Hi,
If you want to get fitter or go faster, there's one cheat code that always works.
More blood flow.
Everyone appreciates more blood flow, especially as you get older.
Real science and real studies show a 4% or greater performance increase. Some super elite athletes may only see 1-2%, but at that level that's the difference between winning and losing. If you're modestly fit or less, you can see up to a 20% increase.
I swear I'm 10% faster on blood flow boosting products. Maybe I'm not that fit to begin with. But the answer is: these products work.
On Saturday a new player entered the space—the Amacx Beet Shot, an upgrade to the OG in this category, Beet-It. But that doesn't tell the whole story.
What I'm actually talking about is increasing the amount of Nitric Oxide you have circulating.
Nitric Oxide opens up your arteries so more blood can flow to your working muscles. More blood means more oxygen. More oxygen means you can push harder before you go anaerobic and your body starts to slow down.
But you aren't taking Nitric Oxide directly. It's not the nitrous you put in your hot rod. What you do is take precursors that increase how much Nitric Oxide your body is producing.
Fun fact: One of those pathways is in your saliva. Nitrates interact with natural bacteria in your mouth to convert to Nitric Oxide. So don't use mouthwash while you're doing this (or just before). You'll kill the bacteria.
Here's what I love about this:
I can know if it's working.
Sure, I know it works by how much faster I am. But to prove it's not a placebo, when we launched Nitric Oxide Pro I included saliva test strips that accurately show how much Nitric Oxide your body has.
I did one test (stick it under my tongue) before I took anything. I had almost no Nitric Oxide. Took Nitric Oxide Pro and tested again at one hour, then again at two hours.
It's incredible. You can see it works.
There are very few things you can take and then immediately test for the result at home and see it actually worked. You can get these strips for free with Nitric Oxide Pro.
I've decided that a Nitric Oxide stack is my winning combination.
SwissRX Nitric Oxide Pro every morning. Just two capsules. Dr. Sprouse likes this not just for sports performance but overall cardiac health. Over 50, I need this.
A nitrate boosting shot 2 hours before training. Try Amacx Beet Shot, Beet-It Sport, or SanteMadre Unusual Nitrous.
Unusual Nitrous is for when you want to go full pro on me. It's Beet Root + BiCarb + Tart Cherry all-in-one. 600mg of nitrate, 7g of sodium bicarb, and 249mg of polyphenols. It checks all the boxes.
I still combine it with Nitric Oxide Pro because it has a totally different method of action. They complement each other.
The Setup:
Morning: Nitric Oxide Pro (baseline production)
Pre-workout: Nitrate shot (acute spike)
Under your tongue: Test strip (proof it's working)
