Solgar Beetroot Extract 500mg 90 Vegetable Capsules

Kimmi: Is the capsule a substitute for eating beetroot?

Jase: No. The panel lists 500mg beetroot extract, but it does not list meaningful amounts of the vitamins, minerals or nitrate discussed in the old copy.

Kimmi: And the serving size?

Jase: The panel incorrectly says 90 capsules while the directions say one capsule up to three times daily. Check the bottle.

This beetroot supplement is not intended to lower blood pressure, improve circulation or treat cardiovascular conditions.

Directions

Do not use until the serving-size conflict is checked. The supplied directions state 1 vegetable capsule up to three times daily, preferably with meals.

Warnings

• Consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with kidney disease or a history of oxalate kidney stones, or while taking prescription medicine—particularly blood-pressure medicine or nitrates.
• Beetroot may colour urine or stool red; seek advice if bleeding cannot be ruled out.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use if the outer bottle seal is missing, torn or damaged in any way.
