I drank it for a week before doing a 400km Audax, the results were initially startling.....

Yes definitely best to be aware of the ...side-effects before you start taking it or you might get a scare. Some evidence that it can be of benefit though and super healthy. I used to take some, would be tempted to try some more now that I have a consistent log of power output to compare

I remember reading up on it. It all makes sense on paper. Why not give it a go you think! And then you try it... you’d already been warned it wasn’t pleasant... but no one said it was like eating dirt!

I have been using for about 3 weeks. I actually like beetroot anyway. The shots are expensive though. In the spirit of trying all sorts of wierd and wonderful things i am mixing collagen coffee with my daily bean to cup! And I THINK it works.

Tastes fine too. In fact no perceptible affect on a dammed fine cup of coffee👍😀

Genuine question - Is this just a method to get more protein into your body? What's the advantage of this over eating more protein or taking a protein shake? Is it simply that it can go in a cup of coffee and taste good?
I'm with you, I quite like the beetroot drinks too but then I'm a fan of beetroot generally.

Yeah, especially as an older guy and hardly eating any meat. Collagen is supposed to assist with muscle repair and soreness so an additional benefit over a protein shake. Though you can certainly add this to a shake if you want.
I’ve tried the homemade blended Beetroot about 30 mins before a 5 mile time trial. Nearly pushed the lot up 🤢
I did learn however that beetroot mixed with apple juice is actually quite nice as the apple sweetens It up and covers over the worst of the earthy taste 👍

I eat loads of beetroot generally cos I really like it, but not tried blending it. Must give that a bash.

I like eating pickled beetroot. I find a fairly big difference in taste between that and the juice though. Sweetening it up would definitely help. As would a large measure of vodka I suspect!

Most beetroot drinks have apple juice added to make them more palatable. I find them too sweet.
I think this is better than the beetroot shots, not too earthy (but I like beetroot anyway), as you can make it as strong or weak as you like and add apple juice
