Best Beet Supplement

You probably know that beets are an extremely healthy vegetable. In fact, consuming beetroot may help your body regulate digestion,1 lower blood pressure,2 and even fight cancer.3

With a beet supplement, you can reap the benefits of beets without the mess of cooking or juicing them. But with so many beet supplements on the market, you might wonder how to choose the right one. After trying the top options on the market, we’ve found that some products stand above others, and some of the standouts are particularly strong choices for specific users.

So, we’ve put together this guide to help you make the right choice based on your needs and interests.

Take a look at our top recommendations below. Then read on to see how we made our picks.

At Innerbody Research, we extensively test each health service or product we review. For this guide to beet supplements, our testing team tried the top products in multiple forms (powdered drink mixes, capsules, and chews) to relay crucial information about taste, effectiveness, and the customer experience that other outlets can’t provide.

Alongside our firsthand experiences with beet supplements, we devoted more than 300 hours to the study of beets, particularly their nutritional potential, effects on nitric oxide (NO) production, and cardiometabolic science. In total, we consumed over 100 scholarly journal articles on these relevant topics. Also, over the years, we’ve followed the beet supplements space, along with related nutritional topics, and have updated this guide accordingly. That way, you can be sure that our findings are up-to-date.

Like all health-related content on this website, this review was thoroughly vetted by one or more members of our Medical Review Board for accuracy.

Over the past two decades, Innerbody Research has helped tens of millions of readers make more informed decisions about staying healthy and living healthier lifestyles.

We evaluated our top beet supplements based on a simple set of criteria:

• Effectiveness
• Cost
• Safety
• Taste
• Convenience

Effectiveness had the greatest influence on our recommendations, followed by cost and safety. Taste also played an important role, particularly since beet supplements can vary considerably in flavor and palatability. Convenience mattered, too, but it was less likely to make or break one of our picks.

Let’s look at each criterion in more detail.

Effectiveness

Advantage: HumanN SPORT

HumanN SPORT provides you with the best possible dose for realizing the health effects of beetroot.

Beet supplements are meant to increase nitric oxide (NO) production in the body, which widens the blood vessels (vasodilation) and can support bodily processes like immunity, stamina, and circulation. Studies utilizing beet juice have illustrated these potential benefits, but juicing that many beets is a bit of a chore. Better to let a company juice them for you and dehydrate that juice to create a supplement.

The exact concentration of nitrates — the compound in beets responsible for vasodilation — varies from company to company, and without complex testing, you’d have to take the company’s word about its nitrate content per serving. But since beetroot studies have shown high rates of tolerability among healthy participants using doses around 15g, you’d be best served by seeking a beetroot powder that offers as much beetroot per serving as possible.5 Most powders offer 5-8g per serving, but HumanN SPORT delivers almost 10g. That’s much more likely to have an effect than lighter doses.

Also, HumanN has subjected several of its products to clinical studies, each of which has produced impressive results.4 The exact ethical practices and funding channels for these studies are a little suspect — even the results published in the American Journal of Physiology’s sub-journal were clearly funded by HumanN — and we’d rather see high-quality independent studies for HumanN’s products, but at least the existing studies used sound methodologies, and they give us insight into beetroot supplementation that we wouldn’t have otherwise.

Cost

Advantage: Horbäach Organic Beet Root Powder

Horbäach Organic Beet Root Powder is a true bargain with its low up-front cost ($33.59) and high-yield container (3lb, or 272 servings). Plus, you get a 30-day satisfaction guarantee to protect your purchase.

Where it falls short of our previous budget pick, Bulk Supplements Organic Beet Root Powder, is that you have no option to subscribe or buy in bulk. Even so, Horbäach provides a stronger dose of beetroot powder (5,000mg versus 3,500mg), and its cost per gram of beetroot is lower than that of an approximately equal unit size of Bulk Supplements ($0.02 versus $0.03). Horbäach doesn’t cut corners on quality or safety, either, as this product is lab-tested, non-GMO, and free of common allergens.

