How to take beetroot capsules is a simple question with a simple answer: take them once a day, with a meal, at the same time each day. For Beetroot+™, that means two capsules with breakfast or lunch, which delivers 1,300 mg of beetroot root powder per serving. There is no caffeine, so the time of day is yours to choose. Below, we walk through the routine, what you can and cannot expect, who should be careful, and why the quality of the capsule matters as much as the timing.
Key takeaways
- Two capsules of Beetroot+ once a day, which is one serving of 1,300 mg of beetroot root powder.
- Take it with a meal, at the same time each day.
- Caffeine-free, so any time of day works.
- On blood pressure medication? Ask your physician before adding beetroot; it has been studied for its effect on blood pressure.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Why the quality of a beetroot capsule comes first
Before we talk about timing, we want to talk about what is inside the capsule, because that is the part most brands leave vague. Beetroot is a food, and a beetroot capsule should read like one. Here is the standard every bottle of Beetroot+ meets:
- Third-party tested, every batch. An outside laboratory checks every batch for purity and potency, not just the first one. You can read how to check that yourself in our guide to reading a Certificate of Analysis.
- Manufactured in the USA with globally sourced materials, in an NSF-certified, GMP-certified, FDA-registered facility.
- Full label transparency. One ingredient, one amount: 1,300 mg of beetroot (Beta vulgaris) root powder per two-capsule serving. No proprietary blend.
- Clean by design. A vegetable (hypromellose) capsule, caffeine-free, with only microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate as other ingredients.
- Formulated for adults who want circulatory, heart, and antioxidant support from one plain ingredient.*

How to take beetroot capsules: the daily routine
The label directions for Beetroot+ are short: as a dietary supplement, take two (2) capsules once a day with food, or as directed by your health care professional. Here is how we turn that into a habit that sticks.
Step 1: Pick one meal and keep it
Beetroot+ is taken once a day, so the only decision is which meal. Most people find breakfast or lunch easiest, because the bottle is in view and the routine is already in motion. Because Beetroot+ is caffeine-free, an evening meal works too. The key is the same meal every day, so you do not have to think about it.
Step 2: Take both capsules together, with food
The serving is two capsules. Take them at the same time, with a glass of water, alongside your meal. Taking a beetroot capsule with food is the label's direction, and it is also the gentlest way to take almost any root-powder supplement on the stomach.
Step 3: Give it time
Beetroot is a food, not a quick fix. Think of it as a small, steady addition to a heart-supportive routine. Consistent use over weeks is what matters, so we suggest a full bottle (30 days) before you judge how it fits your routine.*
Step 4: Keep the bottle where you eat
Store it in a cool, dry place, away from the stove and the sink. The kitchen table or a pantry shelf at eye level works well. Keep it out of reach of children, and do not use it if the safety seal is damaged or missing.
A sample day with Beetroot+
| Time | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | Two Beetroot+ capsules with breakfast and a glass of water | With food, as the label directs; the routine is already in motion |
| Midday | A walk or a few minutes of movement | Regular activity is the foundation of circulatory health |
| Evening | A meal with vegetables, and nothing more to take | Beetroot+ is once a day, so the evening is free |
If you already take Pure Omega+™ with a meal, Beetroot+ can sit beside it in the same routine. Read more in our omega-3 guide.
Meet Beetroot+
Beetroot+ keeps the formula to one thing. Each two-capsule serving provides 1,300 mg of beetroot root powder in a vegetable capsule. The 60-capsule bottle is a 30-day supply at the directed serving.
- Circulation and heart. Beetroot supports circulatory and heart health.*
- Antioxidants. Beetroot's natural pigments, called betalains, provide antioxidant support.*
- Simple and clean. One ingredient, caffeine-free, in a vegetable capsule, with no proprietary blend.
One honest note about the label: Beetroot+ does not standardize its nitrate content. It is described by its beetroot amount, 1,300 mg, rather than by a nitrate dose. We think that is the right way to describe a whole-root powder, and we would rather tell you that plainly than imply a number the label does not carry.
What does the research say about beetroot?
Most of the published research on beetroot looks at beetroot juice, which is a concentrated source of dietary nitrate. A 2013 meta-analysis in the Journal of Nutrition pooled 16 trials and reported that inorganic nitrate and beetroot juice supplementation was associated with a modest reduction in systolic blood pressure in adults. A 2015 review in Nutrients summarized beetroot's betalain pigments and their antioxidant activity, and described the root as a promising source of bioactive compounds worth further study.
Two cautions on reading that research. First, those studies used juice or nitrate doses, not a 1,300 mg root-powder capsule, so the results do not transfer one-to-one. Second, this is structure/function territory: beetroot supports circulatory health and provides antioxidant support; it is not a treatment for any condition.* If you have a blood pressure diagnosis, your physician's plan comes first, and a supplement is something to discuss with them, not a substitute.
Who should be careful with beetroot capsules?
- Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18, and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement. That is the label warning, and we keep it intact.
- If you have a history of kidney stones, talk with your physician first. Beets are among the foods highest in oxalate, and the NIH's kidney-stone nutrition guidance lists them as a food some people are advised to limit.
- If you take blood pressure medication, ask your physician before adding beetroot, since beetroot has been studied for its effect on blood pressure.
- Pink or reddish urine after beetroot is a known, harmless effect of the pigments in some people. If you see it and are unsure, mention it to your physician so it is not mistaken for something else.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose. More beetroot powder is not better; it is just more.
Beetroot capsules vs. beetroot juice vs. whole beets
People often ask us which form is "best." The honest answer is that they are different tools. Whole beets bring fiber and a meal's worth of nutrients. Juice is concentrated and easy to drink, but it is also high in natural sugar and takes planning. Capsules are the simplest: a fixed amount, no prep, no taste, and no sugar. Beetroot+ is for the person who wants beetroot in their routine every single day without the juicer.
Frequently asked questions about how to take beetroot capsules
When is the best time to take beetroot capsules?
With a meal, once a day, at the same time each day. Beetroot+ is caffeine-free, so morning, midday, or evening all work. Pick the meal you never skip and keep it there.
Can I take beetroot capsules on an empty stomach?
The Beetroot+ label directs two capsules once a day with food. Taking them with a meal is the gentlest option for the stomach, so we suggest you follow the label rather than take them on an empty stomach.
How many beetroot capsules should I take a day?
Two capsules of Beetroot+ once a day, which is one serving of 1,300 mg of beetroot root powder. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If your health care professional directs a different amount, follow their direction.
How long does it take for beetroot capsules to work?
Beetroot is a food-based supplement, so think in weeks, not hours. We suggest a full 30-day bottle taken consistently before you decide how it fits your routine. Individual results vary, and beetroot is a support, not a treatment.*
Can I take beetroot capsules with other supplements?
Beetroot+ is a single-ingredient, caffeine-free formula, and many people take it with a meal alongside a multivitamin or Pure Omega+. If you take any medication, especially for blood pressure, ask your physician before adding beetroot.
