HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beet Juice Crystals by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: beet juice powder. It's a concentrated form of beet, the root vegetable you'd find at the grocery store, processed into a powder.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: natural energy fuel and vital nutrients.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Hypertension, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Cardiovascular health — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Beet is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beet is rated "Possibly Effective" for Exercise-induced muscle soreness.
  • Also on file: Beet is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypertension, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Pulmonary hypertension, Exercise-induced muscle damage.

Beet juice powder has possibly effective evidence for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness — meaning small studies suggest it may help, but the evidence isn't definitive. The data we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it for dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipids) or cognitive function.

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. As a concentrated supplement, though, the safety data is thinner, so caution is advised with long-term or high-dose use.

The most common side effect is harmless red or dark stools — the color comes from the beet pigment passing through your system. In rare cases, very large amounts have been linked to low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and kidney damage, and there's one case report of a patient on blood thinners who developed black stools after taking beet pills.

Lactation data is not on file.

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.

Check your exact medications against these types: CYP3A4 substrates (the biggest concern — a Moderate interaction affecting many common drugs), CYP1A2 substrates (Minor), and antihypertensive drugs if you take them for blood pressure (Minor).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Beet juice powder may help if you're looking to support athletic performance or muscle recovery. But because it interacts with how your liver processes a large number of medications, you need to check your prescriptions before starting — especially if you take statins, blood pressure drugs, or immunosuppressants.

Talk to your pharmacist or doctor first.

Beet juice powder3 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 Crystals by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs: Common Questions

Does Beet Juice Crystals by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Beet Juice Crystals 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 Crystals 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 beet juice powder really affect how my medications work?
Yes, potentially. Lab studies show the main pigment in beet can block a liver enzyme (CYP3A4) that breaks down many medications, which could raise drug levels in your body. Use the medication checker here with your prescription names to see if any of yours are affected.
What are the most common side effects?
Red or dark stools are the most common and completely harmless — they're just the beet pigment passing through. Some people also report black stools. These effects are temporary and go away once you stop taking the supplement.
Is it safe to take long-term?
Beet as a food is fine eaten regularly, but concentrated beet supplements don't have strong long-term safety data. Use caution with long-term high-dose use, and talk to your pharmacist if you're considering it beyond short-term use.
Does beet juice powder actually help with athletic performance?
The evidence suggests it possibly may help — small studies indicate potential benefits for athletic performance and muscle soreness after exercise — but the evidence isn't definitive yet.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for beet supplements in pregnancy. Lactation data is also not available. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice on whether it's right for you.
