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.

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.
