I was introduced to BeetElite by Amelia ahead of the Spartan World Championships in Tahoe in 2017 due to the benefit of beets when at altitude.  I had been looking for a beet product that had a good taste, and have loved BeetElite’s powder mix ever since. Beets can enhance muscle efficiency by reducing the oxygen-cost of exercise, essentially making it easier to work harder. Talk about being efficient.  They’ve even done a clinical trial on their product with interval training in cyclists and found an 18% increase in potential duration.  Try BeetElite yourself to experience the benefits of beet powered performance.
