HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beet Root 1,000 mg by Nature's Truth

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 Root 1,000 mg contains one active ingredient: beet. Each capsule delivers beet in powdered form at a 1,000 mg dose.

The product also includes inactive ingredients (gelatin capsule, rice powder, magnesium stearate, and silica) as excipients to make the capsule itself.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Beet's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Beet for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Athletic performance — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Exercise-induced muscle soreness — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Beet shows possibly effective evidence for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness — meaning there's some research backing it, though more data would strengthen that claim. For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.

The data we hold rates beet as insufficient evidence to evaluate it for dyslipidemia (cholesterol and triglycerides) and cognitive function, so we can't tell you how well it works for those uses.

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 is widely eaten as food and is generally well tolerated in adults. However, concentrated beet supplements lack the safety data that whole food has, so use caution with supplement form.

Short-term use appears well tolerated overall. The most common side effects are harmless: red or even black stools and red urine.

Rarely, taking large amounts of beet has been linked to low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and kidney damage because of oxaluric acid in the plant. There's also a reported case of a patient on blood thinners (apixaban and clopidogrel) who developed black stools and nausea after beet pills, though the likelihood of serious bleeding was judged low.

If you're on blood thinners and notice dark stools, vomiting, or nausea after starting beet, contact your doctor or pharmacist right away.

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.

Check these medication types before starting: drugs processed by the CYP3A4 enzyme (the primary concern, with a Moderate risk that beet may raise their levels), drugs metabolized by the CYP1A2 enzyme (Minor risk of decreased effect), and blood pressure medications (Minor risk of added blood pressure lowering, though clinical evidence is mixed). Use the interaction tool on this page with your exact medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're looking to boost athletic performance or recovery from exercise soreness, beet may be worth trying. Anyone taking medications — especially those broken down by the liver — should run their drug list through the checker on this page first.

The interaction risk is theoretical but real enough to warrant a quick look. Because concentrated beet supplements lack long-term safety data, ask your pharmacist before you start.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

Beet3 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 Root 1,000 mg by Nature's Truth: Common Questions

Does Beet Root 1,000 mg by Nature's Truth interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Beet Root 1,000 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 Root 1,000 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 poop red?
Yes, red or even black stools are the most common side effect and are completely harmless. It's just the beet pigment passing through. Don't be alarmed — but do mention it to your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners and the color is very dark or you develop other symptoms like nausea or vomiting.
Does beet actually help with workouts?
There's possibly effective evidence for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness, meaning some research supports it, though we'd like to see more studies. It's worth trying if those are your goals, but don't expect miracles.
Is beet supplement safer than beet juice?
Beet as a whole food — fresh or as juice — is fine and well tolerated. Concentrated supplements, on the other hand, lack the safety data that whole food has. Use caution with the supplement form and talk with your pharmacist about the right dose for you.
Can I take this if I'm on blood pressure medicine?
Beet contains nitrates that can relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure, but one clinical study found no significant effect. Still, because the risk isn't zero, check your exact medications in the interaction tool on this page. Your pharmacist can tell you whether it's safe to combine.
What's in this besides the beet?
The capsule itself is made of gelatin, and the powder contains rice, magnesium stearate, and silica — all inactive ingredients (fillers and binders) to hold the capsule together. The only active ingredient is beet.
