Frequently Asked Questions
The nitrate levels in this juice are higher than other commercial juices because of the beetroot and rhubarb—two of the highest veggie sources of nitrate. In addition, the beta carotene from carrots has been associated with lower blood pressure and improved cholesterol levels.
When we consume plant foods that are high in nitrates, our body converts them to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps to improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and is considered cardio-protective. Not only is this juice heart-healthy, but it may also improve athletic performance.
No, it's not recommended you consume this daily. Instead, consider eating a variety of whole plant foods, in or close to their most natural state, to ensure you get fiber and a diversity of plants. Check out this article about How to Eat Over 30 Plants a Week.
