Main Functions

  • Red beet powder is rich in betaine, which gives it a vibrant red color and can be used as a coloring agent. In addition, it is a free radical scavenger that reduces oxidative stress by providing electrons to free radicals.
  • Red beet powder contains nitrates that increase the amount of oxygen consumed by the body during strenuous exercise. Therefore it has the potential to improve athletic performance and exercise endurance.
  • Another great benefit of red beet powder is that it contains dietary fiber, which has the ability to lower low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, promote optimal body weight, help regulate blood sugar levels and aid in nutrient absorption.
