Beets Juice Powder – The King of Nitric Oxide, Blood Boosting, Detoxification and More*
These are a potent vegetable that many people are aware of some of the health benefits of. But how often do you eat them? Even otherwise healthy people like myself probably find the answer is not much…
Sure, you may occasionally have some beet juice, some roasted beets as a side, or beet borscht but how often is that really? Hopefully you’ve tried fermented beet kvass once in your life…but most people probably haven’t even heard of that.
When you read about all the benefits beets can bring, as you’ll find below, you’ll find out why you want to eat these for more regularly. While we completely encourage you to do so, the fact is that you may still find you’re not getting enough.
And that’s where our great tasting, 100% organic, cold-processed beet juice powder comes in.
Beets and Nitric Oxide
One of beets most popular benefits comes from the dietary nitrates it provides.
Nitrates were thought to be inert substances; however, it has been discovered that the human body, actually the bacteria we house in our microbiome specifically, enzymatically transform these to form nitric oxide or NO.
What does this mean for you? NO is necessary for proper blood flow and functioning. Most notably:
- NO is important for healthy heart function.*
- NO is important for supporting athletic function and workouts, increasing recovery, decreasing fatigue, and providing better energy.*
- NO is important for erectile function.*
- NO is important for brain function.*
Yes, nitric oxide is important for both the things that guys think with 😉
The nitrates in beets have been found close to 100% bioavailable through digestion. 3
Multiple studies have looked at the benefits of beets and nitrates and have found them to be effective for supporting healthy endothelial function.*4
Multiple studies have also found that nitrates and beets to be effective in supporting healthy blood pressure.*5
And you would think that beets and performance in the bedroom has been studied, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find any research on it, not even in mice or rats. So, it is theorized to work through the same nitric oxide supporting effects that are responsible for normal erectile functioning.*6
Natural nitric oxide supplement is just ONE of the many components and benefits of organic beet juice powder though…
That Red Color…Antioxidants!
Another powerful group of compounds inside beet roots are betalains.
These are further grouped based on colors. The red-violet color in beets come from betacyanins. There is also yellow-orange betaxanthins present. These are powerful antioxidants that work to quell oxidative stress in the body.*1
Juiced beets run red just like your blood, a clue to the positive effects they have on it.*
One of these antioxidant compounds is known as betanin. “Betanin’s high antioxidant activity appeared to stem from its exceptional electron donating capacity and ability to defuse highly reactive radicals targeting cell membranes”*1
But that is just one of many antioxidants. Others include rutin, epicatechin, caffeic acid and more. Even the nitrates have been shown to have antioxidant benefits.*
While research is still early, a review on the literature concluded, “This raises the possibility that beetroot’s antioxidant potential is not limited to just scavenging and suppressing [free radicals], but includes the ability to reinforce the endogenous antioxidant network.”*1
If true, that means that beet juice powder can not only support your body directly but helps it better support itself.*
DMG and TMG (aka Betaine) Support Detoxification
Dimethylglycine and trimethylglycine (the latter of which is also known as betaine, since it was first derived from beets) are other potent molecules found in beets.
Both of these are methyl donors, with DMG having two molecules to donate, and TMG having three.
The process of methylation involves attaching these methyl donors to proteins, including enzymes, hormones and even DNA and RNA, as well as to heavy metals.
While methylation plays many roles in the body, the most notable is that it helps your body to detoxify various toxins.*7 Supporting methylation is extra important today because of the added pollution we’re all under.
Plus, in rats, beet juice showed increased activity of phase II detoxifying enzymes.*1
Beet Juice Powder for Athletes
While some studies have provided contradictory results, many have found positive benefits. A systemic review stated:
“The available results suggest that supplementation with beetroot juice can improve cardiorespiratory endurance in athletes by increasing efficiency, which improves performance at various distances, increases time to exhaustion at submaximal intensities, and may improve the cardiorespiratory performance at anaerobic threshold intensities and maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max).”* 8
In short, more nitric oxide supplements allow for greater muscle function, which can impact your performance.
Beet Juice Powder for Cognitive Function
Blood flows to the brain. As such you might expect this can bring some beneficial effects.
“It is conceivable that a NO generator like beetroot has the potential to improve cerebrovascular blood flow and challenge detriments in cognitive function.”*1
A high nitrate diet, including organic beet juice powder showed, via MRI, increased blood flow to the frontal cortex, a part of the brain responsible for executive function, working memory and task switching.*9
Limited research has been done in this area. In one study of older type 2 diabetics, nitrate rich beet juice taken for two weeks saw increases in reaction time, though not in the other cognitive tests done.*10
It’s not going to be a powerful nootropic…but it’ll likely keep you healthier so that everything works better over time.*
Historical Use of Beets
Many of the historical use of beets for various conditions has not been heavily investigated at all. Some of these include:
• Ulcers*
• Hemorrhoids*11
• Assisting in Menstrual Health*
• Anaemia*
• Headache*
• Eye Health*
• Cleansing the Colon*
• And more
Famous herbalist, Nicholas Culpepper said of beets that “The juice of it openeth obstructions both of the liver and spleen and is good for the headache and swimming therein, and turnings of the brain.”*

The beets are then juiced and dried with a patented cold-temperature process that preserves nutrients well.
Every 10 gram dose contains:

Note: There is a tiny amount (less than 2%) of silicon dioxide used as an anti-caking agent. This same compound is found naturally in many founds…including beets! The fact is that silica is likely a necessary component of our diets. (This is probably in any other beet juice powder on the market too…even if they don’t say it is.)
Our powder tastes great. Beets contain natural sugars, so unlike many of our other herbs, this one tastes sweet. That also makes it a great herb to using in mixing with others.

