Will beet juice cause glucose spikes?
There are approx. 7 grams of carbohydrates for each 10g serving of beet juice powder. A bit of that is fiber so for reference it is equivalent to 1tsp of honey. Not a lot, but it contains plenty of minerals and especially in smoothie should not cause any glucose spikes.
How to mix aminos, is FundAminos Amino Acids Flavored & Why Do you not sell tablets? Don't like stevia
The best way to mix the amino acids powder in a few ounces of water first or in a shaker bottle. Amino acids in a powder are more more quickly absorbed than tablets, more flexible use, such as mixed with a carb blend for endurance racing, and in many ways more convenient and comfortable for many users over tablets. Over the years the flavor profile has exceedingly improved and, FundAminos, we believe now is the best tasting on the market that uses only wholefood flavor and no sugar, 100% from plants. We have done blind testing with 6 brands and we are chosen 95% of the time as the favorite. We use real organic berry and cherry powder and a precise sweetener mix to block both front and back end which is too costly for almost all brands. While there is only a little stevia in the blend, there is a very small percentage of people who are sensitive. I would recommend 2 scoops in as little as 4 ounces of water. This helps in 2 ways. It doesn't dilute the flavoring and it allows you for a quick swig of the amino acids. It is not meant to be sipped or savoured. The goal is to get the amino acids in so your body can quickly absorb. I drink my daily EAA after working out in the afternoon for 5 seconds. I don't mind it but even when it did taste really poorly in the past, people knew the benefits they received and just drank it. If this is still an issue, you can try putting some additional tarte juice such as a squeeze of lemon or splash of pomegranate or cherry juice.
Check out this recent review on FundAminos:
Hello Rick, I've been using the Fundaminos for over a week and feel it already has helped with endurance and maybe muscle tone. I have bumped my swim 25% to hit 3,000 yds at least once, with the limiting factor being time (I swim before work and have to leave at a certain time). I have also bumped the distance on the rowing machine by 25% to hit 4,000 meters and done this 2-3 times since taking the Fundaminos. So far I'm very pleased and will reorder when the time comes. Thanks for making a great clean, vegetarian product for sports enhancement!

It depends on the kind of racing.
For endurance races we recommend combining FundAminos with a clean carb blend.
