No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It was shown by some researchers that dietary nitrate such as beet root juice can lower oxygen consumption in men and act as a performance enhancing supplement.

It was not shown, what the optimal dosage is and if there is any difference in oxygen consumption comparing beet root juice and inorganic nitrate.

Therefore, the aim of the study is to conduct a study ingesting different sodium nitrate and beet root juice dosages. We would measure nitrate and nitrite concentrations in the blood at different time points and the subjects have to perform an exercise test measuring oxygen consumption 3 hours after the ingestion of nitrate.
