Study, Trial or Testing Result Summary
Members OnlyHuman studies
We found no human studies on blood pressure for the ingredients in this product, so there is no research to report on whether it lowers blood pressure. The store listing describes a powder with 3000 milligrams of beet root powder and 2000 milligrams of betaine nitrate per scoop, along with potassium. The label we hold lists only maltodextrin, a carbohydrate filler, at 6.7 grams per serving. The actual amounts of the active ingredients could not be confirmed from the label. Buyers rate it highly: about 86 percent of 2267 counted reviews are positive and 6 percent are negative. We could not read any written reviews ourselves, so we cannot say what those reviewers mention. Our separate summary of store reviews says people often report more energy, describe it as good for the heart and blood flow, and like the fruit flavor. One reviewer said it helped with high blood pressure. Taken together, reviews are favorable, but there is no study evidence given here to back a blood pressure benefit. Members should treat any blood pressure effect as unproven. Animal and cell studies are never counted.
Review Totals and Summary
Members Only19,130 reviews · 89% positive
Force Factor Total Beets has garnered approximately 19130 ratings across various stores, with a strong majority of feedback being positive; 67% of star-rated reviews give 4 or 5 stars. This supplement generally receives praise for its perceived health benefits, though recent changes to its formulation have led to some dissatisfaction regarding taste and texture. **What it did for buyers** Many customers report positive health outcomes from taking Total Beets. Users frequently mention increased energy levels and a general feeling of improved well-being. Some specifically note benefits for cardiovascular health, including better circulation and antioxidant support. A significant number of users, under medical supervision, have seen their "blood pressure and heart rate returned to within normal range," highlighting its effectiveness for managing high blood pressure. One user stated, "I like how it makes me feel," while another found "after a week or so I had more energy." **What buyers complain about** The most common complaints revolve around recent changes to the product's formula. Long-time users express disappointment, noting that the "company has changed the flavor" and texture, often for the worse. These changes have introduced "unpleasant smell and after-taste," with some describing the new "smell, taste AND texture are terrible." Another concern raised is the potential for high sodium intake from supplements in general, prompting a reminder to "be sure to read the supplement labels" carefully. Occasional issues with product availability or receiving the wrong form (e.g., chews instead of capsules) are also mentioned. **Taste, smell, and form** Feedback on taste is mixed and highly dependent on the version consumed. Some customers love the "strawberry" or "berry taste," finding it "so wonderful you want to eat more." However, those who have experienced formula changes often describe the new flavors as "synthetic" or "terrible," and the texture as "stickier." The product is primarily available as chewable tablets, which some find "easy to take" and convenient, while others express a preference for capsules. **Value for money** One customer noted switching to this brand "for the price" and found it comparable to other brands they had used previously, suggesting it offers good value. **Who it suits and who it did not** Total Beets appears to suit individuals seeking general health improvements, increased energy, and cardiovascular support, especially those managing high blood pressure under a doctor's care. It is also well-received by those who appreciate the convenience of chewable supplements. However, it may not be suitable for those highly sensitive to changes in taste and texture, particularly with newer formulations. Individuals needing to monitor their sodium intake closely should also review the supplement facts carefully. Long-term users who preferred the original formula are among those least satisfied with recent changes.
Biohacker Summary
Members Only9 of 10 recommend it
The panel's main ingredient for this product is not clearly defined, since every ingredient is listed as a smaller one, but potassium drew the most comment, with nearly all ten speaking about it. Most of them recommend or use it: several drink electrolyte mixes with sodium, magnesium and potassium first thing in the morning and during exercise for hydration, while others recommend getting enough because most people eat too much sodium and too little potassium, and they link it to healthy blood pressure, muscle and nerve function, and heart rhythm. Some prefer getting potassium from foods like bananas, potatoes and other fruit and vegetables rather than supplements, and one gave a daily smoothie amount of about 5,800 milligrams. Cautions came from two panelists: too much potassium from supplements can be dangerous, and it is risky for people with kidney disease or conditions that raise potassium levels, so they advise asking a physician; another noted that meds can flush potassium out. Beet is a smaller ingredient in this product, and three panelists use it as juice, powder or hummus, mainly to support nitric oxide before workouts.
