MOOP's Take
Cardiovascular health + blood pressure support + performance. Multiple pathways to nitric oxide production means more redundancy in my vascular support stack.
My Protocol
TimingWednesday AM (or pre-workout if training on a Wednesday)
Dose500mg–1g extract, or 1–2 tsp powder
NotesWednesday cycling supplement. Nitrate-rich beet root supports blood flow and endurance the same way L-citrulline does, through the nitric oxide pathway. Wednesday helps bridge the gap between Friday and Tuesday workouts.

💪 Coach Arnie
Beet root is the pre-workout choice for guys who don't want stimulants. Pure vasodilator — no caffeine jitters, just blood flow.
🩺 Doc Hartley
Multiple RCTs show significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (average -4–5 mmHg) with daily beet root. His 2018 Chol/HDL ratio of 5.0 puts cardiac health in the watchlist category — this is worth keeping in rotation.
