Beetroot Powder

BEETROOT POWDER (Beta Vulgaris) by The Herbal Tea House

The beneficial uses of Beetroot goes back to ancient times. Dietary Nitrate found in beetroot heightens the body's ability to use oxygen more efficiently. Beets have such a wide range of health benefits because of their nutritional content, including vitamins, minerals, and organic compounds like carotenoids, lutein/zeaxanthin, glycine, betaine, dietary fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorus, while also being a source of beneficial flavonoids called anthocyanins. Beetroot is very low in calories, with no cholesterol, but does have the highest sugar content of all vegetables.

Suitable for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

Some important benefits:

Good for heart health: Beet fiber helps to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides by increasing the level of HDL cholesterol (“good” cholesterol). 
Boosts energy level: Beets contain a significant amount of carbohydrates that provides fuel for energy and prolonged sports activities. 
May help prevent strokes: A deficiency of potassium in the body increases the risk of stroke. Therefore, the potassium-rich beetroot is recommended to boost heart health.
Macular Degeneration: The beta-carotene present in beetroot is known to aid in reducing or slowing macular degeneration in the eyes. 
Helps to Reduce Birth Defects: Beets are good for pregnant women since they are a source of B vitamin folate which helps in the development of infant’s spinal column. 

DIRECTIONS:  Add 1 level tablespoon to a glass of water or your favorite natural juice. Because of the pigmentation in beetroot, drinking beetroot juice may turn your urine pinkish/redish. Best when taken before workout, walking or hiking.
