Sport-Specific Stamox Fuel Guides

For optimal results, Stamox should generally be consumed 2-3 hours before exercise, as this is when nitrate levels in the bloodstream typically peak.

Cycling

Increased wattage, improved time trial performance, sustained power on climbs, reduced fatigue on long rides.

Dosage: Mix 1-2 tablespoons of Stamox in a glass of water

Timing: Take the dose 2-3 hours before the start of the training. This allows peak nitric oxide levels in your blood at the beginning of your effort. For longer sessions (more than 1 hour), you can take an additional 1 tablespoon of Stamox closer to the start of the training session.

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 3-7 days leading up to the race. This saturates nitrate stores for sustained benefits.

Dosage: Mix 1-2 tablespoons of Stamox in a glass of water

Timing: Take the dose 2-3 hours before the start of the training. This allows peak nitric oxide levels in your blood at the beginning of your effort. For longer sessions (more than 1 hour), you can take an additional 1 tablespoon of Stamox closer to the start of the training session.

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 60-90 minutes 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.

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 3-7 days leading up to the race. This saturates nitrate stores for sustained benefits.

Dosage Before a Race/Competition: Mix 2-3 tablespoons with water.

Timing: Take the dose 2-3 hours before the start of the training. This allows peak nitric oxide levels in your blood at the beginning of your effort. For endurance races (more than 1 hour), you can take an additional 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 3-7 days leading up to the race. This saturates nitrate stores for sustained benefits.

Example Strategy for a 5-20 Hour Race:

  • Race morning (2-3 hours before start): 2-3 serving of Stamox.
  • During the race (every 1-1.5 hours): Small top-up (1 tablespoon - 10 grams) doses from Stamox mixed in your bottles.

Dosage: We recommend 2-3 tablespoons of Stamox pre-race

Timing: Take the pre-race dose 2-3 hours before the start of the race. This allows peak nitric oxide levels in your blood at the beginning of your effort.

Loading Phase (Optional for Longer Races): Some find benefit in a "loading" phase, consuming a daily dose for 3-7 days leading up to the race. This saturates nitrate stores for sustained benefits.

During Race (Ultra): For very long races or trainings, consider an additional smaller dose during the race, every 60-90 minute, if your stomach can tolerate it and if you anticipate a later surge or need to maintain pace. Practice this in training!

  • Why it's important: 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 60-90 minutes during your race.

  • Practicality: For such long races, portability and ease of consumption is key, so we recommend having Stamox mixed into a drink.

Example Strategy for a 5-20 Hour Race:

  • Race morning (2-3 hours before start): 2 serving (20 gram) of Stamox.
  • During the race (every 1-1.5 hours): Small top-up (1 tablespoon - 10 grams) doses from Stamox mixed in your bottles.

Daily Training: Mix 1-2 tablespoons 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.

Running

For improved oxygen efficiency, delayed fatigue, enhanced sprint finish.

Dosage: For regular training runs (especially moderate to long distances), consider 1-3 tablespoons of Stamox 2-3 hours before your run.

Dosage: We recommend 2-3 tablespoons of Stamox (20 gram) pre-race

Timing: Take the pre-race dose 2-3 hours before the start of the race. This allows peak nitric oxide levels in your blood at the beginning of your effort.

Loading Phase (Optional for Longer Races): For marathon runners, some find benefit in a "loading" phase, consuming a daily dose for 3-7 days leading up to the race. This saturates nitrate stores for sustained benefits.

Dosage: We recommend 2-3 tablespoons of Stamox pre-race

Timing: Take the pre-race dose 2-3 hours before the start of the race. This allows peak nitric oxide levels in your blood at the beginning of your effort.

Loading Phase (Optional for Longer Races): For marathon runners, some find benefit in a "loading" phase, consuming a daily dose for 3-7 days leading up to the race. This saturates nitrate stores for sustained benefits.

During Race (Marathon/Ultra): For very long runs, consider an additional smaller dose during the race, every 60-90 minute, if your stomach can tolerate it and if you anticipate a later surge or need to maintain pace. Practice this in training!

Daily Health

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

General Considerations

For the most optimal results, we recommend following our Watts Testing guide.

Continue to avoid antibacterial mouthwash, as it can disrupt the oral bacteria crucial for nitrate conversion.

While many studies show positive effects, individual responses can vary. Some athletes may experience more significant benefits than others.

The most common side effect is beeturia (pink/red urine or stool), which is harmless. Some individuals might experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
