Beet juice reduces O2 uptake, increases stamina 16%.

Might be worth a try. Buy beet futures now.

Hmm. Do you think TMG pills will have the same effect?

Glen,
My guess is there's something wrong in the study. Reducing oxygen uptake is going to hurt an athlete, not help. Lowering blood pressure might help, but mostly for couch potatoes.
It could be that the nitrate can be converted to NO2, dilating arteries, and that might help.
Also, 8 volunteers isn't a large study.
Sounds like more work ahead for the researchers.

Yeah thats exactly what I thought too. But then I just assumed that I had read it wrong, or there was a typo, or something.

beet juice increases o2 in the body, and does increase stamina. It is also used as part of the natural way to cure cancer. My wife is doing it right now, and no shit is working.

Okay it sounds like there might be some benifits, more than likely its a vegtable. I imagine it tastes terrible? I cant say I have ever seen it for sale?

just remember,
beet juice on Monday....then, ruby Tuesday.

Yeah...I think they can keep their 16% improvement if it means choking down eleven glasses of beet juice a day.

They served the stuff to us quite a bit in Mexico and Costa Rica. Tastes like a glass of muddy water. And it stains. Really bad. Every beet juice drinking diver would be immediately noticable for their permenant, dark red KoolAid mustache.

I tried large amounts of raw beet juice in early 2009. The effect on apnea was not huge, at least not large enough for me to make any conclusions.
