Beetroot Capsules vs Beetroot Juice: Which Is Better?

Beetroot has become something of a health and fitness superstar. And if you've ever looked into the benefits of beetroot, you've probably come across beetroot juice. But here's the question: do you really need to drink beetroot juice to get beetroot into your daily routine?

While beetroot juice might be popular among the health and wellness community, it isn't exactly the most convenient thing in the world.

Beetroot juice: the good and the not-so-good

There's a reason beetroot juice has become so popular. It is naturally rich in nitrates, which have been the subject of plenty of research, particularly around blood pressure, blood flow and exercise performance.

Research into nitrate-rich beetroot juice has produced some interesting results, including potential benefits for blood pressure and certain aspects of exercise performance. It’s not just another overhyped wellness fad.

So far, so good. But then there's the practical side.

The taste. Beetroot juice has a very distinctive earthy flavour. Some people love it, but a lot of us really don't.

Then there's the supermarket trip, the heavy bottles, the fridge space and, if you're making it yourself, the inevitable beetroot-coloured kitchen. If you're trying to make something part of your everyday routine, convenience matters.

Enter beetroot extract capsules

This is where beetroot extract capsules have a rather obvious advantage.

No juicer. No chopping. No bottles. No fridge space. No mess. No earthy aftertaste.

And you know exactly how much extract you’re getting.

Just take your capsule with water and get on with your day. It's beetroot without the fuss.

But what exactly is beetroot extract?

Beetroot extract comes from the beta vulgaris vegetable, but it isn't simply beetroot juice in a capsule.

Beetroot juice is made by pressing or blending fresh beetroot, leaving you with a liquid containing the vegetable's naturally occurring compounds along with plenty of water. Beetroot extract, on the other hand, is processed to remove much of that water and produce a more concentrated ingredient, usually in powder or capsule form.

The result is a convenient way of getting beetroot into your daily routine without having to drink a glass of beetroot juice, or deal with the taste, bottles, shelf life and mess that can come with it. And that's where BeetBoost comes in.

What makes BeetBoost different?

BeetBoost contains 300 mg of 50:1 beetroot extract, equivalent to 15,000 mg of beetroot powder.

Quite simply: 300 mg × 50 = 15,000 mg

So you're getting a concentrated beetroot extract rather than simply putting 15 grams of beetroot powder into a capsule. And that's one of the reasons we think capsules are such a convenient way to enjoy beetroot as part of your daily routine.

So, juice or capsules?

If you genuinely enjoy beetroot juice, there's nothing wrong with drinking it. In fact, much of the research into dietary nitrate has used nitrate-rich beetroot juice, so it certainly has its place.

But if you're looking for something that's quick, convenient and easy to stick with, capsules are hard to beat. There's no preparation, no cleaning up and no need to find space in your fridge for another bottle. And perhaps best of all...you don't have to drink beetroot.

BeetBoost: beetroot without the drama.
