Beet Juice any good?

I dosed up on it for a week prior to a fitness test. Can't say I noticed any difference but I'm not very fit anyway. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

I used to juice beets back when I was heavy into juicing. I don't recall anything special about them but then again I was juicing everything under the sun. My favorite concoction was apple, cucumber, and a splash of carrot....especially well chilled.

That beet juice stains EVERYTHING, be careful.

It's really refreshing to read about juicing on a cycling forum, when it's not about another kind of juicing. [IMG]/img/vbsmilies/smilies/icon14.gif[/IMG]

I've tried it 3 times recently before races. On the first 2 occasions I felt better than average, which either means, a) it worked, b) it had a placebo effect, or, c) I coincidentally had "good leg" days. :-) Eh, who knows?!

The third time I think I had it too soon before the race, and it refluxed on me a bit, and I felt terrible, so I didn't have a chance to notice how good my legs felt.

If you can get them, white beets have essentially colorless, non-staining juice. Some Italian markets here carry them from time to time.

It must take a lot of beets to make that. Juicing is great but you need to do a ton of it to make anything out of it.
