Super Beets

[rgp]

Anyone here ever tried it ? Just for perhaps feeling better in general ?

They sure 'pitch-it' hard on TV ...... Supposed to lower BP, dilate arteries , improve gut health, etc .

Are you talking about regular beets you find at the grocery store? They're supposed to be good for you, especially the liver.

 

[Gaer]

Well, I tried it years ago. i didn't notice any difference. Thought it was expensive. But then, I'm pretty healthy anyway.
RGP, I ALL FOR nutrients of all kinds! Much better to take nutrients than prescriptions!
Try it! I'dlike to know if YOU notice any difference!

Well ........ maybe I'll do just that .......... I tend not to 'jump' into anything , but if I do , I will post my opinion here.

No, I am talking about the 'supplement' that they push in TV infomercials ........ I eat beets on occasion but this is intended as an every day 'supplement' .

Why not just eat the real thing? I love pickled beets and eat them with my meals.

We bought it a couple of times years ago just to try it, didn't notice any difference (which can be said for many supplements), but we both decided not to order anymore. My husband likes beets a little bit, might get a can once a year mix it with onion and make a salad, but he doesn't love them. I don't like them at all, that's why I tried the supplement.

Here's my view: supplements that work sell themselves. The more a product is advertised, the less likely it is that it does what is claimed.

Beetroot is one of the best vegetables to eat, but it is better to consume the fresh stuff.

I thought of bringing super beets up as a topic myself. If you pitched super marshmallows someone would fall for that too. A beet is a beet is a beet.

I drink half a bottle of Beet Juice every day, and yes, it supposedly does all the things you mention. Also, it increases energy level. I hate beets, but the juice actually tastes kind of like V8 juice.

IMO all of the miracle claims are just hype.

Super beets, green-lipped mussels, the rare konjac root, and all the rest put a little spring in our step because our wallets are lighter.

The sugar that I use is from Beets, Sugar Beets, the same family
as the red ones, but white.

As a rule I believe most supplements are a useless waste of money.

Look for peer reviewed studies showing some benefit (and a lack of adverse effects), if you can't find this just don't waste your money.

Real beets are good.

There's actually been some good studies on the value of beet juice* to lower blood pressure as well as other benefits. I started drinking 6oz per day five days ago -- will let you know if my blood pressure goes down.

@dseag2 is now my hero for drinking half a bottle. I hate the taste but drink it just before lunch and hope the taste will be gone after lunch (not completely.)

I have been told in the past that if you eat a lot of the
red ones, that you will pee red or pink, is this true?

Never tried the Super beet supplement, but like mentioned by others, regular beets from the grocery store are good.
I keep a jar in the fridge.

Beetroot is one of the best vegetables to eat, but it is better to consume the fresh stuff.

The way the companies get around that logical approach is to claim you could eat huge quantities of regular beets and not have all of the advantages.
Same when companies were hawking "raspberry ketones."

Real beets are good.

And if I can add: don't bother reading regular reviews, as many companies pay people to write those things.

 

[rgp]

Well, since I do not know clinically I'll just post an opinion .

That being that I believe vitamins & supplements are very similar to medicines in the fact that they will/do effect everyone differently.

Take 20 people and give them each an aspirin ....... there is a good chance that all 20 will react differently to too the aspirin.

As such, I believe some folks might actually recieve some benefit from supplements ..... whereas others might never notice any effect ......... and just pass it in their urine.

That is why I asked for experience versus theroy.

Including doctors.

I always take Lipozene with my Apple Pie a la Mode.
I still lose 4 times the weight.

Avoid!

I'll stick with Beetlejuice. One ounce and I can make my head spin 360 degrees.
