HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beetroot 1300 mg by eXplicit 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 is a straightforward single-ingredient supplement: 1,300 mg of beet powder per capsule. The powder comes from the beet plant and contains betanin and other compounds naturally present in the vegetable.

The capsule itself is made from cellulose, with rice flour and magnesium stearate added as inactive ingredients.

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: exercise and athletic performance support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Muscle strength, Endurance, Stamina — and 1 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 Muscle strength, Exercise-induced muscle damage.

The evidence for beet is mixed. It's possibly effective for athletic performance and for reducing exercise-induced muscle soreness — meaning small studies suggest a benefit, but we'd like to see more research.

For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it appears possibly ineffective. The data on beet for cholesterol levels and cognitive function isn't established enough in what we hold 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 is a food most people eat without trouble, and short-term medicinal use appears generally well tolerated. The most common side effect is harmless red or dark-colored stools and urine — that's just the pigment passing through.

However, concentrated beet supplements lack the safety testing that whole food has, so use caution and don't exceed recommended doses. In rare cases, very large amounts have been linked to low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and kidney damage, and there's one reported case of a patient on blood thinners who developed black stools after taking beet pills, though the risk of serious bleeding was deemed low.

Pregnancy and lactation safety data isn't on file for beet supplements.

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 your medications against this product if you take drugs metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP3A4 — this is a large group including many heart, cholesterol, and immune medications, and beet may raise their blood levels (Moderate severity). Also double-check if you're on medications metabolized by CYP1A2, which beet may weaken (Minor), or blood pressure medications, since beet contains nitrates (Minor).

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.

Beet powder might help with athletic performance or exercise recovery, but it's a one-ingredient product with meaningful interactions with hundreds of medications — especially those your liver processes through the CYP3A4 pathway. If you take any prescription drugs, check them here first.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Beetroot 1300 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.

Beetroot 1300 mg by eXplicit Supplements: Common Questions

Does Beetroot 1300 mg by eXplicit Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Beetroot 1300 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?
Beetroot 1300 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 supplement turn my urine and stool red?
Very likely. Red or dark-colored urine and stools are the most common effect and are completely harmless — it's just the beet's natural pigment. Some people also report black stools. It's not a sign anything is wrong.
Does this actually improve athletic performance?
The evidence suggests it possibly does, based on small studies, but we'd need larger research to be confident. If you're an athlete or train regularly, it might be worth a try — just check your medications first.
Is beet supplement safe to take long-term?
Beet as a food is fine to eat regularly, but concentrated supplements don't have much long-term safety data, so caution is warranted. Stick to the recommended dose and avoid taking very large amounts, which in rare cases have caused low blood calcium and kidney issues.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for beet supplements during pregnancy or lactation. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice — they can weigh what's known about the risks and benefits for your situation.
What is betanin, and why does it matter?
Betanin is the main pigment that gives beets their deep red color. It's responsible for most of beet's biological effects, including how it interacts with liver enzymes that break down your medications — that's why it matters for your drug interactions.
