HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beet Root Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra

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 has one active ingredient: beet root extract, dry. Beet root is the source of the compounds studied in the research behind this product, including betanin, the pigment linked to the enzyme interactions above.

The inactive ingredients listed are glycerin and water.

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 a Possibly Effective rating for athletic performance and for exercise-induced muscle soreness. It has a Possibly Ineffective rating for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The evidence is insufficient to rate it for dyslipidemia (high blood fats) and for cognitive function, meaning the reliable evidence isn't established in the data we hold.

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 is generally well tolerated for most adults. Concentrated supplements, however, lack safety data, so caution is advised.

The most common side effects are red stools and red urine, which are not harmful. Black stools have also been reported.

In one case, a 79-year-old man taking apixaban and clopidogrel (blood thinners) developed black stools, nausea, and vomiting after taking beet pills. The likelihood of an upper gastrointestinal bleed was judged low in that case.

Rarely, large amounts have been linked to low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and kidney damage. We do not have pregnancy data for this ingredient, and the lactation (breastfeeding) entry has no rating on file, so there isn't enough data to know either way.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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: 864 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 medication types that are cleared by the CYP3A4 enzyme (Moderate), then antihypertensive drugs (Minor) and CYP1A2 substrates (Minor). Your own doctor or pharmacist can confirm whether any of these apply to you.

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 root extract may be of interest to adults looking at beet for athletic performance or muscle soreness, where the rating is Possibly Effective.

Beet Root Extract, Dry3 drug types · 863 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.
