Beet root is a super food. It is truly one of the most beneficial items you could eat. It is full of nitrate and increases nitric oxide in the body. It also increases the blood flow in muscles as well.

It is full of phytochemical antioxidants. It is a great source of ascorbic acid, phenolic acids, carotenoids, and flavonoids. Research has proven that it will help build muscle mass while working out as well as giving you the extra boost of stamina to get you going and keep you going.

It has positive effects on blood pressure, overall health, and more. You can find it in pills or extracts but to get the best benefits, we recommend that you drink it in juice form. We learned that many athletes take beet shots before games because they have to have a natural source of energy and it also enhances performance.

So next time you are going to the gym or just need to get a handle on your blood pressure, stop by and get a beet shot.
