Martha Stewart says her cardiologist recommended beetroot powder. Despite the Ozempic comparison in Fox News’ headline, it isn’t a proven alternative.
The research behind beetroot’s potential benefits centers on its naturally occurring dietary nitrates. Your body converts these compounds into nitric oxide, which helps blood vessels relax and supports circulation. In a University of Exeter study, older adults who drank nitrate-rich beetroot juice for two weeks experienced lower blood pressure, although younger adults did not show the same effect.
Beetroot juice has also been studied for its potential to support exercise performance and endurance. Results vary, and much of the research involves juice or concentrated juice. Those findings don’t automatically apply to every beetroot powder, since nitrate content and serving sizes differ.
Wondering how to use beetroot powder? Blend a serving into your favorite smoothie or juice, or stir it into yogurt, following the product’s directions. Our MycoNoura Beet Microgreens + Beet Root Powder combines beet root with beet microgreens for a convenient addition to your everyday routine.
