Dosage & Timing

For optimal results, Stamox should be consumed within 3 hours before exercise, as the peak value of nitrate occurs within 2–3 hours after ingestion.

For Daily Health

Mix 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of Stamox in water, juice or in a smoothie daily.

Daily Training

Mix 1-2 tablespoons of Stamox in a glass of water 2-3 hours before exercise. Stamox can also be used in smoothies, porridge, baking and more.

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 or Competition

Mix 2-3 tablespoons with water 2-3 hours before the race.

For endurance races (more than 1 hour), you can take an additional 2-3 tablespoons of Stamox closer to the start of the race.

Loading Phase (Optional for Harder Training Blocks or Races): If you are entering a harder training block or race, some find benefit in a "loading" phase, consuming a daily dose for 5-7 days leading up to the race. This saturates nitrate stores for sustained benefits.

In-Race Top-Ups (Crucial for Long Races):

  • Why it's important: For long races or trainings where you want to maintain the 'peak' during the ride and need to maintain a certain pace. Research suggests that plasma nitrite levels can decline during prolonged exercise. A mid-exercise top-up can help sustain these benefits.
  • Strategy: Consider topping up your nitrate levels every 2-3 hours during your race.
  • Dosage: A smaller dose of Stamox around 1 tablespoon (10 grams)
  • Practicality: For such long races, portability and ease of consumption is key, so we recommend having Stamox mixed into a drink.

Optimizing Your Dosage

Stamox Watts Testing

A great way to dial in your Stamox dosage is to measure your extra Watt output under different dosages. Here's a practical test you can try:

  • Baseline: Train for 30 minutes at 80% of your maximum heart rate without Stamox.
  • Standard Dose: On a separate day, repeat the 30-minute session at 80% of your max heart rate, but this time with a standard dose of Stamox (taken 2-3 hours beforehand for optimal effect).
  • No Stamox Day: Follow up with another session without Stamox.
  • Double Dose: On a subsequent day, try a double dose of Stamox (again, 2-3 hours prior).
  • Optional Triple Dose: If you're curious, you can also test a triple dose.

By comparing your Watt output across these sessions, you'll gain valuable insight into how different Stamox amounts impact your performance.

For the most accurate results, repeat this test over a period of time. Remember, your heart rate and performance can fluctuate daily due to various factors like sleep, stress, and nutrition.

Every body is unique and has its own limits. As you approach your personal peak, further gains require more precise adjustments. Since no two people are alike, it's crucial to experiment and find your optimal dose and timing for Stamox. Factors like body weight and individual physiological responses to the natural compounds in Stamox will influence its effects differently for everyone.
