Isowhey® Sports Launches Nitrate Endurance Gels For Enhanced Energy

IsoWhey Sports has added new Nitrate Endurance Gels to its range of energy supplements, designed to provide a nitric oxide boost before and during sustained, strenuous exercise.

Endurance athletes are now understanding the scientific benefits of consuming dietary nitrates, known to increase natural nitric oxide (NO) production by the body1,2. NO works in the body by relax-ing and widening blood vessels, improving blood flow, and the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to or-gans and tissues3.

Traditionally nitrates have been obtainable in the diet through eating certain vegetables such as beet-root, spinach, green leafy vegetables and turnips.

IsoWhey Sports Dietitian, Belinda Reynolds, says: “Increasing your intake of nitrate-rich foods is a great way increase natural NO production by the body. However, many find it difficult to consume the necessary amount through diet alone, which is why a supplement can prove beneficial.”

IsoWhey Sports Nitrate Endurance Gels are easy to consume and are designed to ensure a standard-ised amount of nitrate per sachet. After ingestion, nitrates are rapidly absorbed and the bioavailability is very high4,5,6.
