Why Beetroot Powder Works
-
Nitrates → Nitric Oxide (NO): Beetroot’s nitrates convert into NO, leading to vasodilation, increased blood flow, and improved oxygen transport, great for endurance and recovery.
-
Antioxidants & Betalains: These compounds help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, aiding faster muscle recovery.
-
Convenience: Beetroot powder offers concentrated nutrients without the mess or volume of juice, but be mindful of oxalate content if you have kidney concerns (boiling helps lower oxalates).
