Organic Beetroot Powder (400 grams)

The plant pigment that gives beetroot its rich, purple-crimson color is betacyanin; thought to have antioxidant properties and contains nitrogen. The nitrates in beetroot are of particular popularity to athletes and possibly people with high blood pressure, dilating the blood vessels.

Beetroot is a rich source of folate and manganese and also contains thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B-6, pantothenic acid, choline, betaine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and selenium.

Beets have also been touted with improving athletic performance by improving muscle oxygenation during exercise from the naturally occurring nitrates, enhancing exercise tolerance during long-term endurance exercise.