It’s not until you start looking at very large unit sizes that Bulk Supplements becomes the better deal, but we’re not certain that enough people are interested enough in buying 11-55lb of supplement to say that those unit sizes represent the best financial decisions for most consumers. Besides, most of the beet supplements we’ve examined have a shelf life of around two years, and you’d need at least a daily-consuming two-user household to get through an 11lb tub in that time frame — never mind a 22lb or 55lb barrel of the stuff.

You’ll notice, though, that Horbäach’s powder costs more up front and per dose than its capsules. Yet we still consider the powder to be the better value because of its higher dose (5,000mg versus 400mg) and its dual absorption mechanisms: when you consume it, you absorb its beneficial compounds not only by digestion but also through your oral membranes. In contrast, the capsules bypass salivary breakdown, so you’re less likely to get as much NO from them.

Safety

Advantage: HumanN SPORT

For us to regard one product or company as safer than another, we typically like to see things like third-party testing, doses that fall within a tolerable range for healthy adults, responsible ingredient sourcing, formulas that combine ingredients with intention, and sound manufacturing practices.

HumanN checks all of these boxes:

• It uses third parties to test its supplements for contaminants and to determine that its doses and formulas accurately match the nutrition labels.
• Its SPORT offers a high dose of beetroot powder, but it’s still well within the tolerable range we’ve seen in studies.
• Its beetroot powder comes from non-GMO, American-grown beets and is combined with nitrates and nitrites to enhance the body’s NO production.
• It produces its goods in cGMP-certified facilities, which are regulated by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines.
• It’s NSF Certified for Sport, which means it’s free of substances banned by sporting organizations. This is important for competitive athletes since it reduces the risk of a disqualifying drug test.

Taste

Advantage: Snap Supplements Nitric Oxide Beet Soft Chews and Nitric Oxide Powder

Beets contain a lot of natural sugar, but they’re still a root vegetable, one whose earthy taste some have described as “dirt-like.” So a good-tasting beet supplement would be something that masks the unsavory qualities of the vegetable while enhancing its natural sweetness with complementary flavors. Some complementary flavors work better than others, so they should be mindfully selected. At the same time, the supplement should avoid swinging too far into the sweet end, as oversweetening hardly does any favors for the end user’s taste buds.

Previously, we handed this category to HumanN SPORT, but our most recent testing gave us the pleasure of trying and crowning new winners:

To be sure, we still enjoy the earthy-iced-tea characteristic of HumanN SPORT, just not as much as we like Snap. With HumanN, the flavor of the beet goes on much longer, so you’d have to have a taste for the vegetable to yield real enjoyment from it.

(Another note: We split the winner between two products to account for different preferences of form. Some people might prefer a powdered drink, and others might rather have something more easily portable.)

Convenience

Advantage: Snap Supplements Nitric Oxide Beet Soft Chews

Snap Supplements’ soft chews are soft candies. They’re portable and virtually mess-free (those beet powders leave stains), and you don’t need a glass of water to consume them. They taste good, too. All told, they present practically no barriers to convenience.

The only potential issue is that they’re 35cal per serving, including 9g of carbohydrates, so the calorie counters and low-carbers among us may prefer something like the Horbäach Beet Root Capsules, which are calorie-free and (for most people) easier to dose than powders. They’re also just as portable as Snap’s soft chews and even more mess-free. The downside is that the capsules are large, and anyone who has difficulty taking pills will not enjoy swallowing them.

But if powders are your preference, you should know that HumanN is a contender for convenience owing to certain ancillary factors. Among drink mix brands, it offers the best customer service, with a fast, well-informed team running an easy-to-use chat support system. It also offers the most flexibility in its subscription program, allowing you to combine subscriptions and bulk purchases to save extra money without the hassle of reordering when you’re running low.

