Interaction Details
Cilazapril is classified as belonging to the following category: Antihypertensive Drugs
Each serving of HumanN SuperBeets includes 500mg of beetroot powder (2 chews). Beetroot is rich in nitrates, which have the potential to widen blood vessels (vasodilation) and, in turn, possibly lower blood pressure. While there is a theoretical concern about the nitrate content in beets causing a blood pressure drop, research consistently indicates that any impact is generally minor and short-lived. However, it's crucial to be aware that blood pressure medications alone can cause dizziness and lightheadedness. Combining them with beet supplements might heighten the risk of experiencing these side effects due to the temporary vasodilation caused by the nitrates in beet.

Likelihood of Occurrence
PossibleInteraction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists
Pharmacist Analysis
As stated in the interaction detail section above, the blood pressure-lowering effects of the nitrates found in beet supplements tend to only be temporary.
However, I would still counsel individuals who are taking blood pressure medications to be cautious if they are considering taking a beet supplement.
Blood pressure medications can cause individuals to feel lightheaded and dizzy. These effects could be more pronounced when combined with a beet supplement, which could increase the risk of falls.

Humann Superbeets Heart Chews Overview
HumanN SuperBeets Heart Chews is a dietary supplement that aims to support heart health in a convenient chewable form. The chews include two herbal ingredients: beetroot powder and a proprietary grape seed extract known as Enovita. Beetroot powder provides, among other things, dietary nitrates, which can convert into nitric oxide in the body, supporting healthy blood flow and cardiovascular function. The grape seed extract, Enovita, is a proprietary formulation rich in proanthocyanidins (OPCs) sourced exclusively from grape seeds used in white wine production. OPCs are antioxidants known for potential benefits in promoting heart health and protecting against oxidative stress.
