Function

  • Nutritional Value: Beet root extract is a rich source of essential nutrients, including vitamins (such as vitamin C), minerals (such as potassium and magnesium), and dietary fiber. It also contains significant amounts of nitrates, which can be converted into nitric oxide in the body, promoting vasodilation and improving blood flow.
  • Antioxidant Properties: The extract is rich in betalains, such as betanin and vulgaxanthin, which are potent antioxidants. These compounds help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, protecting cells from damage.
  • Cardiovascular Health: The high nitrate content in beet root extract can help lower blood pressure by promoting the production of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and improves circulation. It may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by improving overall vascular health.
  • Exercise Performance: Beet root extract has been shown to enhance athletic performance by increasing nitric oxide levels, which can improve oxygen delivery to muscles and delay muscle fatigue. It can also improve endurance and reduce the perception of effort during physical activity.
  • Digestive Health: The dietary fiber in beet root extract can support healthy digestion by promoting regular bowel movements and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome.
  • Anti-inflammatory Effects: The polyphenols and betalains in beet root extract have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation in the body and manage chronic inflammatory conditions.
  • Detoxification: Beet root extract contains compounds that support liver function and detoxification processes, helping to remove toxins from the body.
