Скачать или смотреть Beetroot is marketed as a performance superfood - but its real power is in vascular biology.

Beetroot is often marketed as a “natural performance booster” - but its most interesting effects happen at the level of vascular biology.

In this episode, we take a research-driven look at beetroot and dietary nitrates, including:

• How beetroot increases nitric oxide production
• What nitric oxide actually does in the body
• Blood pressure effects and endothelial function
• Exercise performance: what’s supported vs overstated
• Are dietary nitrates safe?
• Whole beetroot vs beet juice vs supplements
• Where the evidence is strong - and where it’s limited

This is not superfood hype - it’s a careful breakdown of what current research supports and what remains uncertain.

If you’re interested in longevity, vascular health, mitochondrial performance, or evidence-based nutrition, this episode will help you think more clearly about beetroot.
