The Science of Performance: Your Personalised Beetroot Juice Cycling Dosage and Protocol

Nov 8, 2025

Stop guessing your Stamox Beetroot Powder pre-training/race dose. The strategic use of dietary nitrate, delivered efficiently through Stamox beetroot powder, is a scientifically validated tool for boosting cycling performance.

The Secret to Personalized Power

Simply taking a shot isn't enough; maximizing gains requires a precise dosage and protocol tailored to your unique physiology. For every athlete seeking an edge, the timing and dosage of your Stamox intake are crucial.

This guide provides a clear, science-backed protocol, referencing official bodies like the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). This ensures you consume the optimal nitrate dosage needed to effectively lower the O2 cost of submaximal cycling—a key factor in endurance success.

The Stamox Watts Testing Method

Because individual factors like body weight and metabolic rate mean no two athletes are identical, the peak effect of nitrate typically occurs 2–3 hours after consumption. To truly find your optimal dose, objective measurement is essential.

The best way to dial in your Stamox dosage is through a practical, structured test: the Stamox Watts Testing method. This plan measures your extra Watt output under controlled conditions, helping you find the precise dose that delivers your unique personal peak performance gain.

Stamox Watts Testing: A Practical Protocol

This test is designed to be simple and repeatable. Use a power meter on your bike or a treadmill with Watt measurement. Maintain a consistent environment each time. Schedule rest days between each test session. This ensures fresh legs for the most accurate results.

Step 1: Establishing Your Baseline

First, you need a control measure. This is your starting point.

  • Action: Train for 30 minutes.
  • Intensity: Maintain 80% of your maximum heart rate (HR).
  • Dosage: Do this without any Stamox beetroot powder.
  • Measure: Record your average Watt output for the entire 30 minutes. This is your power baseline.

Step 2: The Standard Dose Test

Now, introduce the recommended dosage. This is the amount most users start with.

  • Action: Repeat the 30-minute session.
  • Intensity: Again, maintain 80% of your max heart rate (HR).
  • Dosage: Take a standard dose of Stamox. Take it 2-3 hours beforehand. This ensures optimal effect.
  • Measure: Record your new average Watt output. Compare this to your baseline. You should see a noticeable increase.

Step 3: The No Stamox Day (Recalibration)

It is important to reset your system. This helps ensure your results are not cumulative.

  • Action: Follow up with another 30-minute session.
  • Intensity: Again, maintain 80% of your max heart rate (HR).
  • Dosage: Complete this session without Stamox.
  • Measure: Check your Watt output again. It should be close to your baseline. If it is higher, you might be slightly overtrained.

Step 4: The Double Dose Challenge

If the standard dose helped, a larger dose might help more. This step tests your upper limits.

  • Action: Repeat the 30-minute session on a new day.
  • Intensity: Maintain 80% of your max heart rate (HR).
  • Dosage: Try a double dose of Stamox. Take it 2-3 hours prior to the test.
  • Measure: Record this Watt output. Compare it to the standard dose results. You are looking for an even greater gain. If performance plateaus or drops, the standard dose is likely your peak.

Step 5: Optional Triple Dose Check

This is for the truly curious athlete. It helps define the absolute limit.

  • Action: On a subsequent day, repeat the 30-minute test.
  • Intensity: Maintain 80% of your max heart rate (HR).
  • Dosage: You can also test a triple dose.
  • Measure: Record the Watt output. Use caution if you experience any discomfort. This extreme dose is generally unnecessary for most people.

Finding Your Personal Peak

By comparing your Watt output across these sessions, you gain valuable insight. You learn how different Stamox amounts impact your power. This process is crucial because every body is unique. No two people are alike. Factors like body weight influence the effects of Stamox. Individual physiological responses also differ greatly.

To ensure the most accurate results, repeat this test over a period of time. Daily fluctuations are normal. Your heart rate and performance can vary. Factors like sleep, stress, and nutrition affect performance. Testing multiple times smooths out these daily variations.

As you approach your personal peak, further gains require more precise adjustments. You need to experiment to find your optimal dose and timing. Use the Stamox Watts Testing method. Unlock your greatest potential power. Take the guesswork out of your performance plan. Start testing and find your optimal Stamox beetroot powder dosage today.

FAQ

Why Stamox®?

Stamox beetroot extract powder is a science-backed superfood powder that maximizes the proven benefits of beetroot through a superior process:

  • 100% Premium Beetroot: Sourced from the highest quality red beetroot.
  • Patented & Potent: A unique extraction ensures a stable, reliable strength in every batch.
  • Nutrient-Preserving: Processed to lock in essential micronutrients.
  • Pleasant & Versatile: A fine powder with a fresh taste for easy dosing.

Can I just drink normal beetroot juice?

You would have to drink a lot of "regular" beetroot juice to achieve a good effect, and the amount you need to drink will vary enormously.

There are many types of beetroot juice available for purchase. But the "strength" of these is not further described, defined and tested. You can use beetroot or beetroot juice, but the effect will be unpredictable and usually less effective, or have zero effect. It is simply not possible to create a predictable training program with regular beetroot juice.

What are the Nitrate and Antioxidants Levels?

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.

Timing & Dosage

  • Timing: Consume your pre-race dose 2 to 3 hours before the start line. This allows peak plasma nitrite levels (the active compound) to align with your race start.
  • The Mix: Dissolve the powder in a small amount of water or mix it into a non-antiseptic smoothie (avoiding mouthwash or chewing gum during the loading period, as this eliminates the bacteria needed for NO conversion.
