Beetroot and Montmorency Cherry: Inside Our Beetroot Extract Capsules
Beetroot shots and tart cherry juice have become a regular sight in gym bags and running club fridges. Our Beetroot Extract capsules bring the two together in a concentrated, easy-to-take form with no earthy-tasting juice required.
What’s inside?
Each capsule combines beetroot powder and 10:1 extract with Montmorency (sour) cherry powder and 10:1 extract, equivalent to 4500mg per capsule. We’ve added three further ingredients:
- Vitamin B6 – 2mg per capsule (142% of the Nutrient Reference Value)
- Turmeric extract standardised to 95% curcumin
- Black pepper powder – the traditional partner to turmeric in herbal formulations
Why vitamin B6?
Vitamin B6 is the ingredient that does the heavy lifting from a nutrition point of view. Vitamin B6 contributes to:
- the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- normal energy-yielding metabolism
- normal protein and glycogen metabolism
- the normal function of the immune system
- normal red blood cell formation
- the regulation of hormonal activity
Beetroot and cherry in your diet
Both beetroot and Montmorency cherries are naturally rich in colourful plant pigments called anthocyanins and betalains, which is where their deep red and purple colours come from. A capsule is a convenient way to include them on days when you’re short of time, alongside plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Training regularly? Pair it with a protein shake such as our Pea Protein Powder or Whey Protein.