To give you a sense of how our top picks compare, we’ve put together a little chart with some key information (prices rounded to the nearest dollar or cent):

Beets are an impressive source of multiple nutrients. They provide vitamins, minerals, and other compounds that are essential to body functions, including:

• Fiber
• Copper
• Folate
• Potassium
• Vitamin C
• Iron

Beets are also low in fat and calories but high in nitrates, which are converted to nitric oxide (NO) in the body. Healthy NO levels contribute to the successful function of many bodily systems and have been shown to lower blood pressure. This is because NO is a vasodilator (i.e., it widens blood vessels), so it facilitates blood flow to areas of the body that need it. In turn, the increased blood flow can:

• Improve exercise endurance18
• Aid digestion19
• Reduce inflammation and increase immunity1
• Support brain health and cognition20
• Improve overall cardiovascular health21
• Fight cancer22

These claims may sound hard to believe, but scientific studies and research suggest many of them have merit. Keep in mind that some of this research has been conducted on animals and not on humans, and some studies include beet juice or raw beets, not the beetroot extract that you’d find in many beet supplements. Still, they demonstrate that consistent intake of beets may enhance your body’s performance.

• A review of several studies, which were conducted to show the links between beetroot supplementation and exercise endurance, showed that beetroot juice improved stamina, performance, and fatigue rates in athletes.8 More recently, a 2025 umbrella review reached a similar conclusion, finding that beetroot supplementation produced modest but generally consistent improvements in endurance-related performance across multiple systematic reviews.35
• One study showed that using oral capsules of beetroot extract reduced inflammation in patients with arthritis.9
• Another study showed that beet supplementation and exercise improve brain function and cognition.10
• Beetroot extracts have been shown to stop the production of prostate cancer cells.11 They’ve also been shown to delay the development of breast cancer cells.3

Such findings are sufficiently compelling and convincing for the authors of a recent review in the European Journal of Health Sciences to corroborate the many health benefits of beetroot and conclude that it may “play a role in preventing and mitigating chronic diseases.”30

Beet supplements provide the body with several beneficial elements, but two components are at the heart of their efficacy: nitrates and betalains.

When you consume nitrates, your body converts them to NO, which dilates blood vessels and improves circulation. When your blood flows more easily, your muscles and organs receive nutrients and oxygen more quickly, making your body more energy-efficient. This can aid in exercise performance and muscle recovery while lowering blood pressure.

Betalains are not as well absorbed as nitrates from beets and beet supplements, but they appear to be critical aspects of beet products’ potential to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms of painful disorders like arthritis.6 9

Beetroot powder vs. capsules

Beet supplements have performed well in studies that looked at capsules or powders. Nitrates typically convert to NO in the digestive tract and make their way into the bloodstream through the stomach and intestines. But the process of converting nitrates to NO begins in the mouth, where saliva containing critically important, helpful bacteria instigates the conversion.

Because this process starts in the mouth, and because NO and nitrates can make their way into the bloodstream inside the stomach, we generally recommend beetroot powders (and even edibles) over capsules. Depending on the makeup of the beetroot capsule, the powder inside of it may not be exposed to the digestive tract until it hits the stomach or even as late as its arrival in the intestines. That bypasses at least one important junction in the conversion process.

Beetroot extract vs. powder

Three of our top beet supplements are made from beetroot extract (SENDURE-X, the Snap chews, and the Horbäach capsules). The rest are made from powder. So, what’s the difference?

An extract is the concentrated form of a plant’s bioactive components (i.e., for beets, their nitrates and betalains). It’s expressed as a ratio. For example, a 20:1 extract of beetroot was concentrated from a quantity of raw beetroot equivalent to 20 times the listed dose. In the case of Horbäach’s capsules (a 20:1 extract), that means the 400mg of beetroot was derived from 8,000mg of the raw plant.

A powder, however, is the dried and pulverized form of the whole plant. As such, it might contain a portion of non-bioactive compounds. To consume a powder is like eating the plant itself.

Extracts are generally more potent than powders. But among our recommendations, the relative potency of extracts is likely superseded by the higher doses of beetroot provided by the powders.

Beetroot supplements are generally safe and have few side effects for most people. Beets, beet extracts, beet juice, and beet supplements have also been studied in many clinical trials showing their benefits in multiple bodily systems. There are only a few issues you should look out for when starting a beet supplement.

