  • Beta vulgaris — increases peak power output

    Evidence strength: moderate.Finding
    “These data revealed that despite no differences in mean power (p = 0.796) between the two supplementation groups, peak power was significantly higher in the BJ vs. placebo group (5.4%; p = 0.034) and a trend toward significance was observed (p = 0.055) in time-to-peak power (−8.4% for BJ vs. placebo).”
