HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beetroot 1300 mg by We Like Vitamins

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: organic beetroot powder at 1,300 mg per capsule. Beetroot is the whole root vegetable in powdered form, delivering compounds like betanin and nitrates that are studied for sports performance and exercise recovery.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders that help form and preserve the capsule.

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: support healthy blood pressure and athletic performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hypertension, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Endothelial function — and 2 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 Hypertension, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Pulmonary hypertension, Exercise-induced muscle damage.

The evidence for beetroot is mixed depending on what you're taking it for. It's rated possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness (that post-workout stiffness and pain).

However, the data isn't strong enough to say whether it helps with cholesterol levels or cognitive function. For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the available evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.

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.

Beetroot is widely eaten as food and is generally well tolerated by most adults. Concentrated supplements like this one, though, have less safety data, so use some caution.

The most common side effect is red or black stools, which is harmless and just the pigment passing through. In rare cases, especially with large amounts, beet can theoretically cause low blood calcium or kidney damage.

One case report noted black stools and nausea in an older person on blood thinners who took beet pills, though serious bleeding was ruled out.

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 this product, double-check if you're on any CYP3A4 substrates — a large group including some statins, immunosuppressants, and other medications (Moderate severity interaction). Also mention any blood pressure medications or CYP1A2 substrates you take (Minor severity).

Your pharmacist can search your exact drugs to see if this beetroot supplement is okay for you.

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.

If you're an athlete or active person interested in boosting performance or easing muscle soreness, beetroot is possibly worth a try — the evidence leans that way. But check with your pharmacist or doctor first if you take any medications, especially cholesterol drugs, blood pressure medications, or blood thinners, because this concentrated supplement can interact with hundreds of drugs.

Don't be alarmed by red stools; that's normal. Talk to your pharmacist before you start.

organic Beetroot 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 We Like Vitamins: Common Questions

Does Beetroot 1300 mg by We Like Vitamins 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 beetroot really help my athletic performance?
The evidence suggests it's possibly effective for athletic performance and reducing exercise-induced muscle soreness — that stiffness and soreness you feel after a tough workout. The research isn't airtight, but there's enough there that it's worth considering if you're an athlete. Talk to your pharmacist about whether it fits with your other medications first.
Why does beetroot turn my stools red?
That red or black color is just the pigment from the beet — it's completely harmless and not blood. It passes right through your digestive system. Once you stop taking it, your stools will go back to normal.
Is this supplement safe since I eat beets all the time?
Whole beets as food are fine, but this is a concentrated powder supplement, and there's less safety data on concentrated beetroot supplements in the long term. Use it cautiously. The biggest thing is checking it against your medications before you start, since this concentrated form may interact differently than eating the vegetable.
Can I take this if I'm taking blood pressure medication?
Beetroot contains nitrates that can lower blood pressure slightly, so there's a potential interaction with blood pressure drugs (though the clinical evidence is mixed). You need to talk with your pharmacist or doctor about your specific medication before starting this supplement — don't guess.
What about taking this while breastfeeding?
We don't have enough data on file about beetroot supplements and breastfeeding to say whether it's safe or not. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice based on your situation.
Are there any fillers or other ingredients I should know about?
Besides the beetroot powder, the capsule contains cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium stearate — these are inactive ingredients that help form and preserve the capsule. None of these are unusual or problematic for most people.
