About the brand

Who HumanN is.

HumanN is the Austin, Texas–based nitric oxide company behind SuperBeets Sport — the dual-certified pre-workout that's become a staple in pro and collegiate training rooms.

The brand's origin runs through real science. It was founded in 2009 as Neogenis Laboratories out of the University of Texas Health Science Center, building on the research of Dr. Ferid Murad — the 1998 Nobel Prize recipient for the discovery of nitric oxide's role in the cardiovascular system. Dr. Murad joined HumanN's Scientific Advisory Board in 2020.

The through-line across the HumanN catalog is nitric oxide production and vascular function — the biology behind blood flow, oxygen delivery, and endurance. That science drives SuperBeets Sport, the product most Sports RDs will recognize, and it's what makes HumanN different from the average beet-powder brand: the NO story is the reason the company exists, not a marketing frame bolted on later.

Why we stock them

Earned the spot.

Every brand on Nutrition Locker has to clear the bar before it reaches an RD's cart. HumanN clears it because:

Dual certification on the flagship. SuperBeets Sport carries both NSF Certified for Sport and Informed Sport — the two certifications MLB, NFL, and most collegiate programs default to. You can hand it to an athlete in any league without a second check.
A non-stimulant pre-workout with actual data behind it. The performance claim — up to ~18% greater endurance — is tied to HumanN's own clinically studied nitric oxide technology, not a proprietary blend with a label you have to squint at.
Clean label, clean ingredient list. Caffeine-free, stim-free, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, no artificial sweeteners. Nothing you have to explain to compliance or an athlete's agent.
Deployed where it counts. According to HumanN, SuperBeets Sport is in use across 150+ professional and collegiate programs, and the brand positions itself as the #1 Sports RD–recommended beet brand for endurance.
Real scientific pedigree. The company's science was seeded by a Nobel Laureate's lab. That doesn't show up on a cert badge — but it's the reason the nitric oxide thesis is credible in the first place.

What Pro RDs Say

SuperBeets Sport has become a low-friction way to get a validated, caffeine-free nitric oxide precursor into a training room — one product to order, one set of certifications to confirm, and a non-stim profile that fits into pre-practice and pre-game without interfering with whatever else the sleep and recovery plan is doing.
