If you’re leading a vegan lifestyle, you need more vitamins and minerals in your diet than just vitamin B12. If you exercise regularly or want supplements that can assist in muscle and joint recovery or overcoming energy slumps naturally, there are vegan supplements that can help.

The best vegan workout supplements to help boost your energy, increase muscle and joint recovery, and improve circulation are AltRed and Beet Root from Sur Nutrition. In this article, we’ll explain the benefits of vegan supplements over supplements made from animal byproducts or synthetic materials, as well as the top vegan workout supplements from Sur Nutrition!

Why Choose Vegan Supplements?

Plant-based supplements for health can help prevent nutrient deficiencies while providing a wide range of benefits. These supplements may have some advantages over synthetic supplements–evidence suggests that plant-based supplements are absorbed more easily by the body because they are made with natural ingredients. This means your body can process the nutrients more quickly and you will start to notice the effects faster than you would with synthetic supplements.

Because of their faster absorption rate, vegan supplements may have fewer side effects. They are generally considered to be less likely to cause allergies because they are made with simpler ingredients and are derived from natural sources. Synthetic supplements, on the other hand, can be filled with preservatives, artificial sugars, and other unnatural chemicals.

Additionally, vegan supplements are considered to be more ethical to consume. These supplements are not made from animal byproducts where the animals are often raised in poor conditions. 

AltRed

AltRed is our top-performing vegan workout supplement made from only beet root extract, but it has been standardized to contain 25% betalains. This supplement is designed to help expedite recovery after your workout, support increased sports performance and endurance, and help reduce muscle damage from exercise. 

This supplement comes in a capsule form and should be taken approximately one hour before exercising. If you plan on exercising for an extended period of time, such as running a marathon, it is recommended to take an additional AltRed capsule every two hours.

How It Works

Betalains are the key component in this supplement. Betalains are a class of water-soluble pigments that are naturally found in plants; they have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. So, why is this good for exercise?

These pigments use their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to reduce inflammation in your joints and muscles as you exercise, as well as to lower oxidative stress. This can improve the time it takes for your joints and muscles to recover and can raise your lactate threshold to delay fatigue during high-intensity performance. AltRed may be able to help protect muscle tissue from damage.

Beet Root

Beet root is a powerful vegan supplement for working out. Our beet root supplement has one ingredient: organic beet root powder. This is all you need in this supplement because beet root is a superfood, packed with nutrients that can provide you with a wealth of benefits.

We recommend you take two capsules per day with an eight-ounce glass of water. One bottle of our beet root supplement contains 120 capsules, which means you have a two-month supply.

How It Works

As we mentioned before, beets are a superfood that contain essential vitamins and minerals. Like our AltRed vegan workout supplement, our organic beet root powder contains antioxidants and betalains. It also contains nitrates and polyphenols.

Nitrates improve blood flow to the muscles by converting to nitric oxide when consumed. Nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels, which allows for increased oxygen delivery during exercise. This ultimately enhances your athletic performance. Polyphenols act like antioxidants by reducing oxidative stress caused by exercise, which can help lead to faster muscle recovery.
