Beetroot (Nature’s Nitric Oxide)
Also Known As: Red Beets, Beta Vulgaris, Dietary Nitrates
Compound Type: Vegetable Extract / Vasodilator / Pump Enhancer
Beetroot has graduated from a simple salad ingredient to a staple performance supplement. Anecdotal logs from the PE community consistently report “heavier” flaccid hangs and harder erections when consuming high-dose beet powder.
The secret is Dietary Nitrates. Beets are packed with them. Your body converts these nitrates into Nitric Oxide (NO), the signaling molecule that tells your blood vessels to relax and expand. This makes Beetroot a non-negotiable supplement for anyone focused on pumping or girth work.
How Does Beetroot Help Size?
It acts as a potent vasodilator, flooding the corpora cavernosa with blood to maximize expansion pressure during exercises.
The Science: The Nitrate Pathway
1. The NO Conversion:
Unlike Arginine (which is poorly absorbed), the nitrates in beets are absorbed in the saliva and gut, converting rapidly to Nitrite and then to Nitric Oxide. This pathway is oxygen-independent, meaning it works even better when your tissues are hypoxic (low oxygen), such as during intense clamping or pumping.
2. Endothelial Function:
A study in The British Journal of Nutrition confirmed that beetroot consumption significantly improves endothelial function and lowers systolic blood pressure. Healthy endothelium is required for the penis to trap blood (the venous leak mechanism).
3. The “Pump” Effect:
By reducing the oxygen cost of exercise, beets allow you to sustain an erection or a “pump” for longer durations. This extended time-under-tension is critical for tissue deformation (growth).
Do not use antibacterial mouthwash.
The conversion of nitrates to nitrites happens via bacteria in your mouth. If you kill these bacteria with Listerine, you destroy the effectiveness of the beetroot supplement. Swallow the powder, but don’t sterilize your mouth immediately after.
✔ The Verdict: PUMP ESSENTIAL
5/5 Stars. If you own a penis pump (Bathmate) or do Jelqing, you need this. It maximizes the expansion you get from every session. It is safe, effective, and good for your heart.

Safety Profile & Side Effects
- Beeturia: Your urine or stool may turn pink/red. This is harmless; do not panic.
- Kidney Stones: Beets are high in oxalates. Avoid if you have a history of calcium oxalate stones.
- BP Meds: Beets naturally lower blood pressure. If you are on medication for hypotension, monitor your levels.
