This is my experience too. I preloaded beetjuice for a week prior to a bikepacking endurance event last week and couldn’t tell any difference during cycling. However, I did notice that my muscle fatigue following 400km in 2 days fully loaded was less than I typically would have experienced and so am wondering if the blood pressure/oxyngenation benefits reported in studies like this were most noticeable following the event and require less muscle recovery overall since they were more oxygenated during the event.
