Beet Root Juice Powder - Organic
Our Organic Beetroot Juice Powder, certified non-GMO and raw, is rich in betaine, a vital phytochemical studied for its diverse health benefits.
Research has identified betaine's role in promoting liver and kidney health through recycling the amino acid methionine and maintaining SAM-e (s-adenosylmethionine) (Craig, S.A., 2004; Chawla, J.K., et al., 1998).
Additionally, betaine is scientifically linked to preventing fat accumulation in the liver, especially in heavy alcohol consumers (Kharbanda, K.K., et al., 2009), and supporting cardiovascular health by regulating lipid levels (Schwab, U., et al., 2002).
Beetroot components encompass:
- Minerals: Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium
- Vitamins: Vitamin C, Thiamin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B-6, Folate, Choline, Betaine, Vitamin A, Beta Carotene, Vitamin E, Vitamin K
- Fatty Acids: Phytosterols
- Amino Acids: Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Cystine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Valine, Arginine, Histidine, Alanine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Proline, Serine
- Flavones: Luteolin
- Flavonols: Quercetin
This product is 100% natural and minimally processed. Please be aware that taste, smell, texture, and color may vary between batches. As a natural characteristic of this powder, it may tend to clump. To resolve clumping, lay the bag flat, cover it with a towel, and gently pound until the clumps disintegrate. The towel serves to protect the bag from damage.
Suggested Use: One tablespoon twice daily. One tablespoon of powder provides the nutrition of one beet. Use to add flavor, color, and nutrition to any recipe.
Mixing suggestions: To increase the flavor and nutritional profile, combine with our organic carrot and spinach powder.
Botanical Name: Beta vulgaris.
Other Names: Garden Beet, Sugar Beet, Spinach Beet, White Beet, Mangel Wurzel, Sea Beet, Remolacha.
Parts Used: Beet Root.
Ingredients: Organic Raw Beet Root Juice, Organic Maltodextrin.
Origin: Grown and dried in China. Packaged with care in Florida, USA.
How to Maintain Optimum Freshness
- Our Beet Root Juice Powder is packaged in airtight stand-up, resealable foil pouches for optimum freshness.
