BETALYN® sport is a specific ingredient obtained from water extraction of Beta vulgaris (Beta Vulgaris Var. Rubra) rich in nitrates.
BETALYN® sport has shown to:
- Reduce the sense of fatigue during sports performance
- Nitrates supplementation reduces lung oxygen uptake (VO2) during exercise
- Enhances endurance by optimizing nitric oxide production for improved oxygen efficiency
- Improves aerobic efficiency and muscle efficiency, reducing energy expenditure during exercise
BETALYN® sport is available with the following standardization:
≥ 8,0% (UV) NO3 [nitrates]
REDUCE LUNG
OXYGEN UPTAKE
NO plays a key role in the regulation of blood
flow, muscle contractility, myocyte differentiation, and
glucose and calcium homeostasis. Furthermore, prolonged exposure of mammalian cells to NO has been shown to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis through cyclic-guanosine monophosphate-dependent pathways.
By increasing oxygen efficiency and mitochondrial function, it helps muscles work more effectively with less reliance on high oxygen consumption, improving endurance and reducing fatigue. [Cermak et al. 2012]
MUSCLE
EFFICIENCY
Optimizing both heart and lung function, nitrates promote better oxygen uptake and utilization, reducing strain on the cardiovascular system while improving endurance. In a clinical trial NO3 supplementation via beetroot juice was associated with higher exercise tolerance during supraximal intermittent exercise in subjects with VO2 max between 40-55 mL/kg*min, that is aerobic fitness level typical of sportive subjects. And for them the number of sprints completed before reaching volitional exhaustion increase of about 30%. [Aucounturer et al. 2015]

By increasing nitric oxide availability, nitrates enhance vasodilation, allowing for greater blood flow and oxygen delivery to working muscles. This results in improved endurance, reduced energy cost of exercise, and enhanced overall performance. By improving mitochondrial efficiency and reducing ATP (energy) cost during exercise, nitrates help muscles work more effectively with less oxygen consumption. This leads to better endurance, faster recovery, and prolonged peak performance in endurance sports.

Thanks to their strong ergogenic effects, BETALYN® sport NO3 supplementation has been correlated with an improvement in sports performance and tolerance to more vigorous exercises
Several scientific evidence based on in vivo studies shows that chronic supplementation of beet extract is effective in reducing the sense of fatigue during sports performance and recovery following training Research works carried out on both healthy volunteers and professional athletes demonstrated that dietary nitrates are effective in improving oxygen consumption and its tissue diffusion |
ABOUT BETALYN®
BETALYN® is derived from the rubra variety of beets (Beta vulgaris var. rubra), cultivated in Lombardy, in the flatlands of northern Italy.
Beetroot is naturally rich in betalains—potent antioxidants responsible for its vibrant color—and betaine, a compound known for its role in osmoregulation and methylation processes. Together, these bioactive compounds offer a range of potential health benefits, particularly in supporting liver function, cardiovascular health, and enhancing exercise performance.
Incorporating beetroot into the diet—whether raw, cooked, as juice, or in supplement form—can be a highly nutritious way to harness these health-promoting properties.
