| Solgar Beetroot Extract 500mg
A rich source of antioxidants as well
as good levels of many nutrients, including folic acid, vitamin B6,
fibre, manganese, potassium, vitamin C and iron.
Research studies have demonstrated
that beetroots are a uniquely rich source of phytonutrient pigments
collectively known as betalains. Betalains are nitrogen-containing,
water-soluble plant pigments which exert a wide range of desirable
biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and
cardiovascular-protective properties. Betalains are responsible for
the characteristic colour of beetroots, whether they be the yellow
variety or the more common crimson-red type.
Recent studies on beetroot's role
in cardiovascular health has cited nitrate as the key component
responsible for these benefits. Researchers found that nitrate from
beetroot increased levels of nitric oxide within the body. Nitric
oxide signals the smooth muscle fibres to relax, which increases
blood flow, subsequently improving circulation and reducing blood
pressure.
Beetroots also contain various
carotenoids, iron, potassium, fibre, vitamin c, folic acid and
betaine. Betaine (also known as TMG) has been shown to reduce the
blood concentration of homocysteine, a substance linked to heart
disease.
