Best PURE Performance + Products


PURE Performance + Race Ready Nitrates

When to take: 5 days leading up to an event

What it does: Improves blood vessel dilation and delays fatigue

Race ready nitrates make nitrate loading prior to an event easy. It has been tailored for endurance athletes to use 5 days leading up to an event. It contains 500mg of dietary nitrates per serve, from beetroot and Oxystorm™, derived from red spinach (Amaranthus Dubius) leaves. Enhanced Nitric Oxide Pathways with Vinitrox™ has shown to improve blood vessel dilation and delay fatigue (1,2,3). It also contains 150mg of anthocyanins from New Zealand blackcurrant powder, cluster dextrin, is natural and plant-based.

PURE Performance + Race Fuel Drink Mix Bag and Sachet

When to take: Day of your event

What it does: Delivers a high level of carbohydrates and electrolytes to increase performance while minimising gastrointestinal distress

PURE Performance + Race Fuel Drink Mix aims to deliver a high level of carbohydrates and electrolytes required to increase performance while minimising gastrointestinal distress. It contains 90g of carbs per serve through a combination of cluster dextrin and fructose. Cluster dextrin has a highly branched and cyclic structure making it relatively low in osmolarity. Its low osmolarity means it will move through the stomach faster, setting it apart from linear dextrin’s (i.e. maltodextrin) and traditional carbohydrate sources (4,5). Through the use of Cluster Dextrin, PURE has created a very high carbohydrate drink that is not only palatable, but also may reduce gastrointestinal distress. Performance + Race Fuel Drink Mix Bag contains 650mg of sodium per serve and is HASTA Certified.
