in terms of efficiency and speed12. At the level of endurance sports, it is now established that beetroot nitrates provide 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 body,3 thus increasing the vasodilatory effect and therefore a greater flow of nutrients. Citrulline promotes glycogenolysis and glycolysis, thus increasing the production of ATP,23 essential for continuous muscle contraction. Furthermore, it attenuates the depletion of phosphocreatine stores (the active form of creatine) and promotes their replenishment,24 thus decreasing the waiting time before repeating an explosive movement.
- 3.3 g of L-Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate is an amino acid that directly promotes nitric oxide synthesis,25 thus increasing blood flow thanks also to the adjuvant action of Citrulline.26 L-Arginine administration has been shown to increase anaerobic sprint performance and delay the onset of fatigue symptoms.27 L-Arginine also protects pancreatic β cells and improves insulin secretion.28,29 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 effort.27
- 2.0 g Cluster Dextrin® are highly branched cyclodextrins, i.e., oligosaccharides extracted from starchy foods, commonly considered to be on a par with waxy maize starch and Vitargo™, extracted from barley. The advantage of cyclodextrins, compared to these two glucose polymers, lies in their extremely high solubility, their ability to improve the absorption of other compounds to which they bind, and their resistance to high temperatures and low pH. Furthermore, their high molecular weight (160 kDa) and short molecular chain allow for rapid gastric emptying and a gradual release into the bloodstream, which is greater than that of simple glucose.30
- 200 mg of N-Acetyl Cysteine which maintains the effects of Nitrates, L-Citrulline and L-Arginine for over 6 hours by increasing their renal reabsorption and decreasing their immediate excretion31,32.
