What is the recommended dosage for Beetroot Extract?

Beetroot Juice: 250-500 mL/day (300-500 mg nitrate); Concentrated Extract: 500-1,000 mg/day

What are the side effects of Beetroot Extract?

Potential side effects include: Beeturia (red/pink urine — harmless), Red discoloration of stools, Mild gastrointestinal discomfort, May increase risk of kidney stones in susceptible individuals (oxalate content).

What is beetroot extract and how may it support cardiovascular health?

Beetroot is rich in dietary nitrates, which are converted to nitric oxide via the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway. Multiple RCTs and meta-analyses demonstrate that beetroot juice supplementation can reduce blood pressure by approximately 3–5 mmHg systolic. This effect is mediated by nitric oxide-induced vasodilation.

What dosage of beetroot extract has been studied for cardiovascular benefits?

Clinical trials have used beetroot juice providing 300–600 mg of dietary nitrate per day (approximately 250–500 mL of juice, or concentrated shots of 70 mL). Blood pressure effects typically appear within 2–3 hours and are sustained with daily use. Capsule or powder forms vary in nitrate content.

What are the potential side effects of beetroot extract?

Common effects include pink or red discoloration of urine and stools (beeturia), which is harmless. Digestive discomfort may occur. Beetroot is high in oxalates, which may increase kidney stone risk in susceptible individuals. Antibacterial mouthwash may reduce efficacy by killing oral bacteria needed for nitrate-to-nitrite conversion.

About

Beetroot extract is a concentrated source of dietary inorganic nitrate that provides an alternative pathway for nitric oxide production via oral bacteria. A 2013 meta-analysis of 16 RCTs found beetroot juice reduced systolic blood pressure by 4.4 mmHg. A 2017 RCT in older hypertensive adults showed -8 mmHg systolic reduction over 4 weeks.

How It Works

Concentrated source of dietary inorganic nitrate converted to nitrite by oral commensal bacteria, then further reduced to nitric oxide in the stomach and blood vessel walls; this nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway provides an alternative to the enzymatic eNOS pathway, particularly important when eNOS is dysfunctional; betalains provide additional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
