IONTMAX
Beetroot Fuel 10.2 g

IONTMAX Beetroot Fuel is a concentrated nitrate drink made from beetroot extract, designed as a pre-workout supplement for endurance sports. One stick (10.2 g) contains 10 g of standardised beetroot extract with a guaranteed content of at least 500 mg of nitrates and 60 mg of vitamin C. Nitrates are converted in the body into nitric oxide, which is involved in regulating blood flow. The product is suitable for running, cycling, triathlon, and other endurance or intense training sessions and races.

Mix the contents of one stick (10.2 g) in 300 ml of water, ideally in a shaker or sealable bottle, and shake thoroughly. It is recommended to drink this 2 to 3 hours before physical activity to give the body enough time to convert nitrates into nitric oxide. Before important races, the manufacturer recommends taking 1 drink daily for 4 to 7 days, which helps achieve a gradual increase in nitrate levels in the body.

One serving (1 stick, 10.2 g) contains at least 500 mg of nitrates derived from 10 g of standardised beetroot root extract. Unlike common beetroot powders, where the nitrate content can vary depending on the quality of the raw material, this figure is guaranteed by the manufacturer for Beetroot Fuel and verified by laboratory analysis. This allows you to know exactly what dose of nitrates you are taking with each stick, without the need for estimation.

When used in the recommended dosage of one stick per day, the product is safe for healthy adult endurance athletes. Nitrates from beetroot can cause harmless discolouration of urine or stool to red (so-called beeturia), which is a common and harmless bodily reaction. Individuals with low blood pressure, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those taking blood pressure medication should consult a doctor before use. The product contains no allergens.

No, IONTMAX Beetroot Fuel does not contain allergens. The formula consists of beetroot root extract (Beta vulgaris L.), steviol glycoside sweetener from stevia, vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), and natural flavouring. Thanks to its simple and clean composition, it is also suitable for athletes who monitor the allergen content of pre-workout supplements or have a digestive system sensitive to more complex blends.

Yes, the product's ingredients are plant-based – beetroot extract, steviol glycosides from stevia, vitamin C, and natural flavouring contain no animal-derived ingredients. The product is therefore suitable for vegans and vegetarians looking for a natural source of nitrates before training. Since the manufacturer does not explicitly label the product with a vegan certification, we recommend verifying this information directly with the manufacturer if you have strict dietary requirements.

One serving (10.2 g) contains 33 kcal, 8.1 g of carbohydrates (of which 6.0 g are sugars), 0.4 g of protein, and 0 g of fat. The sugar content comes naturally from the beetroot extract; the drink is additionally sweetened with steviol glycosides from stevia with no added sugar. The energy value is low, so the drink will not significantly impact your daily calorie intake and is suitable as part of a pre-workout strategy even when monitoring carbohydrate intake.

The main difference is the guaranteed and laboratory-verified nitrate content. Regular beetroot powder can have a fluctuating nitrate content depending on the quality of the raw material, so the consumer does not know exactly how much active ingredient they are receiving. Beetroot Fuel uses standardised extract with a guarantee of at least 500 mg of nitrates per serving, allowing for precise and repeatable dosing without weighing or measuring powder.

Compared to concentrated beetroot shots, Beetroot Fuel offers a similar functional dose of nitrates (min. 500 mg) but with a milder, more pleasant taste thanks to stevia sweetening and natural flavouring instead of a harsh, earthy beetroot flavour. Additionally, it contains 60 mg of vitamin C (75% RI), which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and the reduction of fatigue. The stick format for mixing with water is also more convenient to carry than glass shot bottles.

Yes, nitrates from beetroot work via a different mechanism (promoting blood flow via nitric oxide) than stimulants like caffeine, so they can be combined in practice. When combining with other pre-workout products, we recommend monitoring your total intake of active substances and timing, as Beetroot Fuel is taken 2 to 3 hours before performance, while stimulant products are usually taken closer to training. If in doubt, consult a professional about the combination.

A single 10.2 g stick contains exactly 1 serving for one-time use. This packaging is particularly suitable for trying the product, one-off use before a specific race or training session, or as a convenient addition to larger supplies for travel and training camps when you do not want to carry bulky tubs of powder.

The drink has a natural flavour, sweetened with steviol glycosides from stevia and complemented by natural flavouring. The flavour profile is designed as a more pleasant alternative to the typically intense and earthy concentrated beetroot shots, making it more palatable for regular pre-training use, even for sensitive consumers.

The product is primarily intended for endurance and performance athletes – runners, cyclists, triathletes, and participants in ultra-endurance disciplines who want to include a precisely defined dose of nitrates in their pre-workout or racing strategy. It is also suitable for athletes undergoing intense training where blood flow support is important. The convenient stick packaging will be appreciated especially by those who travel for races or training camps.

The drink is recommended to be taken 2 to 3 hours before physical activity, which corresponds to the time required for the body to convert nitrates into nitric oxide. To maximise the effect before important races, the manufacturer recommends a multi-day protocol – taking 1 serving daily for 4 to 7 days in advance, which causes the nitrate level in the body to rise gradually and the effect to potentially manifest more strongly than with a single dose.
