Beetroot Juice

“Like a natural blood thinner is beet beet juice or like beet shots. So I pretty much have one every day Baby aspirin beet juice is supposed to aid also in like oxygen utilization, right?”

“Yeah, I mean it was Rich Roll is actually the guy who told me about that. It was the pre-workout before pre-workouts. Really? Yeah. Yeah, people would just slam beet juice or a shot of beet juice. I do it every show. Beet juice. Mm-hmm. Beet juice like an hour before you go on stage.”

“the beta alanine. I want to get to that in a minute, but, um, before it, because we're kind of talking about performance enhancement, there's this whole category of these blood flow enhancers. Oh yeah. And there's like, so the beetroot juice, beetroot extract, and then there's the citrulline, arginine.”

“that much, despite it's not a small amount of research here. If you want to especially stack up like rhodiola to be like, you have a mountain to go on with beetroot juice and you have a pebble like on rhodiola. We like it. We use it a lot. We use, I've used a ton of different forms over the years.”

“you make you cognitively more sharp as well. It will. Yeah. You, you, I don't like it. Now we're talking beetroot juice or we're talking citrulline and arginine. You're going to, you're going to have a same answer for basically all the above. There will be noticeable effects. There are differences between all three of those.”

“like the arginines have fallen out of favor. Like they're not as popular anymore for a host of reasons. Um, but even the beetroot stuff, like you will see a pump, a physical pump. Like you will see, I was reading about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's not a, that's not fake at all. What, what's better beetroot juice or beetroot extract? I mean, I typically go for the low sugar,”

“places and you're just like, all right, I can take the powder supplement. It lasts longer, shelf-stable. If we're talking about like antioxidant polyphenol properties, when we know we're losing them, the powder, like we're probably losing some of that relative to the juice. Okay. But then we're going to backfill that with whole foods and other things there.”

“What are the downsides? Do you, I mean, it affects blood pressure, presumably, right? I think I remember reading studies about that years ago on at least beetroot. This is nitric oxide, right? So this is your primary health concern is going to be anything related to blood pressure, right? So you handle those equations. Our downside, GI, like GI distress is going to 100% be there.”

“With beetroot or with citrulline? All the above, particularly the beetroots, though, right? The juice there. If you eat beets and you forget, and then you go to the bathroom, like, so like, that's the part you're like, oh, like you can freak, people can freak out and they forget that they took it or they don't know why.”

“Like, it's just too powerful for some people. They're just way like, whoa, like, this is too much for me. I don't like it. I don't feel it. So you can titrate those dosages down. The other again, issues the wrong word issues too strong. But the other like little bit of like, we've had is why can't I just get this out of close something closer to whole food?”

“And he would blend beets like in a blender. In a smoothie or something? Like you could call it a smoothie, but he would like juice it and blend it and he would do a combination. It was probably like eight to 10 whole beets he would consume pre-workout. And he did it about three times, I think. And two of the three times he just threw up everywhere.”

“Some people say that they do, but you wouldn't get the dosage. That's why they're juice. That's why they're concentrated. Now, you said arginine has fallen out of favor. Why, why is that? Okay. So like you're probably pretty aware of nitric oxide metabolism. You can't just consume nitric oxide.”
