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 included for its potential role in exercise performance and muscle recovery.

The product also contains Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, Ox Bile extract, and Pancrelipase—enzymes and bile compounds traditionally used in digestive support formulas. The tablet is made with inactive ingredients including cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and food glaze.

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: antioxidant support with enzyme factors.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hypertension, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Pulmonary hypertension, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Dyslipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia — and 4 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 Liver disease, Dyslipidemia, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Hypertriglyceridemia, and more.

For organic beet concentrate, the evidence shows it's possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness. For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it's rated possibly ineffective.

For dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels) and cognitive function, the evidence is insufficient to make a rating. We hold no effectiveness data for Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, Ox Bile extract, or Pancrelipase in this product.

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 in adults. However, the safety data for concentrated beet supplements is limited, so use caution.

The most common side effects from oral beet are red or black stools—the red coloring is harmless. Rare serious adverse effects include low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and kidney damage when taken in large amounts.

One case reported black stools, nausea, and vomiting after taking beet pills in a patient on blood thinners. We hold no safety or pregnancy/breastfeeding data for the other four ingredients.

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 Beta Plus, double-check any drugs in these categories with your pharmacist: CYP3A4 substrates (Moderate severity—beet may raise their levels), blood pressure medications (Minor severity—beet's nitrates may lower pressure further), and CYP1A2 substrates (Minor severity—beet may decrease their effects). Altogether, these interactions span 850 individual medications.

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 those metabolized by CYP3A4 or CYP1A2—or if you take blood pressure medications, check your specific drugs with the tool below before starting this product. The beet concentrate here is possibly helpful for athletic performance and exercise soreness, but concentrated supplements haven't been studied extensively.

Talk with your pharmacist about whether Beta Plus fits your regimen.

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.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Beta Plus contains 5 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 concentrate in this product make my blood pressure drop too low?
Beet contains nitrates that can relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. However, one clinical study using concentrated beetroot juice found no significant impact on blood pressure in different age groups. If you take blood pressure medication, your pharmacist can help you determine whether adding beet is safe for you.
Is it normal if my stools turn red or dark after taking this?
Yes, red stools from beet are harmless—it's just the pigment passing through. Black stools are rarer but have also been reported with beet supplements. Neither means anything is wrong, but if you're on blood thinners and develop black stools with nausea or vomiting, contact your doctor.
Does this product really improve athletic performance?
Organic beet concentrate in this product is rated possibly effective for athletic performance and possibly effective for reducing exercise-induced muscle soreness. The evidence isn't rock-solid, but the research suggests it may help.
What do the other ingredients in Beta Plus do?
This product contains Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, Ox Bile extract, and Pancrelipase—enzymes and bile compounds traditionally included in digestive support formulas. We hold no effectiveness data for these ingredients in our system.
Is it safe to take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for the beet or the other ingredients in this product. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing.
Does this product have fillers?
Yes. Besides the five active ingredients, Beta Plus contains cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and food glaze as inactive ingredients.
