UMARA U Nitrate, Nitrate Shot 60ml

UMARA U Nitrate, Nitrate Shot 60ml

U Nitrate is a concentrated beetroot shot containing 500mg of nitrate (8mmol). We’ve chosen to increase the amount of nitrate in U Nitrate from the 400mg found in many other products to 500mg (+25%). 

- If your VO2max is 60ml/kg/min or lower, 500mg (8mmol) seems to be enough. If your oxygen uptake is higher, we recommend 2 shots (see instructions for use).

Directions

Drink 1-2 U Nitrate shots 2.5h before activity.

Avoid spitting during the period from consumption until the start of your activity, as this interrupts the nitrate’s vasodilating effect. You can drink and eat other things during this time, but your saliva, where the conversion from nitrate to nitrite takes place, should not leave your mouth and should be swallowed again. You don’t need to worry about it; just do as usual, but remember not to go around spitting every few minutes during these 2.5h.

Questions & Answers 

How does U Nitrate work? The nitrate comes from beetroot concentrate and is converted through a series of steps into nitric oxide (NO), the active substance that dilates/widens our blood vessels. This lowers resistance in the blood vessels, increases blood circulation, and improves oxygen transport to working muscles.

Do I need to load U Nitrate? If your oxygen uptake is above 60ml/kg/min, we recommend 2 shots 2.5h before activity. To ensure maximum effect, you can also build up your levels by taking 1 shot per day for 4-7 days before a competition. With loading, 1 shot 2.5h before the start is enough, regardless of oxygen uptake.
