PURE Performance + Race Ready Nitrates is a nitrate-loading drink mix for endurance athletes. Designed for use over the 5 days leading into an event, it uses the cumulative effects of dietary nitrates to support oxygen efficiency, blood flow and stamina. Each box holds five individually packaged serves.
What's in each serve
- 500mg of dietary nitrate from beetroot and Oxystorm, a nitrate-rich extract from red spinach (Amaranthus dubius) leaves
- 500mg Vinitrox, a patented blend of apple and grape polyphenols that supports vessel dilation and delays fatigue
- 150mg anthocyanins from New Zealand blackcurrant powder to support recovery
- Cluster Dextrin and sucrose, delivering about 28.5g of carbohydrate, roughly the equivalent of an energy gel
- Plant-based, natural ingredients
When to use it
- The 5 days before a marathon, ultra, Ironman, road or gravel race, or any key event
- Hot or high-altitude events, where oxygen efficiency matters
- Athletes who have trialled nitrates in training and want a structured loading protocol
How to use it
Take one sachet daily for 5 days before your event: mix with 500ml of water, shake well and drink within 4 hours of mixing. PURE notes a single pre-race dose can help, but won't produce the same adaptations as a loading period. Some athletes get GI upset from nitrates, so trial it well before race day.
