Effects of Beetroot Juice and Beetroot Powder on Exercise Performance: A Comparative Study

Comparison of Beetroot Juice vs. Beet Powder

Journal: Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (2019)

Findings: While not specifically focused on fermented beetroot, this study compared beetroot juice and beetroot powder for their effects on nitric oxide and athletic performance. The study concluded that beetroot juice has a quicker onset of action due to faster absorption of nitrates, leading to more immediate improvements in blood flow and endurance compared to the powder form. The liquid form was also associated with greater efficacy in lowering blood pressure.
