BEET ELITE

BeetElite and 15s Rugby

The 15-a-side game is all about endurance. Yes, strength and stamina are important. But ultimately, you want to be able to perform at or near your peak for a full 80 minute rugby game. That’s the dream. We’ve been using BeetElite since the summer of 2015. Since then, we’ve done numerous tests on the timing of your intake as well as the prolonged effects. To sum up all that research, we suggest you take BeetElite at least 20minutes before your rugby training or rugby game starts.

We brought this time down to ten minutes but then realized that your body probably needs longer than this to get your circulation really going. Interestingly, the more cardio fitness our testing group had, the sooner they felt the benefits. So if you’re a beep test stud you can probably cut down your time before taking BeetElite a little bit.

BeetElite and 7s Rugby

Now we’re talking! BeetElite is without a doubt the best nutritional supplement we’ve found for 7s players. Especially amateur 7s players. During the course of a full day or even two day 7s tournament, you’re going to have fluctuating levels of energy linked to your caloric intake. It’s impossible to not eat during a tournament. But to stay in top shape all day, you should probably stay away from complex proteins, grains and most importantly caffeine. Coffees and energy drinks are a real killer on 7s day.

Yes, using a pre-workout supplement will get you up for your first and second games, but by 3pm with the finals looming, you’re going to crash and need to sleep. Caffeine-free nitrate supplementation is the answer. We recommend taking just a half a scoop of BeetElite about 20-30 minutes before each of your 7s games during the tournament. You won’t suffer from caffeine withdrawals and you’ll recover from the exertion faster than without a nitrate supplement.
