More oxygen. Less effort. Longer performance.
hyve Beet root extract helps reduce muscle oxygen demand during exercise, increases endurance and supports more efficient use of energy during intense training and racing pace.
Standardized nitrate content
More efficient muscle work and oxygen utilization
One of the top 5 performance supplements
Make full use of oxygen and prolong your performance
Nitrates support the production of nitric oxide (NO), which improves blood flow to muscles and reduces oxygen consumption during exercise. They help to push the threshold of fatigue and maintain the pace even in the later stages of exercise.
Scientifically proven dosage
One scoop (5 g) contains 500 mg of standardized nitrates – exactly what studies indicate is the optimal dose for improving endurance performance. Take 2-3 hours before training or competition.
For maximum effect, you can include the product in a multi-day preparation - for example, 4 to 6 days in a row before a race. You can also use the extract long-term for additional benefits.
1 scoop equals 1 liter of beetroot juice
Forget about juicing beets, the mess in the kitchen and the typical "earthy" taste that is quickly overpowered. Just mix one serving (5 g) in 50 ml of water - it has a pleasant and clean taste, without the unpleasant aftertaste that many athletes find annoying. Thanks to the 10% standardized extract, you always know exactly how much nitrate you are taking in per dose.
More power with less oxygen consumption
Research shows that regular nitrate intake can reduce oxygen consumption during intense running by up to 7% and increase time to exhaustion by up to 15%. A great choice for athletes who want to maintain a high pace, master the final kilometers and get the most out of their last strength.
Nitrate supplements increase your tolerance to high intensity and push your limits where it matters most — during 5-30 minute all-out runs. Whether it's a time trial, tempo run, hard intervals, or race, they help your body use oxygen more efficiently and perform at a higher intensity with less effort.
Further information
hyve 100% beetroot extract was created for all athletes who want to support their performance with scientifically proven effects.
Scientifically proven effect
Studies show that supplementation of 6–8 mmol of nitrates (≈370–500 mg) 2–3 hours before exercise can reduce oxygen demand by approximately 7% and increase time to exhaustion by up to 15% .
Suitable for both performance and recreational athletes during endurance and repeated intense exercise - such as running, cycling, HIIT or team sports.
How do nitrates work?
The nitrates in beetroot are converted to nitrite in the body and then to nitric oxide (NO) , which dilates blood vessels, improves blood flow and reduces oxygen consumption during exercise. The result is more efficient use of oxygen, delaying fatigue and increasing time to exhaustion.
Increased mitochondrial efficiency and reduced energy expenditure
Nitric oxide (NO) increases mitochondrial efficiency – it improves the ratio between ATP produced and oxygen consumed (the so-called P/O ratio ). This allows muscle cells to produce more energy with less oxygen consumption.
Research confirms that after nitrate supplementation , oxidative phosphorylation is improved and energy demands during muscle contraction are reduced. This leads to less fatigue, better utilization of available energy, and more stable performance during prolonged exercise. In addition, NO reduces the energy costs of transporting ions (e.g. Ca²⁺) inside muscle cells, which further saves energy and supports muscle function.
Frequently asked questions
Get the most out of the productIt is optimal to take one dose (5 g) 2-3 hours before training or competition. This time allows for maximum conversion of nitrates into nitric oxide (NO), which improves blood flow and muscle efficiency.
The product can be used regularly – either acutely before a performance or every day for 4-6 days before an important competition. Long-term use (e.g. during training blocks) can support adaptation to endurance or intensive exercise.
One dose (5 g of powder) contains 500 mg of standardized natural nitrate - a dose equivalent to approximately 500 ml of beetroot juice or 1 concentrated shot.
Ideal for running, cycling, triathlon, HIIT, interval training and team sports. The effects are most noticeable with 5-30 minute bursts of exercise and repeated intense performance (e.g. sprints, hill runs, final stretches).

No! Unlike regular beetroot juice, hyve Beetroot extract does not have the typical earthy aftertaste and is gentle on the digestive system. It is tasteless and mixes easily with water or your favorite beverage.
Yes! Beetroot nitrates are naturally found in foods (e.g. spinach, lettuce or celery). hyve Beetroot extract contains a standardized amount without ballast substances and with natural protection against the formation of nitrosamines.
