Health food stores often sell beet powder as a nutritional supplement.


The info below is taken from the Beet Power literature -

>1 teaspoon of concentrated beet powder is like eating one average sized beet.

>Vitamins & Minerals: Beets are extremely rich in iron, potassium, niacin,
>copper, vitamin A & C. Folic acid, biotin, niacin, zinc, phosphorus, sodium, calcium, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorus are also present.

>Benefits: Beets are excellent for the liver and spleen and also as a cleansing agent for maintaining whole body health. Beets are a blood-building herb that detoxifies blood by renewing it with its minerals and natural sugars. This root vegetable contains betaine, which stimulates the function of liver cells and protects the liver and bile ducts. Beets build red corpuscles by adding tone to blood. Reports on an animal study show that beetroot has a significant tumor-inhibiting effect.

>Beets are an excellent source of phosphate of copper. This is necessary for the skin to stretch properly, along with the Vitamin A and Vitamin C they provide. Beets are also a good laxative for some people.

>Beets improve assimilation of iron, function of intestinal tract and assists in the assimilation of a wide spectrum of nutrients. A mix of carrot, beet, and parsley juice is supportive for women during their menstrual cycle. Carrots and beets combined are excellent for the liver and spleen.

>How to take Organic Beet Powder: Take 1-2 teaspoons in water 1-3 times a day. Mixing Beet Powder with other vegetable juices has a wonderful taste and health benefits.

ingests it and overnight becomes a beet enthusiast.
