Core
4 Nutrition is a provider of
nutritional supplements and at-home assessment services. The products that Core 4 Nutrition provides are 100% food based, not filled with chemicals
that you cannot pronounce. Why is that important, you might ask? With food based ingredients, your body can
recognize and utilize the nutrients much easier. It is much harder to process artificial or
chemical ingredients than natural ones. Your
body performs at its best when it has the optimal levels of nutrients and the
people at Core 4 Nutrition
have products to find that balance so you can perform at your best.
Some of the benefits from using Core 4 Nutrition products are easily noticed, like having more energy. The most important benefits are the ones that
you probably won’t notice though. These
include restoring and regenerating your body beginning at the cellular
level.
I reviewed one of these products a
while back, their Pure Clean Powder
(click
here for my review). It is 100%
natural beet juice powder. Scientific
research has shown that eating nitrate-rich foods on a regular basis will not
only optimize your nitric oxide levels, but will increase your athletic
performance. Some people use Nitric
Oxide boosters, but like I stated earlier, many of these powders are full of
chemicals and can have some rather nasty side effects. There was a product called SuperPump that we
used to call “SuperDump.” You can guess
why (sorry for the visual).
I did feel the difference when I took Pure Clean Powder
in the past. They just released a new
product called BEET’UMS. One of
my favorite things to do with the Pure Clean Powder
was to make lozenges with coconut oil, honey, and the beet powder. I would just suck on them and it was a great
way to take the beets without that earthy taste. The lozenges were a little on the sweet side
though.
BEET’UMS take the idea of a
lozenge to the next level. They are bite
sized, individually packaged, and taste great.
BEET’UMS are paleo,
vegan, and diabetic friendly because they are made from an organic, cocoa
butter base and flavored with a low-glycemic, plant based sweetener as well as
real-fruit extracts. Each BEET’UMS chew contains only four
carbs. Here is the full list of ingredients.
Ingredients: Fermented Beet Juice Powder (5% nitrates) ,
PlantSWEETt® (Soluble Plant Fiber, Organic Coconut Nectar, Organic Reb-A
Stevia), Erythritol, Cocoa Butter, Cacao Powder, Pomegranate Juice Powder,
Natural Flavors, CocoaNOURSIH®(Organic Raw Cocoa Powder, Organic Cacao Extract
(15% Polyphenols), Organic Cinnamon Extract, Coffee Fruit Extract, Organic
Green Tea Extract, Theobromine Extract, Blue Green Algae Extract, Red
Rooibos Tea Extract, Curcumin Extract, Organic Resveratrol Extract 98%, New
Zealand Pine Bark Extract)
I have been taking two BEET’UMS per day, one before my
workout and one after. They do not cause
any GI distress (which I may have a little sensitivity with) so it is safe to
take prior to working out. There are 30
servings (chews per bag) so if you take 2 per day, it would last 15 days. While I take 2 per day, you could probably
take one a day and still see decent results.
The cost is $34 on the Core 4 Nutrition
website. You can also order them on Amazon and if you are a Prime member,
you can get free shipping (free one-day shipping if you are ordering over $35
in that Amazon order).
Pros:
Great source of nitrates
The single serve chews are individually
wrapped and are easy to take with you
Decent price
No artificial ingredients
Taste great!
Core 4 Nutrition’s Social Media Links:
I have been extremely pleased with the
service and products from Core 4 Nutrition.
The Pure Clean Powder is great, but they really have outdone
themselves with the BEET’UMS. Now you can get your beets in a chew that
tastes great. Gone are the days of
having to deal with the earthy taste of beets.
I will continue to use BEET’UMS
in my training and they are great to keep in your purse (or backpack, AKA: man
purse). Get a bag today and let me know
what you think. I would love to hear if
you felt a difference and how you like the taste.
