Razzy Beetroot Capsules: race-day nitrate in your vest
RazzyBeetroot Capsules
The race-day shot, in a capsule
- ▲Organic beetroot, 1,300 mg
- ▲2–3 h before the start
- ▲No sugar, no liquid sloshing
- ▲Loads over race week
Who this is for
Recreational and sub-elite runners, trail and ultra runners, cyclists and triathletes who want the nitrate edge the trials describe (a 1–3% gain in time to exhaustion and time-trial pace) without a $4 shot before every long run, and without 16 oz of juice in the stomach at the start line.
How to take it
Two capsules 2–3 hours before you start, with your normal pre-run breakfast. For a goal race, load for 3–6 days before: the same two capsules every morning. Test it on a long training run first, never for the first time on race day.
What's inside
- Organic beetroot powder (Beta vulgaris) in a vegetable capsule (hypromellose), with microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate
- 1,300 mg organic beetroot powder per serving (two capsules)
- 0 g sugar, 0 mg caffeine, no proprietary blend
- Made in the USA by a small family-owned business; shipped from our Colorado warehouse

The hidden cost of race-day shots
Every running forum recommends beet juice before a race, and every runner who tries it meets the same three problems: the price of the shots, the taste of the juice, and the volume in the stomach at the start line.
At $3–4 a shot before every long run, a marathon block costs more in beet than in shoes. Powders are cheaper and most of them never say how much nitrate they contain.
So the one supplement with an Australian Institute of Sport Group A listing ends up used once, on race morning, instead of loaded the way the trials did it.
Razzy Beetroot: the race-week shot, in a capsule
Dietary nitrate lowers the oxygen cost of running at a given pace. In recreational and sub-elite athletes the trials show a 1–3% gain in time to exhaustion and time-trial pace.
The trials used concentrated juice taken 2–3 hours before, and loaded for several days before a goal race. A capsule can't promise a lab-measured nitrate figure; what it can do is make the daily beetroot habit easy.
Razzy puts 1,300 mg of organic beetroot into two capsules you can carry in a vest pocket, with no sugar and no liquid.
Load for race week. Take two with breakfast on race morning. Keep the shot money.
Razzy Beetroot in every serving is made for those who want to:
- Support endurance and time to exhaustion*
- Support healthy blood flow during exercise*
- Organic beetroot, 2–3 hours before you start
Built for your race
Same two capsules, whatever you race. Pick yours and the planner prints the week.
Marathon & half
Load for 3–6 days before a goal race, then two capsules 2–3 hours before the gun: the routine you tested on your long runs.

Plan my race weekCentury, gravel & gran fondo
Two capsules at breakfast, 2–3 hours before you roll out, and your bottle cages stay free for water and electrolytes.

