Endurance Crystals

The new performance product developed by Racing Pigeon Mall

An improvement upon Concentrated Beet Juice or Powder

Endurance Crystals are a concentrated form of all the endurance and cardio vascular benefits available in Red Beet Juice extract or powders. With additional ingredients that Turbo Charge the Nitrate delivery process, extending Nitric oxide production to the blood by as much as 12 hours.

Endurance Crystals also have muscle enhancing ingredients that benefit training and racing. During the exertion of a race, Endurance Crystals reduces lactic acid and ammonia build up, protecting the body from symptoms of acidosis and muscle fatigue, thereby raising the level of overall physical performance.

Though Endurance Crystals contains nitrate and nitric oxide producing ingredients, we recommend you also use our Spinach powder with the Endurance Crystals, as Spinach has over twice the nitrate levels found as beets and a much higher lever of vitamin C which helps preserve the nitrates from oxidation breakdown.

Another benefit of using our spinach powder with the Endurance Crystals instead of Concentrated Beet Juice, is that recent studies have shown that the level of nitrates in spinach powder is very standard across batches tested while the nitrate levels in Concentrated Beet Juice varies substantially from batch to batch and vendor to vendor.

This difference between the two sources might well be that when the beets are juiced much of the pulp is discarded and it is in that pulp that much of the nutrient value and antioxidants are stored.

Spinach powder on the other hand has probably the highest concentrations of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants known for any vegetable source. Spinach powder is also very rich in phytonutrients such as carotenoids (beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin) and flavonoids to provide you with powerful antioxidant protection and of course contains twice the available nitrates than beets.

Therefore, we highly recommend also using our spinach powder product and the Endurance Crystals together, as this combination better control nitrate delivery and extends the time period over which the nitrates are present in the bloodstream.

With this combination, you have two pathways for nitrate delivery. The added ingredients in our Endurance Crystals, are absorbed and then broken down in the liver and with enzymes to produce nitric oxide which dilates the blood vessels and improves oxygen ustilzation. At the same time, the nitrates in the spinach powder are broken down by the bacteria in the gut into nitrites and then from nitrites to nitric oxide. The combination of these two nitrate to nitric oxide delivery systems, allows more nitric oxide to be present in the bloodstream over a longer period of time, extending increased oxygen utilization for a longer period over the length of the race.

When given during the week in conjunction with our Endurance Crystals, this combination will exceed the benefits achieved from Beet Juice Concentrate as the increased nitrate - nitrite conversion rate will enhance oxygen utilization during the race.

A recent study, identified four friendly bacteria strains that work within the digestive tract to convert; nitrates into nitrites (NO2) and then further break down nitrites into Nitric Oxide (NO1 or just NO), thereby enhancing the availability of Nitric Oxide in the bloodstream. I am pleased to report that our 12 strain Bio-Fresh probiotic product, carries all four of these scientifically proven friendly bacteria, including the one probiotic strain that is 10 times more productive than all the other strains tested. High quality Nitric Oxide production is dependent upon a few bacteria strains which are capable of converting nitrates to nitrites and then those nitrites to Nitric Oxide (NO3 => NO2 => NO).

Nitric Oxide, works as an all natural Vasodilator, which opens (dilates) blood vessels. Vasodilators work directly on the muscles in the walls of your arteries, preventing the muscles from tightening and the walls from narrowing. As a result, blood flows more easily through your arteries, and your heart doesn't have to pump as hard. As an added advantage, Nitric Oxide, increases the amount of work that can be completed, by reducing the amount of oxygen necessary to maintain racing flight. If the oxygen requirements of your birds is lowered, your birds will be able to fly longer, harder and faster, without fatigue setting in.

It is against the AU rules to dope your birds with vasodialators, and doping tests will find the known drugs used to accomplish this. However, natually produced nitric oxide, from the supplements I add to Endurance Crystals, and the nitric oxide converted by friendly bacteria in the pigeon's digestive tract, are natural, legal, and not screen by AU drug testing protocols, because the body produces them naturally and all we are doing is enhancing the ability of the body to produce nitric oxide via it's own natural processes.

I should point out that the nitric oxide effect is only a small part of the performance boost delivered with Endurance Crystals. About 90% of the performance boost found in Endurance Crystals, has nothing to do with the nitrate cycle. The nitrate to nitric oxide cycle itself only gives about a 2 - 4% performance boost. It is the combination of all the ingredients found in the Endurance Crystals, that gives the total boost which scientists have observed in endurance athletes and which the scientific studies have reported, these last few years.
