How Does Beet Root Extract Work?

Beet Root Extract works through several biological mechanisms:

Nitric Oxide Production: Dietary nitrates convert to nitric oxide in the body, helping to relax and widen blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow.
Antioxidant Effects: Betalains help neutralize oxidative stress and inflammation, protecting cells and supporting liver function.
Exercise Performance: Increases oxygen efficiency and stamina by improving mitochondrial function and blood circulation.
Metabolic Support: Provides essential nutrients that aid cellular energy metabolism and promote detoxification.
