User Reviews for beet

I am 84, have COPD, CAD, and ED. I have a porcine aortic valve and it and my other heart valves are calcifying. I began using beetroot powder about a month ago and have found that my blood O2 level while hitting has risen from +/- 85 to +/- 96. My ED functioning has slightly improved. With a moderate activity level such as walking, my O2 level does not decrease. Being skeptical of anecdotal information, I am not willing to claim that this is confirmatory evidence but for me it seems to work until proven otherwise. Read More Read Less

I've found that taking the beet root powder capsules, 1000 mg per serving, my heart pounds in my chest.

I have had seriously high blood pressure, and the BP meds only made it worse. I decided to go on my own. Eating organic whole foods, grass fed, free range, etc, but esp the greens. It worked pretty well. My BP went from 180 down to 140 and sometimes in the teens! So I continued and decided to drink tea. BP went through the roof again. Did you know a lot of herbal teas have licorice in it? I love licorice, but it raises BP dramatically. No more tea. Phase 3, get exercise. I got a bike. Today, I put a beet in the oven and got on the bike. I checked BP, 166/110. I ate the beet and 5-10 minutes later, I had 150/100. It works!Read More Read Less

Originally I started to drink beet juice to help give me more energy during my workouts(increase nitic oxide). I didn't notice any increase in stamina, however it lowered my upper number blood pressure by 20 points after only using for two days. I am down to 119-122 and I am 66 yrs old.

I have been using beet juice and powder for the last 2 months and my blood pressure has dropped a few points(5-8). I have not noticed any other effects, negative or positive.
