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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

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 powder. Beet has been studied for supporting exercise performance and recovery from muscle soreness after workouts.

The capsules are made with gelatin as the inactive ingredient.

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 2 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 for beet root is mixed. It's possibly effective for athletic performance and for reducing exercise-induced muscle soreness — meaning some studies support it, but the evidence isn't conclusive.

For COPD, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective. For cholesterol levels and brain function, we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it 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 is a food most adults eat without trouble. As a concentrated supplement, though, safety data is limited, so use it cautiously.

The most common side effects are harmless — red or dark-colored stools and urine from the beet pigment. In rare cases, very large amounts have been linked to low blood calcium and kidney damage.

One case report described a patient on blood thinners who developed black stools after taking beet pills, though serious bleeding was ruled out. Data on beet supplement safety during lactation isn't on file.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Beet

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.

Check any medication your liver processes before taking this product. Most critical: drugs broken down by the CYP3A4 pathway — beet may raise their levels to unsafe amounts (Moderate severity).

Also double-check drugs processed by CYP1A2 enzymes, since beet might lower their effectiveness (Minor severity), and blood pressure medications, since beet may lower blood pressure further (Minor severity).

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.

If you take medications processed by your liver — especially heart drugs, statins, or certain other common prescriptions — check them with the interaction tool below before starting this product. Beet is generally well tolerated, but the supplement form hasn't been as thoroughly studied as the food itself, so proceed with caution if you're on blood pressure or blood thinner medications.

For each ingredient in Beet Root Capsules 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 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 my stools really turn red?
Possibly, yes. The red or dark color comes from beet pigment and isn't harmful — it's one of the most common side effects of beet supplements. You can usually expect it to pass once you stop taking it.
Does this really help with workout recovery?
The evidence says it's possibly effective for exercise-induced muscle soreness and athletic performance, meaning some studies show benefit but it's not proven yet. Results likely vary from person to person.
Is beet safe for a long time?
Beet as a food is fine. As a concentrated supplement, though, long-term safety data is limited, so we recommend caution with regular or high-dose use. Talk to your pharmacist about how long you plan to take it.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner?
You need to check with your pharmacist or doctor first. One case report described black stools in a patient on blood thinners after taking beet pills, though serious bleeding was unlikely in that case. Your individual risk depends on your specific medication and dose.
What's in the capsule besides beet?
Just gelatin, which is the capsule material itself. There are no added fillers or binders.
