When do athletes take the shots?
Commonly two to three hours before exercise, based on the published research. Follow the pack, and trial it in training rather than on race day.
Why has my urine turned pink?
Beeturia — a harmless effect of the pigment in beetroot that affects some people. It passes.
Is it suitable if I take blood pressure medication?
Speak to your GP or pharmacist first. Dietary nitrate can affect blood pressure, so it is worth checking if you are on medication for it.
What is the difference between the shots and the juice?
The shots are concentrated and standardised for nitrate content; the bottles are ordinary juice. For a measured amount, use the shots.
