Juices are emerging in cycling nutrition alongside high-carb fuelling trends. Tart cherry juice, rich in antioxidants, reduces oxidative stress and inflammation and aids recovery after hard efforts. Broccoli sprout juice, developed by Swedish brand Nomio, contains isothiocyanates (ITC) extracted from sprouts. Nomio's research and double-blind placebo-controlled testing with endurance athletes showed ITC improved training responses. ITC can lower lactate production by up to 12%, reducing muscle stress, enhancing training intensity tolerance, and speeding recovery. Nomio's scientific roots include prior discovery of dietary nitrate benefits for oxygen delivery, applying plant compounds to performance.
You may already be familiar with the popularity of cherry juice - maybe you've seen practically every pro drinking a bottle of the crimson liquid at the end of a Tour de France stage. Packed full of antioxidants, tart cherry juice is a benefit to cyclists because it reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, particularly useful after hard efforts. You can find out all about that in our explainer of why cyclists keep drinking cherry juice.
One of the newest products to hit the market - and the WorldTour - is broccoli sprout juice, first developed and produced by Swedish brand Nomio. Nomio is led by scientists who also discovered that dietary nitrate - most notably found in beetroot juice - helps improve the delivery of oxygen to the muscles, so they know a little something about harnessing the power of plants for sports performance.
