Beetroot has quietly become one of the most talked-about ingredients in heart and circulatory health, and for women over 40 juggling blood pressure numbers, energy dips, and everything else midlife brings, it's worth understanding why. Meet Beetroot+ — our single-ingredient answer to a question a lot of customers ask us: is there a clean, clearly labeled way to get beetroot's circulatory benefits without juicing a vegetable every morning?
Why beetroot, and why now?
Beetroot's reputation isn't hype — it's built on dietary nitrate, a compound your body converts into nitric oxide, a signaling molecule that helps blood vessels relax and widen. A systematic review of beetroot juice and blood pressure found a consistent nitrate-related blood-pressure-lowering effect across the clinical trials it examined (PubMed), and an earlier meta-analysis of inorganic nitrate and beetroot juice supplementation reported similar reductions among the adults studied (PubMed). For women over 40, when blood pressure often starts trending upward alongside hormonal shifts, that's exactly the kind of everyday, food-based support worth knowing about.*
This isn't a coincidence of timing, either. Cardiovascular risk tends to rise for women after menopause, and heart health becomes a bigger conversation with doctors in this decade than it was in the last one. That doesn't mean a beetroot supplement replaces the fundamentals — movement, sleep, nutrition, regular checkups — but it's a reasonable, low-effort addition to a routine that's already paying attention to those basics.
What's actually in Beetroot+
Beetroot+ keeps the formula to one thing: 1,300 mg of organic beetroot (Beta vulgaris) root powder per two-capsule serving, in a vegetable capsule. There's no proprietary blend and nothing hidden — one ingredient, one amount, printed plainly on the label. We don't standardize or claim a specific nitrate dose, since nitrate content in beetroot naturally varies; Beetroot+ is described honestly by its beetroot amount rather than an unverifiable nitrate figure.
Other ingredients are limited to what the capsule needs to hold together: hypromellose (the vegetable capsule itself), microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium stearate. That's the entire ingredient list — nothing else.
What does Beetroot+ actually do?
Beetroot supports circulatory and heart health and provides antioxidant support, and the label carries healthy blood pressure support.* The antioxidant piece comes from betalains, the pigments responsible for beetroot's deep red color. Because beetroot is naturally caffeine-free, Beetroot+ fits any time of day — morning, evening, or alongside other supplements without worrying about a stimulant stacking up.
To be clear about what this is and isn't: Beetroot+ is a food-based supplement, not a treatment for diagnosed hypertension or any other condition. It's meant to support an already healthy routine, not replace blood pressure medication or a doctor's care.
Capsule vs. juice vs. whole beets: how does Beetroot+ compare?
Eating whole beets, drinking beet juice, and taking a beetroot capsule all deliver the same underlying compound — dietary nitrate — but with real practical differences. Whole beets require roasting, boiling, or juicing, and nitrate content varies depending on how the beet was grown, stored, and prepared; heavy cooking can reduce it somewhat compared to raw or lightly cooked beets. Beet juice offers a more concentrated, consistent dose than eating beets outright, but it also comes with natural sugars and a strong earthy taste that not everyone enjoys drinking daily. A capsule like Beetroot+ solves for convenience and consistency: the same amount every time, no prep, no taste, and no added sugar — which is often the difference between a routine you actually stick with and one you don't.
Third-party testing: what it actually means for you
"Third-party tested" gets used loosely across the supplement industry, so here's what it means for Beetroot+ specifically: an independent lab — not CuraMyHealth, not the manufacturer — tests every batch for purity and potency before it's approved for sale. That means checking that the beetroot powder is actually beetroot powder at the labeled amount, and screening for contaminants that shouldn't be there. Production also happens in a facility that carries NSF and GMP certification and is registered with the FDA, which adds another layer of manufacturing oversight on top of the batch testing itself. None of this is required by law for every supplement on the market — it's a standard we hold every CuraMyHealth product to, not just Beetroot+.
How and when to take it
The suggested use is straightforward: two capsules once a day with food, or as directed by your healthcare professional. At 60 capsules per bottle, that's a 30-day supply at the labeled serving. Because effects from dietary nitrate are relatively short-lived after any single dose, consistent daily use — not an occasional capsule — is how the research on circulatory support is generally designed, and how we'd suggest using it too.
What sets Beetroot+ apart
Three things, all things we'd want to know before buying a supplement ourselves:
- One ingredient, one amount. 1,300 mg of beetroot root powder per serving, no blend to obscure what you're actually getting.
- Third-party tested, every batch. Every batch of Beetroot+ is tested by an independent lab for purity and potency before it reaches your bottle.
- Made in a certified U.S. facility. Production happens in an NSF-certified, GMP-certified, FDA-registered facility — see our standards page for the full picture of how we test.
Who should be cautious
Beets are naturally high in oxalates, worth knowing if you're prone to kidney stones. A harmless reddish tint to urine (beeturia) is common after beetroot and isn't a cause for concern on its own. Because beetroot may influence blood pressure, anyone taking blood pressure medication, nitrate-based medications, or who has kidney concerns should talk with their doctor before starting a concentrated beetroot supplement. As always: pregnant or nursing women, anyone under 18, and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.
A couple of specifics worth knowing: combining a concentrated beetroot supplement with blood pressure medication could lower blood pressure more than either one alone, so that pairing deserves a quick conversation with your doctor or pharmacist rather than guessing. And because stomach acid plays a role in how your body processes dietary nitrate, anyone taking acid-reducing medications like proton pump inhibitors may see the effect somewhat blunted — not dangerous, just worth knowing if you're tracking results.
Frequently asked questions
Is Beetroot+ the same as beetroot juice?
They come from the same plant, but in different forms. Juice delivers volume and, often, more total nitrate per serving; a capsule offers a consistent, clearly labeled amount without the sugar content of juice. Beetroot+ is the capsule format, chosen for convenience and label transparency.
Will Beetroot+ lower my blood pressure?
Beetroot supports healthy blood pressure that's already in a normal range — it's not a treatment for diagnosed hypertension, and it isn't a substitute for any medication your doctor has prescribed. If you have a diagnosed blood pressure condition, talk with your doctor before adding any new supplement.*
Can I take Beetroot+ with my other CuraMyHealth supplements?
Beetroot+ is caffeine-free and formulated as a single ingredient, which generally makes it easy to pair with a broader routine. As with any combination, if you're taking prescription medication, it's worth a quick check with your pharmacist or doctor.
How long until I'd notice anything?
Individual results vary, and nitric oxide effects from dietary nitrate don't accumulate overnight. Most research designs call for consistent daily intake over several weeks, which is the timeline we'd encourage you to give it.
Does Beetroot+ have any flavor or aftertaste?
No — it's a vegetable capsule, so there's none of the earthy taste some people associate with beet juice. That's one of the main reasons people choose the capsule format over juicing.
What is the capsule made of?
Beetroot+ uses a hypromellose vegetable capsule rather than gelatin. The full ingredient list — beetroot root powder, hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium stearate — is printed on the product label and on our standards page if you're checking against specific dietary needs.
Where Beetroot+ fits in a daily routine
If you want a clearly labeled, single-ingredient way to add beetroot to your day without juicing or powders that need mixing, Beetroot+ is designed to be the simplest version of that: one ingredient, one amount, third-party tested every batch.
