Beetroot Nitrate Cognitive Performance Randomized TrialNitrates can be found in a variety of vegetables and their nitrate concentration can differ due to factors such as: weather conditions, soil quality and its pH or the plant species [].1Nowak Anna (2025)Beetroot Juice Supplementation as a Healthy Aging Strategy Through Improving Physical Performance and Cognitive Functions: A Systematic Review
Beetroot Nitrate Cognitive Performance Randomized TrialAs a result, the actual nitrate and nitrite content in beetroot supplements may differ from what is expected or labelled [,].1Nowak Anna (2025)Beetroot Juice Supplementation as a Healthy Aging Strategy Through Improving Physical Performance and Cognitive Functions: A Systematic Review
Beetroot Nitrate Cognitive Performance Randomized TrialNowadays, the protocols of nitrate supplementation in sports, recommend the dose of ~6-6 mmol (350–500 mg), taken approximately around 2–3 h before planned exercise [].1Nowak Anna (2025)Beetroot Juice Supplementation as a Healthy Aging Strategy Through Improving Physical Performance and Cognitive Functions: A Systematic Review

Beetroot Nitrate Cognitive Performance Randomized TrialCardiovascular adaptations appear more coherent, with acute reductions in systolic blood pressure and improved endothelial function complemented in some cases by microvascular enhancements during multi-week supplementation.4Lee E (2026)Beetroot Juice and Exercise for Clinical Health and Athletic Performance: A Narrative Review.
Beetroot Nitrate Cognitive Performance Randomized TrialOverall, available evidence supports a role for NO-mediated vascular and metabolic pathways in the physiological effects of BRJ, although marked inter-individual variability highlights the need for responder-focused dosing strategies and further mechanistic investigation integrating metabolic, microbial, and performance-related outcomes.4Lee E (2026)Beetroot Juice and Exercise for Clinical Health and Athletic Performance: A Narrative Review.
Beetroot Nitrate Cognitive Performance Randomized TrialBeetroot juice (BRJ), a concentrated dietary source of nitrate alongside betalains and polyphenols, influences physiology through enhanced nitrate-nitrite-NO bioavailability, antioxidant activity, and interactions with oral and gut nitrate-reducing microbiota.4Lee E (2026)Beetroot Juice and Exercise for Clinical Health and Athletic Performance: A Narrative Review.
Beetroot Nitrate Cognitive Performance Randomized TrialThe efficiency of these mechanisms depends on dose, timing, and preservation of oral bacteria, with antibacterial mouthwash or thiocyanate-rich foods potentially blunting NO 2 - generation.4Lee E (2026)Beetroot Juice and Exercise for Clinical Health and Athletic Performance: A Narrative Review.