How to Take Beet Juice Powder
One tablespoon is approximately 10 grams of powder. This is the equivalent to almost half a cup of beets juiced.
Add a tablespoon to water or any other liquid and stir it in. It will readily dissolve without leaving any clumps.

Alan –
Of course there is a difference – are you serious ??
Alan –
Is this made from beets or beet roots ?
Justin Snyder –
Is there a difference?

Tried Beet juice for two months. More energized morning wood . I am diabetic and read some literature saying beets contain high levels of sugar bad for diebetics so I came off it for two months now. I must say I am experiencing less fire power and intend to try dried beets. Would this help for both situations ?

I bought this in October and started using it in November 2017. It definitely gives me a lot of energy boost and enhances my workout. It is definitely a great product for me. Thanks Lost Empire.

I started ordering beet juice powder for my wife. She ask me one night what i was taking- i was mixing cistanche. She tried it and about 30 minutes later she says my legs arent hurting. She had smoked much of her life and the cistanche help her circulation. She tried this a few days. Her legs would start hurting when it wore off, quit hurting when it took effect. So started using beet juice powder with same if not better effect . I use beet juice powder mixed with black ant and cordecyps millitaris before workouts, this gives me extreme energy, strength and endurance. I can feel the better circulation when the beets kick in.

One thing i noticed is as soon as taking it my hearbeat increased! You can just tell its high quality, and fresh, also has a pretty nice taste! I honestly did not notice any oustanding benefit,but i am more than sure of the positive effect it had on my organism! Would recommend to anyone looking to boost their blood flow, or just a more healthier, and diverse diet!

I tried one bag a few months ago. Now I have to confess, I am not that fond of beets and did not much care for the taste of the powder, finding it somewhat overpowering (like concentrated and then some) but discovered that if I mixed it with the Goji Berry powder it was really a very different taste altogether and very easy to enjoy. While I was taking the stuff I did not really notice any difference I could put a finger on in how I felt, but within 3 or 4 days of running out of it I noticed a serious difference in how I felt that I can only describe as being akin to “running out of gas”. Many times this is how herbs seem to work for me, no drastic improvement overnight that amazes, but stop taking it and you realize what the herb was doing for you because the benefits are gone! All things being equal, if you can find a way to enjoy the flavor of the Beet Powder, you will definitely benefit from its use, no two ways about it. Just remember that it is often quite subtle in the way it works, but it most assuredly works!!!

Have been using beet juice powder for about 4 months now. I like to wake in the morning and mix beet juice powder with goji berry powder. I’ll mix some pine pollen and some horny goat weed and some black ant powder also some times. I’ll put it all together and mix it with organic beet juice and drink. The goji berries give it a much better flavor.
I swish it’s around in my mouth before swallowing
It give me much better performance in and out of the bedroom
Highly recommend giving it a try

I purchased the beet juice powder for my wife. She was involved in a near fatal auto accident last November. She broke no bones but suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury, (with Diffuse Axonal Injury). She was in a coma for nearly six weeks and upon awakening had lost movement to most of the left side of her body, including her left eye being closed. She is currently in a brain rehabilitation center and will be there until at least February, 2018. I had read numerous articles outlining the benefit of beet juice for Alzhiemers patients by improving cognitive function. I approached the doctors at the center about introducing the beet juice to her diet. They researched it and cleared it. She has been taking the beet juice now for three months and I, as well as her nurses, have seen an increase in her cognitive ability. I realize that along the timeline of her recovery this may happen on it’s own, however when I read the articles I figured we had nothing to lose and everything to gain. As I said, the articles had documented studies done on Alzhiemers patients, and all statistics were positive. No studies have yet been done for beet juice benefit on brain injury patients. It was a No-Brainer to me though. If it helps the brain function of Alzhiemers, then why would it not help the brain function of brain injury? Her left eye is now half open and confirmed by eye exams, she sees as well with the left eye as she does with the right one. She has just now begun to use her voice, although she does not use it at all times. She can write fairly legibly and knows her birthday, although she has forgotten mine. That’s alright though, she is alive, she is recovering, and as far as I can tell beet juice is helping. I wish I had concrete evidence of it helping her, but I am satisfied that it is.

I honestly bought this for my girlfriend as she really likes beets. I shied away from beets before we got together. She swears she saw beet juice powder in a recipe but hasn’t found said recipe yet. Be that as it may, I tried it and love it! She was having some chicken bone broth and thought “why not?” Surprisingly, it was really good! This powder (not that I’ve tried others) is sweet and delightful. Well done y’all!

This stuff is delicious!! A very good and pure product that tastes like fresh beets. My wife and I both enjoy beet powder every morning and feel more energized well past lunch. We are thinking more clearly and quickly. Our time together is better. Our job is physically demanding and now that we are taking beet powder, we are not as sore the next day, and feel better recovered in the morning.

I am now on my second bag of the Beet Powder juice and can say it is the highest quality mix that you can find online. I have tried other brands and their mixture is consistent with only one out there (that actually costs more and clumps in the bottle). You can definitely feel the difference during workouts as your vessels become engorged with blood leading to a more powerful workout. This is a staple to my workouts and daily supplement regimen. Thanks for making a great product!
