Nitrates in the new Peri RX

Hey guys,

I don’t live in the US so purchasing Peri RX really isn’t in the cards for me. I’m been making my own pre workout following along with your ingredients as I go along.

I have cut out the ECAAs as I am always working out just after a meal and don’t see this as being necessary.

I am however having a hard time sourcing nitrate supplements which led me to the Stronger by Science review on nitrate supplementation. Although they end up recommending organic nitrate sourcing, it seems like from what I’ve gathered I’d require 30g of beet extract per serving to get the 500mg recommend. On the other hand I could just use sodium nitrate which would be much cheaper for what SbS says is only slightly less effective.

I just wanted to know how you guys incorporate nitrate in your product, are you using beet extract or sodium nitrate?

Other than that I’ve been able to make everything else the same gram for gram. Even got some lime essence for flavouring.

Thanks for the great advice as always!

It’s extracted from beet root powder to yield the 500mg of nitrate. This is also on the label.
