UMARA U Nitrate, Nitrate Shot 60ml x 12

U Nitrate is a concentrated beetroot shot containing 500mg of nitrate (8mmol). We have chosen to increase the amount of nitrate in U Nitrate from the 400mg found in several 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 directions for use).

Directions for use

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

Avoid spitting between taking the shot and the start of your activity, as this interrupts 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; swallow it instead. This is nothing you need to worry about—just carry on as usual, but remember not to keep 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 reduces resistance in the blood vessels, increases blood circulation and improves oxygen transport to working muscles.

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