Red Rabbit - 100% Organic Beetroot Juice 3L

Scientifically Supported Health Benefits

• Blood pressure reduction

Numerous clinical trials confirm that beetroot juice lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure due to its high nitrate content. Daily consumption enhances endothelial function and improves arterial elasticity, especially in individuals with hypertension [1].

• Improved exercise performance

Beetroot juice or complex with other functional juicesincreases endurance and efficiency in both elite athletes and recreational exercisers. The nitrate-nitric oxide pathway reduces oxygen cost during submaximal exercise and delays fatigue by enhancing mitochondrial efficiency [5].

• Cardiovascular protection

Beyond blood pressure, beetroot supports overall heart health by improving lipid profiles, reducing arterial stiffness, and protecting against oxidative stress and inflammation that contribute to atherosclerosis [6].

• Anti-inflammatory effects

Betalains, especially betanin, reduce inflammation markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1, COX-2), mechanisms similar to those of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [2].

• Liver detoxification and antioxidant defense

Beetroot supports liver function by promoting glutathione synthesis and enhancing phase II detoxification enzymes. Its antioxidant action reduces lipid peroxidation and protects hepatic cells from oxidative injury [7].

• Cognitive and vascular brain health

Nitric oxide from beetroot juice may enhance cerebral blood flow, particularly in the frontal cortex, which is involved in executive function. Some studies show improved cognitive performance and reaction time in older adults following beetroot supplementation [8].

• Gut microbiota modulation

Beetroot polyphenols and fiber act as prebiotics. In vitro and animal studies show increased abundance of beneficial microbes and production of short-chain fatty acids, contributing to gut health and systemic metabolic balance [9].
