The benefits of nitric oxide for runners
Recent research has shown that we should eat plenty of beetroot.
Recent research has shown that the high nitrate content of beetroot juice, which boosts nitric oxide in the body, helps runners to exercise at a high-intensity for longer and now researchers from Exeter University have revealed that taking a dietary supplement to boost nitric oxide in the body can have a similar effect. The study has important implications for runners, as results suggest that taking the supplement can allow people to exercise up to 20% longer and could produce a 1-2% improvement in race times.
