Beet powder (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris)

Beetroot root powder is obtained by drying and grinding the root of Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris, a plant cultivated since antiquity in the Mediterranean basin. Rich in natural nitrates, red pigments called betalains, folates, manganese and vitamin C, it concentrates the active compounds of fresh beetroot in a convenient form. The nitrates it contains contribute to the production of nitric oxide in the body, a molecule involved in the regulation of vascular tone and tissue oxygenation. Betalains, in turn, are recognised for their antioxidant properties, contributing to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. In powder form, beetroot offers a concentrated nutritional profile and good bioavailability. Supplementation may be of interest to those looking to support their vitality, circulatory comfort or physical recovery, particularly when vegetable intake in the diet remains insufficient.
