What Sports Drinks Miss: This Nitrate-Based Formula Actually Improves Performance
Hydration matters. But when you're competing — whether in sport, work, or life — hydration alone doesn't translate into explosive output or muscle efficiency. The real bottleneck isn't fluid — it's oxygen delivery, nitric oxide production, and mitochondrial function.
That’s where Prestige Electrolyte+ breaks through. Powered by clinically studied beetroot extract, hibiscus flower, apple juice powder, and natural stevia — it’s not just another hydration mix. It’s your daily cellular performance protocol, proven to elevate your power, protect your heart, and defend your cells.
Figure 1: This diagram shows how beetroot supplementation (BR) significantly improved sprint performance compared to placebo (PL). In part A, mean power output (MPO) was 5% higher across all sprints with BR. In part B, the most striking gains occurred in sprints 1–6 — where explosive power is critical — indicating beetroot’s role in enhancing early-phase performance. The boost is likely due to increased nitric oxide production from natural nitrates, improving oxygen delivery and muscular efficiency.

Powering Every Sprint: Beetroot Boosts Real Output
Most electrolyte powders rehydrate. Only a few enhance raw output. This clinical study proved beetroot’s performance-enhancing effect over 24 high-intensity sprints.
Output Amplified
- In Figure 1A, athletes using beetroot (BR) averaged 5% higher power output (MPOmean) over the entire sprint protocol versus placebo (PL).

Explosive First-Phase Advantage
- Figure 1B reveals that the greatest gains were in the first 1–6 sprints, where explosive strength and immediate power are critical. Beetroot helped preserve early-phase energy, suggesting improved muscle oxygenation and short-burst performance.

The Biochemistry Behind It
- Beetroot supplies dietary nitrates, which are converted into nitric oxide (NO) — a molecule that expands blood vessels, enhances oxygen delivery, and boosts mitochondrial efficiency. These mechanisms support faster energy production, reduced fatigue, and enhanced muscular recovery.

Figure 2: This diagram outlines the pathways by which beetroot (Beta vulgaris) reduces blood pressure through its conversion into nitric oxide (NO) and other active compounds. It shows enhanced antioxidant activity, decreased oxidative stress, renal protection, inhibition of inflammatory gene expression, and improved vascular relaxation — all contributing to a measurable blood pressure lowering effect.

Blood Flow Improves and Pressure Drops Without Drugs
You shouldn’t have to choose between performance and safety. The nitric oxide in beetroot helps both your vascular system and cognitive performance.
Clinically Reduces Blood Pressure
- Beetroot contains nitrates, which your body turns into nitric oxide — a natural molecule that opens blood vessels, makes arteries more flexible, and supports kidney function.
- As shown in Figure 2, this leads to better blood flow, less stiffness, and lower blood pressure overall.

Restores Arterial Flexibility
- Figure 2 also shows that beetroot improves the activity of enzymes like SGC and cGMP, which help blood vessels relax and expand.
- This improves circulation, reduces the pressure on your heart, and supports endothelial function.

Brain-Boosting Blood Flow
- Better circulation means more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the brain.
- Figure 2 illustrates how beetroot helps balance nitric oxide and superoxide, reducing stress in the vascular system. This supports mental clarity, mood, and neurological function.

Beetroot Shields Your Cells
Intense training, emotional stress, and toxins produce free radicals that damage mitochondria and DNA. Prestige Electrolyte+ combines beetroot, hibiscus, and fruit powders to combat that on a cellular level.
Shields DNA & Mitochondria
- A 2022 review confirmed that beetroot extract protects DNA and energy-producing mitochondria from oxidative stress — helping preserve long-term performance and health.

Hibiscus Reduces Inflammation Naturally
- Beetroot reduces key markers of chronic inflammation, including C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) — making it a powerful natural aid for post-exercise recovery and systemic repair.

Clean Energy and Recovery from Within
- Unlike stimulants, beetroot improves energy metabolism at the mitochondrial level, supporting aerobic efficiency, muscle oxygenation, and natural ATP production.
- This leads to improved stamina, reduced fatigue, and faster recovery — backed by human and animal trials.
