OxyStorm® Nitrate Powder | 75 g | German Elite Nutrition

OxyStorm® Nitrate by German Elite Nutrition

OxyStorm® is a concentrated nitrate powder by German Elite Nutrition, derived from the leaves of Amaranthus dubius (red spinach) and standardized to 9% nitrate. It provides 90 mg of nitrate per gram. The powder is unflavored and fully soluble, making it easy for athletes to stir into their pre-workout drink or a regular glass of water. One container holds 75 grams, enough for 75 servings. It is a sports nutrition product designed to supplement your nitrate intake around your workouts.

What OxyStorm® is and how it compares to beetroot powder

OxyStorm® is the brand name of a nitrate-rich amaranthus extract developed by Arjuna Natural in India. Amaranthus dubius is naturally one of the richest plant-based sources of nitrate available. A water-based extraction process concentrates the nitrate to 9% of the extract's weight. For comparison, beetroot powder usually contains 1 to 2% nitrate, and many beetroot juices contain even less. This means you get significantly more nitrate per gram with OxyStorm® than with the same amount of a beetroot product. Another difference lies in its composition: the extract has a neutral pH and contains no oxalates, which are naturally present in beets. For athletes who want to precisely dose their nitrate intake without drinking liters of beetroot juice, this is a practical advantage. Amaranthus is also eaten as a pseudocereal, but OxyStorm® is made purely from the leaves, which contain the most nitrate. Because the amount of nitrate per gram is standardized, you know exactly how much you are taking with every scoop, which varies much more in fresh leafy greens or juice.

Concentrated nitrate from leafy greens

Nitrate (NO3) is a natural component of your diet. The exact same form of nitrate is naturally found in leafy greens such as spinach and arugula, as well as in red beets. OxyStorm® provides these plant-based nitrates in an unflavored, concentrated powder form, allowing you to decide how much you want to take. Leafy greens contain a much lower and more variable amount of nitrate than a standardized extract. Nitrate itself is therefore not an exotic substance, but a natural component of your diet that is simply much more concentrated in this amaranthus extract.

Unflavored powder for your pre-workout

Its ease of use lies in its neutral taste. OxyStorm® has no beetroot flavor, no color, and no sugar, allowing you to mix it into almost any training drink without it being noticeable. Dissolve 1 gram in 200 to 300 ml of water or add it to your pre-workout, stir briefly, and you're done. No heat or shaker is needed. According to the label, it is best taken 30 to 60 minutes before training. This makes it an easy addition to your routine before a workout or competition. Because the powder has no flavor of its own, it will not alter your familiar pre-workout mix.

75 grams per container: dosing with the measuring scoop

The container includes a measuring scoop that measures exactly 1 gram, the recommended daily amount. With 75 grams per container, you have enough for 75 servings, or approximately two and a half months with daily use. The powder is entirely plant-based, derived from amaranthus leaves, and therefore suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is gluten- and lactose-free. In short: a compact, unflavored source of nitrate that is easy to incorporate into your existing routine, whether you are preparing for running, cycling, or strength training. Store the container in a dry place and keep it tightly closed to preserve the powder for longer. And because a serving is only 1 gram, a 75-gram container lasts a long time without taking up much space in your cupboard. The measuring scoop helps you maintain the same daily amount, which is useful if you want to track your nitrate intake.
