For the study, eight men (ages 19 to 38) drank about 17 ounces of organic beetroot juice each day for six consecutive days before completing a series of cycling-based fitness tests. Tests results revealed that the men were able to cycle for an average of 92 seconds longer after drinking the beetroot juice (compared to their cycling times after six days of drinking blackcurrant cordial).
