Humann Superbeets Heart Chews and Valsartan

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Minor

Antihypertensive Drugs

Why this applies to Valsartan

Valsartan falls under Antihypertensive Drugs — the group Humann Superbeets Heart Chews interacts with.

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.
Severity Minor Likelihood Possible Evidence A

Interaction 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.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the simple version: valsartan already relaxes your blood vessels to bring your blood pressure down. The beets in these chews add a little nitric oxide to the mix, which can gently widen blood vessels too. So you're not changing how valsartan is broken down or processed, you're just stacking two things that both nudge blood pressure in the same direction.

The good news is that the beet effect is usually mild and short-lived, and this is rated a minor interaction. For most folks it's a non-issue. Still, pay attention to dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling woozy when you stand up, especially in the first week or two. If you notice that, check your blood pressure at home and chat with your pharmacist or doctor before changing anything.
