Here's the short list of products top riders are using at the Tour to make it through three weeks of the hardest racing on earth. This is the stuff I wish I'd known five years ago.
Right now, the fastest athletes on the planet — riders grinding through three weeks at the Tour — are running a layered performance stack that most recreational athletes have never heard of. Let me break it down.
Nomio
This is the product everyone in the peloton is losing their minds over. The science: Nomio condenses 6.5 pounds of broccoli sprouts into a single 60ml shot, delivering a massive dose of isothiocyanates that flip on your body's NRF2 cellular switch.
In plain English: your body clears lactate faster. You push harder with significantly less leg burn. Studies show roughly a 12% reduction in blood lactate for the same effort.
Timing matters here. Take it 2–3 hours before your key effort — it's a cellular switch-flipper, not a quick fuel source. And here's the kicker: it works on an entirely different pathway than beets, meaning you can stack the two for the ultimate combo.
Amacx Beet Shot
The Amacx Beet Shot delivers 500mg of nitrates per shot. Your body converts that into nitric oxide, which widens blood vessels and floods your working muscles with oxygen. You push harder, longer, before the burn sets in.
Most beet products taste like dirt. This one doesn't. Smooth, juice-like, barely any beet flavor. Easiest one on the market to actually choke down consistently.
Take one every morning to let the benefits compound. Forgot? Down one 2 hours before your workout and it still does the job.
SwissRX Nitric Oxide Pro
Our top-selling performance booster, and the secret ingredient is black garlic. No, you won't get garlic breath.
SwissRX Nitric Oxide Pro, like the beet shot, is a nitric oxide play — but it comes at it from a different angle. Most boosters give you one quick pulse and fade in an hour. This one works all day. That's exactly why it stacks so well with the beet shot: the shot floods you with nitrates, the Pro keeps your levels elevated long after.
Two capsules every morning. One rule that makes or breaks it: no mouthwash. Nitric oxide is made by natural bacteria in your mouth, and mouthwash wipes them out. Skip it.
Maurten Bicarb
The final piece. Beets help you produce less lactate. Nomio helps you clear it faster. But when you push deep into the red at the end of a hard Tour stage — or your hardest interval of the week — the floodgates open anyway.
That's where Bicarb saves you. Lactic acid is acid. Bicarb neutralizes it and stops the leg burn. It essentially removes the governor from your engine.
You're taking this for performance, not taste. Just choke it down. And don't save it only for race day — use it once a week during your hardest training session to unlock a new level of adaptation.
Run this stack. You'll understand why the Tour peloton is obsessed.
