Even with the perfect training plan, most athletes fall short on one thing: recovery. While whole foods remain the foundation, supplements are no longer optional-they’re strategic tools to help you go longer, rebuild faster, and feel stronger session after session.

Sur Nutrition was built for this. Every Sur product is plant-based, evidence-driven, and tested in real-world performance contexts. These are not stacked formulas with filler claims. They’re streamlined, bioavailable tools designed to deliver measurable outcomes. All backed by published studies, third-party certifications, and years of field testing with serious athletes.

Here are five key benefits athletes experience with Sur’s performance line.

1. Enhanced Athletic Performance

Sur AltRed isn’t another beet powder. It’s a patented extract of betalains, the compounds responsible for beets’ red pigment-purified to preserve nitric oxide longer and reduce inflammation.

In two separate studies from the UC Davis Department of Nutrition, AltRed users saw measurable improvements in flow-mediated dilation (FMD), post-exercise inflammation, and perceived effort. One study found that betalain supplementation lowered creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), two biomarkers of muscle damage.

This translates into more oxygen per heartbeat, less fatigue, and stronger output across both aerobic and anaerobic efforts.

2. Improved Strength and Mobility

Protein alone isn’t enough. For full-body strength gains, you also need optimal digestion, nutrient absorption, and pain-free range of motion. Sur’s Organic Meal Shake delivers 23 grams of clean, complete plant protein from Puris, along with NatureKnit, a polyphenol-bound fiber matrix shown to improve microbiome diversity and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production for up to 48 hours.

To support joint health, Sur Joint Support uses FruiteX-B, a clinically validated plant-based calcium fructoborate. In one double-blind placebo-controlled trial, FruiteX-B reduced joint pain in as little as 7 days and improved mobility over a 90-day window.

When paired together, these products help maintain movement quality, reduce training interruptions, and support long-term mobility.

3. Endurance and Aerobic Efficiency

Endurance is about how well your body uses oxygen. Sur Organic Beetroot capsules support this by fueling the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway. In a landmark study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, beetroot supplementation extended time to exhaustion by improving mitochondrial efficiency and lowering oxygen cost during exercise.

Sur’s beetroot keeps betalains intact and eliminates added sugar, giving you nitric oxide support without GI discomfort.

4. Fatigue Resistance and Faster Recovery

Sur AltRed helps reduce the muscle damage that leads to next-day soreness and systemic fatigue. Betalains help reduce oxidative stress at the cellular level. Athletes supplementing with AltRed have seen measurable drops in CK and LDH, both of which are linked to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

For triathletes, runners, or anyone training five days a week or more, this support means fewer missed sessions and better consistency.

5. Immune Resilience During Heavy Training

Intense workouts can temporarily suppress the immune system, making antioxidant and polyphenol support critical for athletes training at high volume. Nutrients such as vitamin C, polyphenols, and antioxidants have been linked to improved immune function and lower systemic inflammation. In a 2020 review published in Nutrients, polyphenol-rich fruit was shown to help athletes maintain immune defense and reduce infection risk during high-load training (Nutrients, 2020). Incorporating polyphenol-rich ingredients into your recovery nutrition may help protect immune function and support long-term training consistency.

How to Choose Supplements That Actually Work

Most sports supplements are overstuffed or underdosed. At Sur, we follow four non-negotiables:

• Clinically Supported Ingredients: Every active compound is backed by peer-reviewed studies
• No Fillers or Additives: Every formula is clean, plant-based, and optimized for performance
• Built for Absorption: Our delivery formats prioritize bioavailability

Train with Purpose. Recover with Precision. Perform with Sur.

Sur’s plant-based supplements are trusted by athletes who don’t chase fads-they chase results. If you care about what goes into your body and how it performs, this is your stack.
