HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beet 605 mg by Solaray

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 at 605 mg per capsule. Beet root is a vegetable commonly eaten as food; here it's concentrated into supplement form.

The capsule also holds two inactive ingredients — cellulose and magnesium stearate — which are standard binders and fillers.

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 has possibly effective evidence for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness — meaning small studies suggest a benefit, but more research is needed to be certain. For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the evidence currently points toward it being possibly ineffective.

For cholesterol (dyslipidemia) and cognitive function, we don't have enough reliable data to rate whether it works.

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 by adults. However, concentrated supplements like this one lack the safety data that whole food beets have, so use caution.

Short-term use appears well tolerated for most people. The most common side effects are red-colored stools and urine — harmless color changes from the beet pigment.

Rare serious effects at large doses include low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and kidney damage. One case reported black stools in an older patient taking blood thinners along with beet pills; the bleeding risk was determined to be low.

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 medications against this product if you take drugs that depend on the liver enzyme CYP3A4 (a Moderate interaction), drugs that rely on the CYP1A2 enzyme (Minor), or blood pressure medications (Minor). The CYP3A4 interaction is the most serious and affects the largest group.

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.

Beet may help with athletic performance and exercise soreness if the evidence holds up for you, but it interacts with a large number of medications, most notably those metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP3A4. If you take any prescription medications — especially heart drugs, statins, or immune suppressants — check them against our interaction tool before you start.

Talk to your pharmacist about whether this supplement fits your personal medication list.

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 605 mg by Solaray: Common Questions

Does Beet 605 mg by Solaray interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Beet 605 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 605 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 pills actually help me exercise better?
Beet has possibly effective evidence for athletic performance and for reducing exercise-induced muscle soreness — that means small studies suggest it may help, but the science isn't settled yet. Your individual results may vary.
Is it normal if my poop turns red after taking this?
Completely normal and harmless. Red or even black-colored stools can happen when you take beet supplements because of the pigment. It's just the beet passing through; no cause for concern.
Why does the facts say concentrated beet supplements need caution, but beet as food is fine?
Beet as a vegetable has a long history of safe eating, so we have real-world safety data. Concentrated supplements are a newer use, and we simply don't have enough studies on them yet — so we recommend being cautious until more information comes in.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The product facts don't include safety data for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're pregnant or nursing — they can give you personalized advice.
Does beet help with high cholesterol or brain fog?
For cholesterol, we don't have enough reliable evidence to know either way. For cognitive function, same story — the evidence isn't established in our data. Your pharmacist can discuss what's known from other sources if you're interested.
