Study, Trial or Testing Result Summary
Members Only48 human studies · 23 improved
1 of these 48 human studies gave beetroot extract by drip, not by mouth.
Beetroot extract works mainly through its natural nitrate. The label gives 500 mg of extract per serving but does not say how much nitrate that holds, so it is unclear whether it matches the amounts used in the studies. A pooled analysis of twelve trials with 246 people found that nitrate or beetroot supplements, taken from one and a half hours to 28 days, improved blood vessel function compared with placebo. The benefit was smaller in older people and in those with higher heart risk [1]. In 16 postmenopausal women, 12 weeks of nitrate-rich beetroot extract improved leg artery and small vessel function compared with an extract with the nitrate removed [2]. A single dose of beetroot juice improved blood vessel widening two hours later in adults with and without HIV [3]. In 24 adults with leg artery disease who exercised, 12 weeks of concentrated beetroot juice helped them walk farther than placebo [4]. For blood pressure the results are mixed. Pooled trials in adults with high blood pressure found beetroot juice lowered clinic top-number pressure by about 5 points but did not change 24-hour pressure [5], and a trial of 231 adults found 5 weeks of nitrate pills did not lower blood pressure [6]. Animal and cell studies are never counted.

Review Totals and Summary

Bronson Beet Root tablets get mostly positive feedback across the stores, which carry about 174 ratings in total. Buyers like the price and how easy the tablets are to swallow, though some are still waiting to see whether they work for them. **What buyers say it did for them:** Few report a clear effect. Some long-term users are satisfied: "Seem to do as advertised. I have been using them for years." Others say it is early: "Too early to tell about all the benefits of taking these pills." One buyer hopes it will help blood pressure but reports no outcome. On the Bronson site, some reviewers mention more energy, an eased afternoon slump, and a good feeling during workouts, and one takes the tablets as a pre-workout. **What they complain about:** Complaints are few and mostly about size and throat comfort. One reviewer says tablets "can irritate the throat or get stuck" more readily than a gelatin capsule. That reviewer saw no beet-colored urine or stool and no clear benefit. One Walmart buyer never received an order: "Order never received!" The refund came through Walmart, and the problem was delivery rather than the product. **Taste, smell, pill size and form:** Most say the tablets are easy to swallow: "good product - easy to swallow." Bronson site reviewers describe them as medium-sized, round, smooth and uncoated. Some find them large, and one suspects they could be divided, crushed or chewed. One reviewer who took them as tablets says, "Capsule is easier to swallow." Taste is described as neutral, with no aftertaste, or a faintly sweet beetroot flavor, and one reviewer detects no beet taste. One notes a faint beet smell that isn't strong. Several say the tablets turn the mouth red briefly. Reviews of capsules or other forms on these pages were left out. **Value for money:** Price is a strong point. Walmart buyers say "Great Supplements at a good price" and "Well worth the price!" On Bronson's site, reviewers call the cost reasonable, with one figuring about 20 cents a day for a long supply. Bottles mentioned include 125-day and 4-month supplies and a 250-count size. **Who it seems to suit and who it did not:** It suits people who want a simple daily beet supplement without eating beets. One buyer says: "I can't eat beets... BUT I know they're extremely good for me." Couples take it together as a daily routine. Reviewers also cite trust in the Bronson brand, double-sealed packaging, and vegan, vegetarian, non-GMO, gluten-free and soy-free labeling. It suited less well those who find larger tablets hard to swallow or prone to irritating the throat, and those who want quick, noticeable results. Some were holding off judgment for a couple of months.
Biohacker Summary
Members Only2 of 10 recommend it
Only two of the ten panelists spoke about beet root, and both recommend it. One of them uses it as a natural way to boost nitric oxide and blood flow, and has taken it in a morning smoothie and as a pre-workout drink, where it was blended with other red plants such as acai and pomegranate. That same panelist also suggests taking it before hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cognitive enhancement. The other panelist recommends beet root and beet juice as among the most concentrated food sources of dietary nitrates, linked with a significant rise in nitric oxide. The one caution, from the first panelist, is that people on high doses of meds should be careful with natural vasodilators like beet root juice, because blood pressure can drop too low. Neither panelist gave a dose, and no one said they stopped using it.

Ben Greenfield · Beet Root · recommends
- Recommends beet root as a vasodilative substance to take prior to hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cognitive enhancement.
- Recommends Organifi Red Juice as a perfect pre-workout drink, describing it as a tart, sweet custom brew with nitric oxide and blood-building precursors like acai, beet, and cordyceps.
- Uses Organifi Red Juice every morning in his smoothie, noting that it contains red pigmented plants like acai, beet, and pomegranate, which he describes as "a med for your full body."
- Ben warns that if someone is on a high meds, natural vasodilators like beet root juice might not be the best thing for them as their blood pressure can drop too low.
- Uses beet root as a natural nitric oxide and blood flow enhancer, comparing its effects to a med but for the whole body.
- Ben discusses beet root, acknowledging its known role in vasodilation and opening blood vessels, but also highlights its assistance with muscle stem cell repair, formation of new stem cells, and its potential benefits for cellular and oxidative damage.
Dr. Eric Berg · Beet Root · recommends
- Dr. Berg recommends beet root and beet juice as among the most concentrated sources of dietary nitrates, and research has linked their intake with a significant increase in nitric oxide levels.

More Details
Members OnlyBody systems · Combine with · Possible side effects
Body systems: Cardiovascular system, Muscular system
Combine with: Beet root provides dietary nitrates that are converted to nitric oxide, which supports vasodilation and circulation. To amplify this, consider pairing it with L-citrulline or L-arginine, which feed a separate nitric oxide pathway through the endothelial NOS enzyme. Vitamin C and polyphenols such as grape seed extract or pomegranate extract help protect nitric oxide from oxidative breakdown. CoQ10 supports cardiac energy production and vascular health. Magnesium supports healthy vessel relaxation and blood pressure, and omega-3 fish oil supports endothelial function and healthy circulation. Avoid antiseptic mouthwash close to dosing, since oral bacteria are needed for nitrate-to-nitrite conversion. People on meds or nitrate drugs, or those prone to kidney stones, should consult a clinician first because beet root is high in oxalates.
Possible side effects: No major side effects reported in the studies. Some buyers find the tablets large or say they can irritate the throat, and several note a brief red tint in the mouth.
