HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beet Juice 440 mg by Eclectic Herb

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Beet Juice 440 mg contains one active ingredient: freeze-dried beet. Each capsule delivers 440 mg of concentrated beet powder, made by removing water from whole beets to preserve the nutrients.

The capsule itself is made from hypromellose, a common inactive ingredient that helps form the capsule shell.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Beet's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Cardiovascular support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hypertension, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Dyslipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Pulmonary hypertension, Raynaud syndrome — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Beet is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Coronary heart disease (CHD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beet is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyslipidemia, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Hypertriglyceridemia, Raynaud syndrome, and more.

The evidence for beet shows mixed results. It's possibly effective for athletic performance and for reducing exercise-induced muscle soreness — that's where the research is strongest.

For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective. The data on beet for cholesterol (dyslipidemia) and brain function (cognitive function) is too limited to rate either way right now.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Beet

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Beet as a food is widely eaten and generally well tolerated by most adults. However, concentrated beet supplements like this one lack the long-term safety data that everyday beet does, so use caution if you're new to supplementing with it.

The most common side effect is harmless: red or sometimes black-colored stools and urine from the beet pigment. Rare but serious effects from very large amounts include low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and kidney damage.

There's also a case report of black stools and nausea in an older person taking beet pills with blood thinners, though bleeding risk was judged to be low. Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety data for this supplement isn't on file — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Beet.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 862 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Double-check this product if you take any drugs processed through the CYP3A4 enzyme pathway (Moderate interaction risk), CYP1A2 substrates (Minor risk), or blood pressure medications (Minor risk). Your pharmacist can help identify whether your specific drugs fall into these categories.

Beet, Freeze-Dried3 drug types · 861 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that betanin, the major pigment in beet, competitively inhibits CYP3A4 in a dose-dependent manner similarly to strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Beet and beetroot contain nitrates, which can cause vasodilation, potentially leading to lower blood pressure. However, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition using concentrated beetroot juice found no significant impact on blood pressure or heart rate in different age groups. Other small clinical studies suggest that while beet consumption might transiently lower blood pressure due to vessel dilation, there's no consistent evidence of a lasting effect. Overall, the theoretical risk of reduced blood pressure due to beet's nitrate content exists, but studies generally indicate a low and temporary impact rather than a sustained decrease.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that beet induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Beet Juice 440 mg by Eclectic Herb: Common Questions

Does Beet Juice 440 mg by Eclectic Herb interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Beet Juice 440 mg has a known interaction with 861 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Beet Juice 440 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this turn my pee and poop red?
Very likely, yes — red or sometimes black-colored urine and stools are the most common side effect from beet supplements. It's harmless and usually goes away once you stop taking it. Don't be alarmed.
Does beet juice really help with athletic performance?
The evidence says it's possibly effective for athletic performance and for exercise-induced muscle soreness. That means some good studies support it, but we don't have enough data yet to say how much it'll help you personally.
Is this supplement safe for everyday use?
Beet as a food is safe and well tolerated by most adults. But concentrated beet supplements like this one haven't been studied long-term, so we recommend using caution and talking with your pharmacist about how often and how long you plan to take it.
Can I take this with my blood pressure medication?
Beet contains nitrates that theoretically could lower blood pressure, but one clinical study found no significant effect from concentrated beetroot juice. Still, it's worth checking with your pharmacist, especially if your blood pressure is already well controlled — you don't want it to drop too far.
What if I take a lot of this supplement — is that dangerous?
Very large amounts of beet could theoretically cause low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) or kidney damage, though this is rare. Stick to the recommended dose on the label and talk with your pharmacist if you're considering taking more.
Is this safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for concentrated beet supplements in pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice — they can help you decide whether it's right for you.
