How Much Beet Juice Per Day? 5 Expert Tips.

Beetroot has surged in popularity, moving from a humble root vegetable to a potent superfood, especially in the form of juice or powder. The secret lies in its high concentration of dietary nitrates, which your body converts into nitric oxide. This powerhouse molecule helps widen blood vessels, which in turn supports healthy blood pressure and can boost athletic performance.

But with all the buzz, a common question arises: How much beet juice or Stamox Beetroot Extract Powder per day is right for you?

1. Identify Your Goal: Performance vs. Blood Pressure

The optimal intake often depends on what you are trying to achieve. Research suggests different dosages and timing for general heart health compared to maximizing your workout.

In general, it is ideal to consume Stamox about 60 to 90 minutes before the event or a workout because its effect peak within 2 to 3 hours after consumption.

📈 Daily Training: Mix 1-2 tablespoons (dinner sized spoon) of Stamox in a glass of water. For longer sessions (more than 1 hour), you can take an additional 1 tablespoon of Stamox closer to the start of the training session.

🚀 Before a Race/Competition: Mix 2-3 tablespoons (dinner sized spoon) of Stamox in a glass of water. For endurance races (more than 1 hour), you can take an additional 3 tablespoon of Stamox closer to the start of the race.

🫜 Loading Protocol: To maximise the benefits before a race or significant training block, some research suggests a loading phase by taking a competition dose of Stamox daily for 3-7 days leading up to the event.

🌱 For Daily Health: Mix 1 teaspoon up-to 1 tablespoon of Stamox in water, juice, electrolytes, with citrus (will hide the beetroot flavour) or smoothies..

Stamox Tip: Stamox Beetroot Powder offers a convenient way to measure a consistent, effective dose for either goal without the sugar or hassle of juicing.

2. Focus on the Quality

A high-quality powder like Stamox can deliver a concentrated dose of nitrates in a small serving, making it more effective than a large volume of low-nitrate juice.

The nitrate content in Stamox ranges from 1.3% to 1.7%, averaging 1.5% with a +/- 0.2% variance. That means you're getting around 300 mg of nitrate in just two tablespoons.

However, it's crucial to understand that nitrate is only one component contributing to Stamox's unique benefits. You won't get the same results by simply taking nitrates on their own.

The true power of Stamox comes from the synergistic blend of nitrates, antioxidants and its other natural compounds working together.

3. Consistency is Crucial for Sustained Benefits

While a single dose can offer a temporary performance boost, the cardiovascular benefits—like lowered blood pressure—are best achieved with daily, long-term consumption.

Blood Pressure: Don't expect instant results. Studies show that a measurable reduction in blood pressure usually requires consistent daily intake over several weeks or months.
Endurance: Even for athletes, incorporating Stamox powder daily for 4–7 days before a competition may help "load" your muscles with nitrates, providing a more pronounced effect on endurance and oxygen use efficiency.

4. Be Mindful of Side Effects and Oxalates

Beetroot is safe for most people, but there are a few important, science-based considerations for daily consumption:

Beeturia (Harmless Red Urine/Stool): The vibrant red pigment, betalain, can pass through your body, turning urine and/or stool pink or red. This is completely harmless and a sign you've consumed a good dose of beets!
Kidney Stones (Oxalates): Beetroot is high in oxalates. If you have a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones, talk to your doctor before starting a high, daily intake.
Low Blood Pressure: If you are already on medication for high blood pressure or naturally have low blood pressure (hypotension), monitor your intake and consult your physician, as beet products are powerful blood pressure reducers.

5. Time Your Dose for Maximum Impact

For an acute boost in performance, timing is everything.

The 2-3 Hour Window: The conversion of nitrates to beneficial nitric oxide takes time. Consume your dose of Stamox Beetroot Powder mixed into water or a smoothie approximately 120–180 minutes (2–3 hours) before you start exercising.

Tip: Essential Stamox Use

Follow these simple tips to get the most from your Stamox beetroot powder:

Oral Bacteria: Avoid antibacterial mouthwash after taking Stamox. Your oral bacteria are needed to convert nitrates into nitric oxide.
Be Consistent: Nitrate benefits build with daily use. Maximal effect in training adaptations takes about 5–7 days. Consistency pays off for better long-term results.
