A lot of the other athletes on our team had been using this so I thought I'd give it a try. While nothing will make you superman, this definitely made a noticeable difference in my stamina when it comes to riding my bike. After being off the bike all winter I was struggling big time to keep up with the pack. But drinking this stuff definitely helped. I noticed being able to push harder for longer than when not using it. I've tried other workout powders and they usually make me want to puke in the midst of my work out. This didn't do that. The taste isn't great but its tolerable for what you get from it. 8 beets in one serving!? Even if not using it for working out, it does give you a pop of energy without that nasty shaky feeling that other pre-workout mixes give you because they are loaded with caffeine. I have my first 100 mile gravel ride (in over a year) tomorrow, so we'll have to see how I do on this stuff. Read more

I just had a knee replacement and due to lack of exercise have been very sluggish. I had heard about BeetElite from a friend who used it for additional energy and my physical therapist used it especially for his long mountain bike rides. The taste is not good, but I expected it to be. I am using only 1 scoop full with 6 oz water for now and will work up to 2 cups. With 1 cup I almost immediately felt more energized and ready to tackle the day. I am 69 years old and a realtor - 6 weeks after surgery I am up and showing property for hours on end. Doing my P/T exercises twice a day and sleeping better at night. Read more

Flat out this product works. Gave it a test run today and It came through with flying colors. I work a very physically demanding job (Grocery Selector). Fast Paced environment with incentive pay to get you to move faster. And this goes on for 8-10 hours a day, just to give you an idea. Within 20 minutes I felt like I could breathe much easier and I felt like I couldn't get tired. I'm also NOT sensitive to caffeine at all. I require High amounts of caffeine for it to be effective so needless to say, I was very impressed with this product.....NOW on to the TASTE...I read many reviews that said it tastes awful, etc....ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I really question what kind of food and drinks these people use on a daily basis. I also question their taste buds....This product tastes fine to me. It's not sweet but it's not bitter either. I would say it tastes like a semi sweet thicker version of a fruit punch black cherry mix....After all, it is BEETS people. Sheesh. Try this product. You will like the results. Read more

Horrible product. I have had two containers go bad I called the company they were not helpful at all. I have never had such poor customer service. They flat-out just would not help. The product got hard and crystallized I really tried to make sure there was no moisture and it was sealed tightly in a dry spot storage. Obviously I might have done something wrong but if the product is so sensitive it should be packaged differently. Even if this product was amazing, which it's not, I would never order from a company like this again. I even had a moisture absorber in the container. The company told me to take a knife and break it up and still use it. This product does not expire for at least another six months. I think they want me to chop my hand off LOL. It says use within 45 days of opening you need to use it within a week or two. Or it will get bad. I think this is the worst review I have ever left in my life. Read more

My background: I was formerly a pretty serious runner, running 6-7 days/week, training for different work in federal agencies that require me to not talk about my training details in too much detail. That was years ago and I'm happily settling into the middle ages but even to this day I generally do a couple of speed workouts, a couple of recovery workouts and at least one LSD (long, slow, distance) run per week. I've used NO3 boosters before (Irwin) and this product is much more effective.I've begun taking this product before my HIIT and LSD runs, in particular before a moderate 5-miler where the first mile is a moderately steep incline that usually has me gasping by the end if I push hard. Now, I have NOT noticed any improvement during the hard push uphill. Where I do notice something, and quite dramatically, is in how quickly I recover from a hard push. Normally, after that 1-mill uphill drive, I'm pretty wiped out and do a slow jog for a few minutes. Prior to taking this product, it would take me at least three or four minutes of very slow jogging to catch my breath and resume a moderate jog pace, and even then I'd still be quite winded for another couple of minutes. With this product, and this was completely unexpected, I felt almost entirely recovered within a couple minutes--I ended up picking up the pace much earlier and shaving a couple of minutes off my total 5-mile time (although I'm really not trying to set any PR here).I've also noticed that I get a little more of a second wind on the back end of my runs. Normally, I'm pretty beat by the end of any run and kinda just stick it out at a nice slow pace till I hit home. With this product, despite my 5-miler including two pretty substantial incline pushes, I find a second wind kicking in during the last stretch and I'm cutting about 1:00/mile off my pace for the last mile and a half. And again, this is just a leisurely run and I'm not trying to set a PR.I was originally planning to take off a star for price. However, at $40 for 20 doses (and I don't even use a full dose), for $2/workout that's still cheaper than even a can of Red Bull and this does a far better job. I plan on continuing to use this product for my longer or higher-intensity workouts. Read more
