+ LIguy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'm recovering from several health issues including Lymphoma and Congestive Heart Failure and a relative told me all about the benefits of beet juice so I bought some organic juice from Amazon and started taking it. I drink an 8oz bottle on an empty stomach in the morning but too soon to feel any results. I was just curious if anyone on here was using it and their experience. Thanks!

+ sync Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 One of my neighbors is a devout proponent of the beet and its derivatives. She credits it for her recoveries from two or three coronary events and the remission of her cancer. + LIguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know beet juice is a great blood pressure solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do a variety of workouts, so I look forward to trying it. I don’t “lift” anymore with barbells, but I do use fairly heavy kettle bells for swings, squats, reverse lunges, etc. + BenjaminNicholas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My FB is turned on by the blood vessels in my arms and hands. He bought me a bag of beet juice powder to bring them out more. I have used it a couple times - I think it might work. I have read you have to be careful with it, it can supposedly lower BP enough to make you pass out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this one still working for you? I like mine but I don’t like having to take sleep medication every lifting day just to get to sleep at a decent hour. (I can’t go to the gym early mornings.)

Give me a beet: Why this root vegetable should be on your plate WWW.HEART.ORG Beets are full of color and nutrients that give them medicinal properties that could help fight diseases. I'm not sure what you were trying to show with that post, but no links to any studies showing a positive effect of the extract on exercise capacity (showing something "may" have some effect is just silly, anything may do anything). While the 2nd article states "...Beets are low in fat and high in fiber. Half a cup of boiled beets contains 0.15 grams of fat and 1.7 grams of fiber, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They are rich in vitamins C, A and K, which contribute to good bone health, along with several other B vitamins, which may protect against dementia and memory loss by improving blood flow to the brain...", a quick look at the nutritional information in the beet extract label three posts above show that the extract contains only simple carbohydrates (sugar), and NO fiber or other nutritional value: Of course, they'e low in fat. They're mostly pure sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
