The Science Behind RACE READY NITRATES

Introduction

The use of nitrate as a way of enhancing sports and training performance is becoming ever popular. PURE Performance + Race Ready Nitrates is a cutting-edge nitrate-loading drink mix tailored for endurance athletes. Designed for use 5 days leading up to an event, it capitalises on the cumulative effects of dietary nitrates to enhance oxygen efficiency, blood flow, and athletic stamina.

The formula provides a potent combination of 500 mg of dietary nitrates from natural sources such as beetroot juice concentrate and Oxystorm™, the world’s richest natural source of nitrate derived from red spinach (Amaranthus dubius) leaves. This is enhanced by 500 mg of Vinitrox™, a proprietary blend of apple and grape polyphenols clinically proven to support nitric oxide production and improve blood flow, enabling athletes to push harder and recover faster. Additionally, 150mg of anthocyanins from New Zealand blackcurrant powder, rich in anthocyanins, offers adaptogenic, antioxidant and GI support to further bolster exercise performance and recovery. GI issues can occur with nitrates so it is important to try prior to your big event.

Ingredients

Key Features

High-Impact Nitrate Loading: Supplies 500 mg of dietary nitrates per serving, derived from beetroot and Oxystorm™ for optimal nitric oxide boosting allowing you to output more with similar effort.
Enhanced Nitric Oxide Pathways with Vinitrox™: Includes 500 mg of Vinitrox™, a patented blend of apple and grape polyphenols, shown to improve blood vessel dilation and delay fatigue.
Adaptogenic and Antioxidant Support: Featuring 150 mg of anthocyanins from New Zealand blackcurrant powder, packed with anthocyanins to enhance recovery, support immunity and reduce accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles.
Cluster Dextrin and Sucrose (from cane sugar) for carb loading, the equivalent of approximately one energy gel (26 grams of carbohydrates).
Natural and Plant-Based: Sourced entirely from natural ingredients for high bioavailability and clean athletic nutrition.

Vinitrox™

A patented blend of apple and grape polyphenols, Vinitrox™ is clinically demonstrated to support vascular function by enhancing endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity. This supports blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles, helping delay fatigue and increase time to exhaustion during endurance activities

Oxystorm™

Extracted from the amaranthus plant, Oxystorm™ is the highest natural source of nitrate, delivering rapid and sustained nitric oxide production, making it an excellent option for achieving peak nitrate levels.

Recommended Use

Mix one serving of Race Ready Nitrates with 500 ml of water.
Consume daily for 5 consecutive days before your race or event to maximise nitrate levels.
For best results, use as directed and as part of a well-balanced diet.

The body needs time to adapt to the increased nitric oxide production, this adaptation peaks at around 5 days. A single pre-race dose is helpful, but it won’t trigger the same physiological adaptations as a structured loading period.
