HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beta Plus by Biotics Research Corporation

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.

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 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Beta Plus contains five active ingredients. Organic beet concentrate is the only one we have detailed data on; it's included for possible benefits to athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness.

The other four — Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, Ox Bile extract, and Pancrelipase — are enzymes and digestive aids meant to support your body's own processing and breakdown of nutrients. The tablet also contains inactive ingredients: cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and food glaze, which are common binders and capsule materials.

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: antioxidant and enzyme support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hypertension, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Dyslipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage — and 4 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 Coronary heart disease (CHD), Liver disease, Dyslipidemia, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, and more.

Organic beet concentrate in this product is possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness, based on available evidence. For other uses — like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dyslipidemia (blood fat abnormalities), and cognitive function — the evidence we hold is either insufficient to rate it or suggests it may be ineffective, as in the case of COPD.

The effectiveness of the other ingredients in this formula hasn't been 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 concentrate is generally well tolerated when used short-term as a supplement, though concentrated supplements lack long-term safety data, so caution is warranted. The most common side effect is red stools and red urine — harmless color changes from the beet pigment.

Rarely, very large amounts of beet may lead to low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) or kidney damage, and there's one case report of black stools in someone on blood thinners who took beet pills. For the other ingredients, adverse effect and safety data are not on file.

We have no pregnancy or lactation safety data for any ingredient in this product.

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 Beta Plus, check your exact medications in the search tool below. The beet concentrate can theoretically raise levels of drugs processed by CYP3A4 enzymes (a Moderate interaction) — a category that includes many common heart, blood pressure, and immunosuppressant medications.

It may also affect CYP1A2 substrates and blood pressure drugs, though the latter effect is minor and inconsistent. The four other ingredients have not been checked for interactions.

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.

Beta Plus is geared toward people looking to support exercise performance and recovery, but it's a multi-ingredient formula where we can only verify interactions for one ingredient. If you take any medications — especially those processed by your liver — check them against the tool below before starting.

Talk with your pharmacist about whether this product fits your routine and any concerns about the other ingredients we couldn't assess.

organic Beet concentrate3 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.
