HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beet Root 1000 mg by Double Wood Supplements

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: beet powder at 1,000 mg per capsule. The rest — gelatin capsule, rice flour, L-leucine, and silicon dioxide — are inactive ingredients that help form and stabilize the supplement.

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: cardiovascular and athletic support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Hypertension, Muscle strength — and 4 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 Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hypertension, Muscle strength, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, and more.

Beet root is possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness, according to the evidence we have on file. For other uses — including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) — the evidence suggests it's either possibly ineffective or too thin to rate, such as its effects on cholesterol levels and cognitive function.

If you're thinking about it for a specific condition, it's worth talking with us about what the research actually shows for your situation.

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 when used short-term. The most common side effects are red-colored stools and urine — harmless and temporary.

Rare serious effects from large amounts include low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and kidney damage. The safety data on concentrated beet supplements is thinner than for beet as a food, so use caution if you're taking high doses.

We hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data for this ingredient, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing and considering this supplement.

Meds to double-check

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.

Before taking this product, double-check any drugs that depend on the liver enzyme CYP3A4 (such as certain immunosuppressants, cholesterol drugs, and cancer medications) — beet may raise their levels. Also check blood pressure medications, since beet can lower blood pressure further.

And ask about any drugs that rely on the CYP1A2 enzyme, which beet might reduce the effectiveness of.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're an athlete or dealing with exercise soreness, beet root might be worth trying. Anyone taking a CYP3A4 substrate drug — particularly immunosuppressants, some cholesterol or cancer medications — or blood pressure medications should check their exact prescriptions with us before starting.

Talk to your pharmacist to make sure this supplement fits your medications and health situation.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Beet Root 1000 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Beet, 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 Root 1000 mg by Double Wood Supplements: Common Questions

Does Beet Root 1000 mg by Double Wood Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Beet Root 1000 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 1000 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 beet root supplements make my poop red?
Yes, red or dark stools are the most common side effect — it's just the beet pigment and completely harmless. It should go away once you stop taking the supplement.
Is this supplement safe to take every day?
Beet as a food is eaten regularly without issues, but concentrated supplements lack long-term safety data. Use caution with high doses, especially over time, since large amounts have been linked to low blood calcium and kidney problems in rare cases.
Does beet root actually help with workout recovery?
The evidence shows it's possibly effective for exercise-induced muscle soreness, so it may help, though the research isn't definitive yet. It's also possibly effective for athletic performance generally.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood pressure medication?
Beet contains nitrates that can lower blood pressure, so there's a risk it could make your pressure drop too much when combined with your medication. Check with your pharmacist about your specific drug before starting.
What's actually in this supplement besides beet?
The capsule itself is made of gelatin, and the powder is mixed with rice flour, an amino acid called L-leucine, and silicon dioxide — all inactive ingredients to help stabilize and deliver the beet powder.
