These really work! I break them in half and dissolve them on each side of my mouth for about 20 mins prior to working out, etc. Youll just notice that you wont hit the wall as soon as usual.

Well the first day I took one I felt nothing the second day I took one on an empty stomach with glass of water and boy it gave me a burst of energy I got everything done in an hour which would normally take me 6 hours! And they taste great!

I admit that I was skeptical when I ordered this product...my skepticism was unfounded...they actually support stronger output and longer duration of physical activity...road biking to be more precise. I can ride longer and harder since Ive been using this product. Pricey yes, does it deliver value in your training yes. I will buy this product again.

I am new to using Beet'ums and have used them on the last 5-6 rides/training sessions. I have taken them between 30-45 minutes of riding as suggested. For a one hour training session that wasn't too challenging, 1 seemed adequate. Longer or harder sessions I took 2. On a 3 hour hard ride I took 2 to start and 1/hour thereafter. I don't know if that's what is intended or not? In any event, they seem to work. The breathing seems easier on the hard efforts (raising the VO2 max somewhat). Not a miracle by any stretch but a slight improvement... enough to stay with the faster riders and not get dropped.

WOW! This works as well as FRS chews and is all natural. I had to partially pre-open several for a marathon as they are a pain to open during a run at stride. This gets them sticky in the pouch and on the hands though not really sure if there is another packaging option that will work, so we adapt when a product works, tastes good and is convenient to use.

This is by far the easiest way to get my daily dose of beets. I am a competitive amateur bike racer, and Beet'Ums are my go-to energy source, both for training and racing. They're convenient, tasty, and actually have helped me to train harder, which transfers to better racing.
I have found they're easy enough to get out of the individual packets as long as they are kept cool. As temps head into the 90's, I have found that keeping them in the refrigerator works the best for me.
On a side note, the customer service Doctor Cohen provides, is a welcome change. 5 stars there, as well.

I use NO test strips to confirm my levels and many other supplements that I am testing cannot even raise my levels a tiny bit. These give me a real strong response. They give a big boost to me before long bike rides and make the overall experience more beneficial. Perhaps this is only helpful to people who are NO deficient? Not sure... They are incredibly helpful to me in preparing for exercise.

Update 1/2018: After getting used to these for many months the stickiness has never bothered me. I try not to let them get hot as that helps greatly. Also, I adapted to the taste and actually use it as a small treat similar to dark chocolate. I just let it dissolve in my mouth, then I wash it down with water afterward.

I have re-read some of the reviews on this and I think people are thinking of this as a Red Bull type of energy... I am not certain but I don't think that is what they are aiming for. For me it tends to open up the blood vessels and lets your body relax. My BP has been helped by these and they also remove anxiety for me before exercise events. (mostly bike for me) I think the energy it gives me is the ability to do exercise longer and more relaxed, not a caffeine hit.

If you are sitting at a desk and hoping this jacks you up the day, you may be looking at the wrong product. If you want to exercise longer or you want something to relax and possible help with stress or slight anxiety, this has worked well for me.
