What do you have so many beets in a lot of your different products?
Nitric Oxide is often referred to as “the miracle molecule” for a reason. Its ability to improve endurance, performance, energy, blood pressure, cardiovascular health, blood flow, longevity–and more–are unsurpassed in the natural nutrient world. The benefits of nitric oxide are derived from eating foods that are high in naturally occurring dietary nitrates (as opposed to the counterfeit chemical look-alikes that are often used as preservatives). Nitric oxide improves the rate of oxygen delivery to the body’s cells and tissues. The end result? With enough nitric oxide on board, a difficult physical effort feels easier, and you get healthier, too!
A vast number of research studies confirm that the most optimal source of dietary nitrates is beetroot juice, due to its high concentration of natural nitrates, powerful antioxidants, and heart-healthy betalains. We highly recommend PureClean Beet™ Juice Powder, ChocoBerry Blast™, Superfood formula and UnbeetaBrew™ health and performance coffee as easy–and delicious–ways to boost your body’s nitric oxide levels. As an added bonus, these three products contain the juice of beets grown in USA high-nitrate soil. As a result, they contain a measured and relevant amount of nitric oxide 3x than normal. And this means you’ll be getting the benefits you’re paying for.
Does PureClean Protein have 25G protein with 15 Grams Collagen?
The PureClean Protein contains 25g total protein. 15g is of this of is complete collagen, the other 10g contains a different amino acids ratio directly from meat instead of the cartilage. The key is you get both EAA and collagen based aminos proline/glycine which are both very important. See here. Gram for gram whey protein has more mTOR driving leucine then PureClean Protein, but virtually none of the collagen. If you want the mTOR anabolic full effect, you can add 2g of leucine per serving to PureClean Protein. You can get 500g of this for $20 for 250 servings, it's super affordable!! We don't include this boosted amino blend into PureClean Protein vanilla as it gives it a less than ideal back end taste. We are working on adding it to a cocoa version, however, so you get the maximum benefits of both worlds. Hope that helps. The combo of PP vanilla and FundAminos will cover all your EAA and collagen needs, in the meantime.
What are the half life benefits of beet juice powder and Unbeetabrew?
The benefits and half life varies and depends on your nitric oxide levels, metabolism, and the activity that you are doing. Generally, UBB works from 30 minutes after taking it for about most strong up to 1 hour. Some users say the benefits for them start at 2 hours after drinking it and last for a few hours after as well. The benefits of taking Unbeetabrew before vs. during is to make sure you are primed.
Do you have an on the bike hydration and fuel product?
It depends on the kind of racing.
For endurance races we recommend combining FundAminos with a clean carb blend.
For pre workout and training boost, try the UnBeetABrew + PeakATP bundle, take 30 minutes prior, benefits last for 2 hours or so.
For hydration you can also simply add a little pink salt and trace mineral drops from Dr. Cohen's MLP store as well.
Hopefully this helps.
As for a direct intra workout product, it's something we are working on.
