Nitrabeets - Beetroot Capsules

Supports blood flow, normal blood pressure and heart health, as the front of the box says. Those rest on two nutrients at qualifying amounts: potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure, and thiamin contributes to the normal function of the heart. Two capsules carry 302mg of potassium (15% of the daily reference intake) and 0.33mg of thiamin (30%).

Per two capsules: 960mg of standardised beetroot powder providing 38.4mg of nitrate and 2.88mg of betalain, plus 302mg of potassium (15% of the daily reference intake) and 0.33mg of thiamin (30%). Sixty vegan capsules in blisters, two a day, so a box is a month.

Wellgard Nitrabeets provides 38.4mg of nitrate per two capsules, and that figure is a minimum rather than an average. The beetroot is standardised to not less than 4% nitrate and assayed batch by batch, so 4% of the 960mg serving is what the panel declares.

Because they are quoting an equivalent rather than a content. A 50:1 extract at 102mg can be described as 5,100mg, which tells you how much root went in. It does not tell you what the finished powder carries, which is why those products rarely print a nitrate figure at all.

Standardised beetroot is raw material made to a specification with a floor, instead of simply being milled and sold by weight. Here the floor is not less than 4% nitrate and not less than 0.3% betalain, tested by assay on every batch before it is used.

Betalain is the group of pigments that give beetroot its colour. Nitrabeets declares 2.88mg per two capsules, which is the 0.3% specification minimum applied to the serving.

Different formats carrying different amounts, so compare the figures rather than the format. A concentrated sports shot is built to deliver several hundred milligrams of nitrate in one go; a capsule like this one delivers 38.4mg a day, every day, without the juice. Read the number on each and pick what suits you.

Look at the nutrient panel rather than the beetroot. In Nitrabeets the nutrient to look at is potassium, at 302mg per two capsules, which is 15% of the daily reference intake. Potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. Beetroot, nitrate and betalain are stated as amounts only. If blood pressure is the reason you are looking, your GP is the right next conversation.

The ones you can check. Nitrabeets gives 960mg of standardised beetroot carrying a minimum of 38.4mg nitrate and 2.88mg betalain, printed on the panel, plus potassium at 302mg and thiamin at 0.33mg. Beetroot, nitrate and betalain have no nutrient reference value, so they are stated as amounts.

Whether you are comparing beetroot capsules UK sellers list, beetroot tablets or a beetroot extract, look for a nitrate figure on the back. If there isn't one, you are buying a weight of root and trusting the rest. Then check whether the beetroot is standardised, what the serving size is, and whether anything else is in there, since potassium and thiamin are what carry the health wording on this one.

Wellgard Nitrabeets is two capsules daily with water. If you train with weights or for endurance, the box directs two capsules 1.5 to 2 hours before your workout.

The Nitrabeets box says with water and does not specify a meal, so take them whenever you will remember. Many people make it breakfast.

Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before you start. These capsules contain 302mg of added potassium as potassium chloride, and several blood pressure medicines affect how the body handles potassium, including ACE inhibitors such as ramipril, angiotensin receptor blockers ending in sartan, and potassium-sparing diuretics such as spironolactone and amiloride. The box carries the same instruction: if on medication, consult your doctor or a medical practitioner.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist first, particularly if you take a nitrate medicine such as GTN or isosorbide, or a medicine such as sildenafil or tadalafil. The pack warning applies to any medication.

Keep taking it exactly as prescribed. A food supplement is never a reason to stop or change a prescribed medicine. That decision belongs with the doctor who prescribed it. Nitrabeets is a food supplement and is not a substitute for a varied diet, a healthy lifestyle, or anything your GP has prescribed.

Nitrabeets is a food supplement rather than a medicine. The nutrient to look at is potassium: potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. If you are comparing heart health supplements, compare the nutrient panels and the percentages, and talk to your GP about anything you already take.

It depends on what else is in them, because the useful detail sits with the nutrients rather than the beetroot. In Nitrabeets those are potassium and thiamin: potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure, to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal muscle function; thiamin contributes to the normal function of the heart.

Anyone on any medication, anyone under medical supervision, and anyone with a kidney condition, because kidneys handle potassium. Pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your GP. Keep out of sight and reach of children.

The one most people notice is beeturia. Beetroot pigments pass through some people and colour urine pink or red, which is called beeturia and is harmless. It is reported in roughly one in ten people, and more often in people who are low in iron. If it happens and you are not expecting it, this is usually why.

302mg per two capsules, which is 15% of the daily reference intake. For context, the reference intake is 2,000mg a day and a banana carries a few hundred milligrams. It is a modest amount in dietary terms, but it is still added potassium, which is why the medication question above matters.

Potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal muscle function. Two capsules carry 302mg, which is 15% of the daily reference intake. If you have been reading about potassium for blood pressure, that is the wording the nutrient carries and the amount this product provides.

If you have been looking at a thiamine supplement on its own, this is the same nutrient. Thiamin, also called vitamin B1, contributes to normal psychological function, normal energy-yielding metabolism, and the normal function of the heart. There is 0.33mg per serving, which is 30% of the daily reference intake.

At 30% of the daily reference intake it clears the level needed to carry its own wording, and those three contributions suit the rest of the formula. It is there to do a job rather than to lengthen the list.

Yes. The capsule shell is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is plant-based, and there is no gelatine. Sixty vegan capsules to a box.

Nitrabeets are a standard capsule taken two at a time with water. If capsules are difficult for you, Wellgard also makes Vegan Beetroot Gummies, which are chewed instead.

The capsules are the measured one: standardised beetroot with the nitrate and betalain figures printed, plus potassium and thiamin. The gummies are the easy one, chewed rather than swallowed, for anyone who would rather not take a capsule. Compare the panels and pick the format you will actually keep up with.