Specifically, consult your doctor before beginning a beet supplement if you live with:

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Hypotension, or low blood sugar
• Diabetes
• Kidney stones
• Gout
• FODMAP sensitivity

While reported side effects of beet supplements are rare, the above conditions could worsen when taking a beet supplement or consuming beets in any form.

Be aware, however, that consuming beets can cause a condition called beeturia, in which urine or feces turn red or pink. This is the result of a natural pigment in beets called betacyanin. Beeturia is a harmless side effect that typically occurs in 10-14% of the population.15

Also, make sure to follow the label instructions and stop taking the supplement if you experience any adverse effects (more on the topic in a little bit).

There are four main groups of people who can benefit the most from beet supplements:

• Athletes and those who exercise often
• People with high blood pressure
• People who want to improve cognition
• People who want to enhance their overall health

Here’s why:

Apart from these areas, the increases in NO from beetroot are associated with additional benefits related to inflammation, digestion, and immune system function.19 1

Also, because beets are low in calories and fat and provide many nutrients and vitamins, people who are interested in enhancing overall health can benefit from beet supplements without worrying too much about caloric intake.

Who should avoid them?

Although beet supplements are generally safe for most people, some components of beets may result in adverse effects in the following populations:

Of note, beets are also high in oxalates, which can contribute to kidney stones and gout.14 If you have a history of kidney stones or kidney disease, it's a good idea to talk with your healthcare provider before adding a beet supplement to your routine.

Best overall

HumanN is a company with a catalog centered on beets. It offers powders, gummies, and tablets, nearly all of which have beets as their main ingredient. There’s a drink mix that focuses on greens, some turmeric chews, and a couple of vitamin supplements, but the rest of the products are beet-forward.

HumanN SPORT is an updated beetroot powder designed for athletes — indeed, it’s even NSF Certified for Sport, meaning it's free of substances banned by sporting organizations — but it’s also suitable for just about any healthy adult. It used to be called SuperBeets Sport (before that, BeetElite) and was once available at only one price point, but HumanN Sport now offers both subscription and bulk savings options, bringing it in line with much of the rest of HumanN’s catalog.

HumanN doesn’t clearly list its beetroot dose, but the total serving size per dose is 10.5g. We reached out to the company through its outstanding live chat feature, and a representative told us that, per serving, the formula contains a little less than 1g of ingredients other than beetroot, such as natural cherry flavor and magnesium ascorbate. That means it contains over 9g of beetroot powder, which is the highest dose per serving of any beet supplement among our recommendations. In comparison, the next highest dose in this guide is 5g (Horbäach Organic Beet Root Powder), so HumanN’s dose is nearly twice as generous.

HumanN has a couple of dedicated studies to support its effectiveness. One was a four-week clinical trial using original SuperBeets (approximately half the dose of HumanN SPORT), which showed that it lowered participants’ blood pressure.4 HumanN attributes this outcome to including the equivalent of 40 teaspoons of fresh beets in every teaspoon of its highly concentrated beetroot crystals, though clear evidence of this is not available.

Another clinical study showed that athletes performing high-intensity interval training expended more energy and had slower times to exhaustion after consuming BeetElite compared to placebo.23 In other words, they had greater overall exercise output for a longer period of time.

We should acknowledge that these studies were funded by HumanN, and self-funded studies have a potential for bias. Nonetheless, the researchers appear to have implemented sound methodologies, and their findings give us insight into a product’s efficacy that we wouldn’t otherwise have.

Taste and mixability

Our testers found HumanN SPORT to be one of the best-tasting beet supplements on the market (in our estimation, it’s second only to Snap Supplements in this regard). It doesn’t try to overpower the beet flavor with sweetness or other flavorings; instead, it has just a bit of stevia and Wild Cherry flavor, both of which nicely complement the natural beet profile. And the powder mixed into water about as well as any pure beetroot powder we’ve tried. It takes a little stirring but dissolves completely in the recommended amount of water.

