HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beet Root Capsules by Pure

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.

Pure Beet Root Capsules contains one active ingredient: beet root powder. The capsules are made with gelatin as an inactive ingredient (the capsule shell itself).

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Beet's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: healthy circulation and blood pressure levels.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hypertension, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Dyslipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Raynaud syndrome — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Beet is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Coronary heart disease (CHD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beet is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyslipidemia, Hypertension, Hypertriglyceridemia, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, and more.

The evidence on beet root is mixed. It's possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness based on the data we hold.

For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective. For cholesterol levels (dyslipidemia) and cognitive function, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate either way.

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. However, concentrated beet supplements lack the same safety history, so use caution with this product.

Short-term use appears well tolerated for most adults. The most common side effect is red stools and red urine — harmless discoloration from the beet pigment.

Rarely, black stools have been reported. In very large amounts, beet could theoretically lower calcium levels or damage the kidneys, though this is uncommon.

We don't have data on lactation safety for concentrated beet supplements.

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 these capsules, double-check medications broken down by the liver enzyme CYP3A4 (Moderate severity) — a major category that includes many statins, blood pressure drugs, immunosuppressants, and others. Also flag any CYP1A2 substrates (Minor severity) and blood pressure medications (Minor severity) with your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Beet root capsules may appeal to athletes or people focused on exercise recovery, but they interact with a large number of medications through liver enzyme effects. If you take prescription drugs — especially those broken down by your liver — check your list with the tool on this page before starting.

Beet root 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 Capsules by Pure: Common Questions

Does Beet Root Capsules by Pure interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Beet Root Capsules 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 Capsules 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 capsules lower my blood pressure?
Beet contains nitrates that theoretically can lower blood pressure, which is why it's flagged as a Minor interaction with blood pressure medications. However, one clinical study of concentrated beetroot juice found no significant blood pressure change in different age groups. The effect isn't guaranteed.
Is red urine or red stools a sign something's wrong?
No — red or even black stools from beet supplements are harmless discoloration caused by the beet pigment and are a common, benign side effect. That said, if you're on blood thinners and develop black stools along with nausea or vomiting, contact your doctor or pharmacist right away.
Does beet root powder actually help with exercise performance?
The evidence suggests it's possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness. That said, the data isn't overwhelming, so results may vary.
Is there any safety data on beet supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for beet root supplements during lactation. Since the product is a concentrated supplement (not whole food beet), talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Are there any fillers or other inactive ingredients I should know about?
The only inactive ingredient is the gelatin capsule shell. There are no other fillers listed.