Enter the race and we'll print the capsule schedule, loading days included.
Nitrite in the blood peaks 2–3 hours after a dose. Loading for several days raises the baseline; the trials that showed the biggest effect did both.
What you're paying for a shot
One cycling-forum thread priced every beet product by its nitrate per serving against the research minimum of 5 mmol. The shots were the most expensive way to get there, and most powders didn't list a nitrate figure at all. That's the number we print.
Straight talk on the edge
✓ What the trials found
- ✓A 1–3% gain in time to exhaustion and time-trial pace in recreational and sub-elite athletes. On a 20-minute 5K that is 12–36 seconds, which is months of training.
- ✓Nitrate lowers the oxygen cost of running at a given pace, so the same effort feels easier. That is the "borrowed air".
- ✓Peak 2–3 hours after a dose, bigger with 3–6 days of loading. Listed as a Group A supplement by the Australian Institute of Sport.
✕ What they didn't
- ✕Elites gain less. If you're near the front of the field, your body already makes the nitric oxide training builds. The gain is for the rest of us.
- ✕It's not a stimulant. You won't feel it like caffeine; you'll see it in the splits. The running-forum sceptics are right that coffee and half a banana still matter.
- ✕No beet powder, ours included, can promise the exact nitrate of a lab-made shot. What a capsule gives you is the same 1,300 mg of organic beetroot every day, which is how the loading week works.
Three race-day rules
Test it in training first. A few runners get GI upset from beet products, usually from large juice volumes. Two capsules with breakfast on a long-run day tells you where you stand.
Skip the mouthwash. Antibacterial mouthwash kills the tongue bacteria that turn nitrate into nitrite. Brush, don't rinse, on race morning.
Expect pink. The first bathroom stop after a race can be pink from beet pigment, especially when you're dehydrated. It's harmless and clears in a day.
Built around one superfood
Many supplements pack in dozens of ingredients. Razzy takes a different approach.
Our formula is built around one idea:
What you'll find in every serving
Runner questions
Capsules or the shot?
The shot used in most studies is a concentrate with a measured nitrate figure. Our capsules are 1,300 mg of organic beetroot powder; beetroot naturally carries nitrate, but like every beet powder the amount isn't the same every day, so we don't print one. What capsules give you is daily beetroot for $1.00 a dose, with no sugar and nothing in the stomach at the start.
When exactly before the start?
Two to three hours. For a 7 am start that's 4–5 am with your breakfast. If you can't eat that early, take them with water when you wake and eat as you normally would.
Daily or race days only?
Many runners take it only for key sessions and races, with a 3–6 day load before goal races. Daily use is fine and keeps the baseline up; at $1.00 a dose it's cheaper than one shot a week.
Does it count as doping?
Dietary nitrate is legal in every federation. One science-forum thread notes some beet powders have carried trace higenamine, which is WADA-listed; if you're drug-tested, check your federation's supplement guidance before adding any beet powder.
Will it upset my stomach on the run?
Capsules avoid the main cause, which is 16 oz of juice. Try it on a long training run first. Start with one capsule for three days.
I'm on blood-pressure medication.
Beet nitrate supports healthy blood pressure and can add to your medication's effect. Ask your doctor before using it.
Can I buy Razzy Beetroot in stores?
Not yet. Razzy Beetroot is sold only at razzy.us so we can keep the price down and the batch testing in one place. Ships from our US warehouse in 2–5 days.
What ingredients are in Razzy Beetroot?
Organic Beetroot Powder (beta vulgaris) 1,300 mg per two capsules, hypromellose (vegetable capsule), microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate. No sugar, no pectin, no niacin, no colours. Made in the USA.
Is Razzy Beetroot safe to take with my current medications?
Beet nitrate supports healthy blood pressure and can add to the effect of blood-pressure medication; prescription blood-flow medicines relax vessels the same way. Tell your doctor or pharmacist before you start, keep taking what they prescribed, and if you use both, take them at different times of day.
How should I store Razzy Beetroot?
Cool, dry, lid on, out of direct sun. The kitchen cupboard is fine; the bathroom is not. No fridge needed.
What is Razzy Beetroot intended for?
For runners, trail and ultra runners, cyclists and triathletes who want the nitrate edge described in the trials without buying a shot before every long run. The gain is modest, real, and bigger in recreational athletes than in elites.
How should I use Razzy Beetroot?
Two capsules with your usual breakfast 2–3 hours before a race or key session. For a goal race, take the same dose every morning for 3–6 days before. Test it on a training run first.
How often should I take the supplement?
Once a day, two capsules, at the same time each day. Start with one capsule a day for the first three days.
How many servings are in each container?
60 capsules, 30 servings, a 30-day supply at two capsules a day.
Are there any age or health restrictions?
Adults 18 and over. Not for pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you have kidney disease, form kidney stones, take blood-pressure or blood-flow medication, or have any diagnosed condition, ask your doctor first.
What if the supplement doesn’t work for me?
Email support@razzy.us within 30 days of delivery and we refund the order. You don't need to send anything back.
What is your return policy?
30 days from delivery, full refund, no return label, no questions. Subscriptions can be skipped, paused or cancelled in one tap from the account page.
