Beetroot Pro® Performance Lab

The Beetroot Pro Performance Lab is the research and content division of 902 Sports, LLC, founded in Clearfield, Utah in 2016. The Lab publishes evidence-based endurance science for cyclists, runners, and triathletes across 95+ articles covering dietary nitrate, VO2 max optimization, lactic acid buffering, and race-day supplementation plans.

Every performance claim is grounded in a specific peer-reviewed clinical study. Where the research is limited, equivocal, or athlete-type specific, we say so. The Lab does not accept sponsored content or undisclosed affiliate arrangements. The conflict of interest inherent in being a supplement company is addressed by citing research that would support any product using the same mechanisms, not just our own.

Products formulated by the Lab are manufactured in a cGMP-certified facility and undergo independent batch testing by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. Elite athletes using our formulas have passed USADA anti-doping testing at the national and international level.

Credentials & Verification

cGMP Certified Manufacturing

All products manufactured in a cGMP-certified facility verified by the FDA for quality, identity, potency, and purity.

ISO 17025 Lab Testing

Independent third-party testing by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory for every production batch.

USADA-Verified Clean Athletes

Elite endurance athletes using our formulas have passed USADA anti-doping tests, including a LOTOJA Classic course record holder.

95+ Published Articles

Over 95 research-backed articles covering dietary nitrate, lactic acid buffering, adaptogens, and endurance nutrition science.

Editorial Standards

  • 01Every performance claim references a specific published PubMed-indexed study.
  • 02No proprietary blends cited -- only ingredient amounts and mechanisms that appear in the peer-reviewed literature.
  • 03Regulatory framing follows FDA dietary supplement guidelines. Claims reference ingredients, not approved disease treatments.
  • 04Anti-doping guidance is conservative: if we cannot confirm ingredient-level absence from prohibited lists, we say so.
  • 05No sponsored content or undisclosed affiliate arrangements influence editorial decisions.
  • 06Conflicts of interest are disclosed: we manufacture the products we recommend. Our counter to that bias is citing the research that would also support competitor products using the same mechanisms.
