What's in Your Beet Juice? Nitrate and Nitrite Content of Beet Juice Products Marketed to Athletes.
The study looked at how much nitrate is in different beet juice products, but it didn’t measure it the same way the claim does—so we can’t tell if powder really has more nitrate per gram than liquids have per milliliter.