Price

When you purchase HumanN SPORT, you’ll choose between a one-time purchase or the Subscribe & Save option. If you decide to subscribe, you can take advantage of free shipping and cancel your subscription at any time. You can also choose to buy one, three, or six containers at a time. Here’s how it breaks down:

The subscription discount is lower than it used to be, but subscribers still save anywhere from 10% to 24% per unit.

HumanN offers a 90-day money-back guarantee, which is the most generous guarantee of the companies in our guide. Most others offer just 30 days, and some won’t take back products once they’ve been opened.

Best pre-workout

Unlike many pre-workout supplements that rely on large doses of caffeine, PhysiVāntage SENDURE-X takes a different approach. Developed by exercise physiologist and climbing coach Dr. Jared Vagy, it focuses on ingredients that support nitric oxide production, blood flow, and muscular endurance instead of stimulant-driven energy. The formula combines beetroot extract, citrulline malate, and betaine — three ingredients backed by research for supporting exercise performance. In fact, the evidence behind citrulline is strong enough that we even have a separate guide dedicated to the best L-citrulline supplements.16 32

Here's a look at the complete ingredient profile:

• Calcium: 15mg
• Beetroot extract: 3,000mg
• Citrulline malate: 6,000mg
• Betaine: 1,250mg

At first glance, the 3g of beetroot extract may seem modest compared to some of the beet-only products in this guide. But SENDURE-X isn't trying to compete on beet content alone. Instead, it pairs beetroot extract with 6g of citrulline malate — a dose that closely matches what's been studied in human trials for improving blood flow, muscular endurance, and recovery.31

The addition of betaine further distinguishes SENDURE-X from most beet supplements. While the evidence isn't as strong as it is for beetroot or citrulline, some studies suggest betaine may support strength and repeated high-intensity exercise performance, though the results have been mixed overall.34

The combination may also have advantages over either ingredient alone. Emerging research suggests pairing dietary nitrate from beetroot with citrulline can produce greater improvements in aerobic performance than either supplement individually, likely because they increase nitric oxide availability through complementary pathways.33

Taste and mixability

SENDURE-X mixes easily with no noticeable clumping or grit. The Wild Berry flavor has a light cherry taste that reminded us of watered-down Cherry Kool-Aid. That's not necessarily a bad thing — it's mild, easy to drink, and does a good job masking the earthy beet flavor without becoming overly sweet. While it doesn't quite match the best-tasting product in our guide, it's one of the more enjoyable beet supplements we've tried.

Price

SENDURE-X costs $42.95 as a one-time purchase. You can also save 15% by subscribing, with deliveries available every 30, 45, or 60 days. Here's how the pricing breaks down:

At $1.43 per serving (or $1.22 with a subscription), SENDURE-X is one of the more expensive products in this guide, though it still costs less per serving than HumanN Sport. Unlike a typical beet supplement, however, it also includes 6g of citrulline malate, 1.25g of betaine, NSF Certified for Sport certification, and third-party testing, making its higher price easier to justify.

The one area where SENDURE-X falls behind the competition is its refund policy. Unlike the other products in our guide, PhysiVāntage doesn't offer a straightforward money-back guarantee. Instead, refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis within 30 days, making it the most restrictive return policy among our recommendations.

Best capsule form

Since most people looking into beet supplements are interested in their nitrate content and the related increase in NO production, we typically steer readers toward powdered beet supplements over capsules. That’s because the encapsulated beetroot powder can’t interact with critical salivary bacteria that are the first important step in converting nitrates to NO. If you want to maximize NO production from a beetroot supplement, especially to improve workout performance from acute administration, you’ll want to stick with a drink mix or chewable.

That said, there are several reasons someone might be interested in taking beetroot in capsule form:

But in terms of dosing, there’s one thing you should know about the Horbäach Beet Root Capsules: the bottle’s front label says 8,000mg, but it’s really 400mg. The number on the front label refers to the amount of raw beetroot from which the extract is made. The extract is the operating thing here. So, aside from bypassing salivary NO breakdown, these capsules are also the least potent supplement in this guide.

