Description
SIS Nitrate Shot – ride more efficiently
The SIS Nitrate Shot is a 60ml drink loaded with dietary nitrate. Your body turns nitrate into nitric oxide, which helps your muscles do the same work with less oxygen.
So you ride more efficiently at a steady effort. Studies have shown up to a 5% drop in the oxygen cost of submaximal exercise. Also, it can help blood flow to working muscles.
Key features
- Concentrated dietary nitrate in one 60ml shot
- Helps lower the oxygen cost of steady efforts
- Take 2–3 hours before your event
- Box of 12 shots

Who is the SIS Nitrate Shot for?
It suits time triallists, gran fondo riders and anyone chasing a big target. Many riders also load for a few days before an event. Because results vary, test it in training first. Then build it into your race-week routine.
What’s in the box
The box holds twelve 60ml shots. Then each shot is one serve.
A quick fuelling tip
Always test new nutrition in training before race day. So plan your carbs, fluid and salts per hour, then build that plan from drinks, gels and chews. Also, keep a note of what worked on each ride. Then on longer rides, set a reminder on your bike computer to eat and drink every 20 minutes. Because hunger shows up late, fuelling early keeps your energy steady to the finish.
