Umara Nitrate 500mg Shot (Beetroot)

One of Umara's guiding principles is "enhancing athletic performance," and the pursuit of excellence has always been our top priority. In recent years, scientific research has shown a significant correlation between beetroot juice (whose active ingredient is nitrate) and improved athletic performance. Therefore, we are very proud to launch our independently developed U Nitrate—a concentrated beetroot drink.

U Nitrate is a concentrated beetroot drink, with each bottle containing 500 mg of nitrate (8 mmol). We chose to increase the nitrate content in U Nitrate from the common market standard of 400 mg to 500 mg (+25%). The reason is simple: for most athletes, just one bottle is enough to achieve the vasodilatory effects observed in studies.

If your maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) is 60 ml/kg/min or less, a dose of 500 mg (8 mmol) will achieve ideal results. If your oxygen uptake is higher, you will need two bottles or to use a buffer.

Usage: Drink 1-2 bottles of U Nitrate 2.5 hours before exercise. Do not spit during the period from consumption to the start of exercise, as this will interrupt its vasodilatory effect.

Q&A:

What is the mechanism of action of U Nitrate?  The nitrates in U Nitrate come from beetroot extract and are converted through a series of steps into nitric oxide (NO), an active substance that dilates blood vessels. This reduces vascular resistance, promotes blood circulation, and optimizes oxygen delivery to muscles.

Do I need to preload with U Nitrate?  If your oxygen uptake is higher than 60 ml/kg/min, we recommend taking 2 doses 2.5 hours before exercise. If you want to ensure optimal results, you can also preload with U Nitrate by taking 1 dose daily for 4-7 days before the competition. If you have already preloaded, then 1 dose 2.5 hours before the start of the competition is sufficient, regardless of oxygen uptake.