That being said, with the high serving count (320) and low price per bottle, you can easily titrate your dose higher. If you’re willing and able to swallow, say, eight capsules a day, the total beetroot extract quantity would be more in line with Bulk Supplements’ 3.5g per serving, but still be less expensive per serving than either HumanN or PhysiVāntage (around $0.50 versus $2 or $1.50, respectively).

Price

Horbäach Beet Root Capsules cost $21.39 as a one-time purchase (no subscription option available), with 320 capsules per bottle. Thus, the cost per capsule is only $0.07, and the cost per gram of beetroot is $0.17.

You'll pay a flat $4.95 for shipping on orders under $30, but shipping is free once your order exceeds that amount. Horbäach also backs its products with a 30-day money-back guarantee that covers both opened and unopened bottles. While it doesn't match HumanN's generous 90-day return policy, it's still one of the better guarantees in this guide.

Best budget pick

Horbäach Organic Beet Root Powder has supplanted Bulk Supplements as our budget pick. Whereas Bulk Supplements provides 3.5g of beetroot per serving, Horbäach delivers 5g. You also get a lot of it, as the container is about half the bulk of a medium-size dog (see image below). Its combination of large volume and stronger potency is part of why we consider it a better value than our previous selection for this category.

The Horbäach powder also boasts many of the same qualities as the company’s Beet Root Capsules, namely that it’s non-GMO and free of gluten, yeast, lactose, artificial flavors, and preservatives. It truly is a pure beetroot supplement.

Taste and mixability

Mixed into the label-recommended 4-6oz of water, Horbäach Organic Beet Root Powder leaves a few pea-sized clumps. And if you unknowingly drank a glass of this in the pitch dark, you might be unsure whether it was water. Because the Horbäach powder doesn’t have a taste so much as a texture, similar to certain brands of food gel. It’s not awful, but it’s not pleasant either.

Price

With Horbäach Organic Beet Powder being our budget pick, its pricing is where it really stands out. Here’s a chart comparing it to our previous budget pick, Bulk Supplements, as well as to Horbäach capsules and SENDURE-X:

Pay particular attention to the last two rows. Horbäach’s price per serving is slightly higher than Bulk Supplements’, but its larger serving size results in a lower cost per gram of beetroot powder, giving you more beetroot for your money overall. And compared to the Horbäach capsules and PhysiVāntage SENDURE-X, our new budget pick handily beats both in terms of long-term cost-effectiveness.

Keep in mind, too, that Horbäach orders over $30 ship for free, and all orders come with a 30-day guarantee.

Best-tasting powder

Snap Supplements Nitric Oxide is a powdered drink mix that delivers 6,853mg of a nitric oxide complex, which consists of:

• Beetroot powder
• Pomegranate juice powder
• Red spinach extract
• Piperine

Pomegranate and red spinach are nitrate-rich foods that can potentially offer the same anti-inflammatory, anticancer, cardiovascular, and exercise benefits as beetroot, with clinical doses of 1g per day.24 25 26 Unfortunately, because we’re dealing with a proprietary blend, we can’t tell you the exact dosage of any active ingredient in this supplement (and Snap customer support wouldn’t disclose the information to us), but there’s a possibility that the pomegranate and red spinach are within the clinical range, and the piperine (a bioenhancer) might increase bioavailability across the board.

Not so much with the beetroot, which is likely to be on the low side compared with our other recommendations. Still, given its excellent flavor, Snap Nitric Oxide powder can serve as a palatable gateway to more potent beetroot supplements, making it an excellent choice for newcomers to the space.

Taste and mixability

Mixed into water, Snap Nitric Oxide is like if Crystal Light Fruit Punch had beetroot in it. The beetroot taste is focused on the middle palate, while the stevia and fruitiness gently overtake it before it becomes too earthy. These flavor notes are well-balanced, too, making for an enjoyable sipping experience.

The Snap powder comes in three flavors, by the way: Mixed Berry, Cherry Lime, and Apple. We’ve only tried Mixed Berry, but if the other two are equally as balanced, then we reckon they’d be just as good.

Price

Snap Nitric Oxide is available in four bundle sizes, with subscriptions offering additional savings.

