Rabenhorst Organic Beetroot Juice
Beetroot Health Benefits – The Superfood
Beetroot has been gaining popularity as a superfood. Delicious and easy to add to our diet as a juice, beetroot is packed with essential nutrients, such as vitamins B6, B9 (folate) and C, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, copper, zinc and iron7 , and beneficial inorganic nitrates.
Research has linked beetroot juice to a wide range of possible health benefits, such as positive effects on blood pressure, brain health, inflammation, athletic performance and weight management.
Made from selected tart-fruity organically cultivated beetroots, our produce are carefully harvested, processed and gently bottled to produce a unique premium quality Beetroot Juice. Rabenhorst Organic Beetroot Juice retains the entire wealth of its natural ingredients.
Beetroot Juice Benefits
- Blood pressure
Beetroot Juice may help with management of blood pressure8. This is due to the presence of nitrates in beetroot which are converted into nitric oxide in our body. Nitric oxide dilates blood vessels which, in turn, improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure. The potassium contained in Beetroot Juice also helps to manage blood pressure. - Brain health
Nitrates may also help to positively affect mental and cognitive function as they promote the dilation of blood vessels and increase blood flow to the brain9. This will help to improve blood flow to the frontal lobe of the brain, which is associated with higher-level thinking10. - Inflammation
Beetroot Juice contains betalains – phytonutrients that work against inflammatory diseases11. Betalains may also help reduce pain and discomfort associated with osteoarthritis12. - Athletic performance
The nitrates in beetroot juice positively impact athletic performance13. They improve the efficiency of mitochondria, which is responsible for producing energy in our cells14, as well as increase blood flow and oxygen to the muscles15. - Healthy weight management
Straight Beetroot Juice is low in calories and contains virtually no fat. It also contains fiber, which helps to achieve/maintain healthy weight by reducing appetite and promoting feelings of fullness16.
Recommended Dosage
- 250ml a day of Organic Beetroot Juice for blood pressure management.
- Beetroot Juice is only suitable for consumption by children older than 4 years old.