One thing worth noting is that new subscribers purchasing a single tub receive 25% off their first shipment, reducing the price from $35.96 to $30.23 (about $1.01 per serving). Subsequent shipments renew at the standard subscription price shown above.

Compared to HumanN, Snap offers more flexibility for larger purchases, with four bundle sizes instead of two. Each bottle also contains 30 servings, compared to HumanN's 20, helping keep the cost per serving lower across every purchase option. Orders over $50 qualify for free shipping, making the two-, three-, and five-tub bundles especially attractive. Like HumanN, Snap backs its products with a 90-day money-back guarantee.

Best edible and co-winner for taste

Given the popularity of edibles in the supplements space, we’d be remiss not to include a gummy or chewable in this guide. But in scoping this niche, we found that most brands severely underdosed their beetroot content. Our pick here, by Snap Supplements, is also underdosed but much less so than others. That is, with 1.25g of beetroot per serving, its potency is closer to an efficacious threshold than is the 500mg dosage more commonly seen in competitors (e.g., any one HumanN’s SuperBeets chews).

In addition to beetroot, the chews contain 10mg CoQ10 and 100mg açai. The former is a naturally occurring antioxidant, the latter is a fruit, and both have vasodilative properties, just like beetroot.27 28 The CoQ10 is underdosed (successful studies have used at least 100mg), but doses of 100mg açai have yielded cardiovascular improvements in some clinical research.27 29

Taste

Imagine if Starburst collaborated with Now and Later. The result would be something like Snap’s Beet Soft Chews. They’re tart and sweet, but not cloyingly so. Had we not known what we were tasting, we’d probably guess they were just a store-bought candy, not a health supplement.

The trade-offs for all that flavor are 35cal and 9g of carbohydrates per serving. Not terribly high, but enough to give pause to calorie counters and low-carbers.

Price

Snap's Nitric Oxide Soft Chews follow the same pricing structure as the powder, with identical bundle sizes, subscription discounts, and cost per serving.

Like the powder, new subscribers purchasing a single tub receive 25% off their first shipment, reducing the price from $35.96 to $30.23 (about $1.01 per serving). Subsequent shipments renew at the standard subscription price shown above.

Like the powder, orders over $50 qualify for free shipping, making the two-, three-, and five-tub bundles especially attractive. Snap also backs the product with a 90-day money-back guarantee, tying HumanN for the best return policy in this guide.

We often look to Bulk Supplements for budget-friendly options, and although its Beet Root Powder is no longer our budget pick, it remains a cost-friendly option. It’s available in multiple sizes, with the cost-per-serving falling in inverse proportion to the serving quantity. Here’s a table to illustrate:

(There are also 5kg, 10kg, and 25kg options, but those quantities are beyond the limit of what’s feasible for the average consumer.)

In terms of cost alone, the 1kg option contends with our current budget pick, Horbäach Organic Beet Root Powder, except that Horbäach provides a stronger dose of beetroot per dose (5g versus 3.5g). But where Bulk Supplements retains the advantage is with its direct subscription program (delivery intervals of 30, 60, 90, or 120 days), something Horbäach doesn’t have.

Apart from all that, Bulk Supplements Organic Beet Root Powder has a few other qualities that make it a good alternative to the top recommendations in this guide:

• It’s manufactured in a cGMP-registered facility and undergoes third-party testing to ensure quality and safety.
• It’s made of pure beetroot powder and is free from added sugar, soy, dairy, yeast, gluten, and additives. The lack of other ingredients allows it to mix very well into plain water — no clumping or sediment with the label-recommended dose and water volume.
• It comes with a 30-day guarantee. Though there’s an important caveat: if you initiate a return on an opened product, you’ll only be eligible for a refund equal to the cost of the least amount available. So, if you buy a 1kg bag, use a bit of it, and return it, you can only get back the cost of the 100g bag. (We’ve seen similar policies from other bulk suppliers, but they pale in comparison to more generous offerings like HumanN’s 90-day promise.)

Depending on your specific goals, you might consider any one of several viable alternatives to beet supplements. Let’s take a quick look at a few options.
