Organic Beetroot Capsules 500mg - Source of Antioxidants + 30 Nitric Oxide Test Strips
Couldn't load pickup availability
Concentrated beetroot (Beta vulgaris) in a 500 mg vegan capsule, with 30 nitric oxide saliva test strips included so you can actually see your dietary nitrate levels rather than guess at them.
Beetroot is one of the richest food sources of dietary nitrates, which is why it has become a staple for athletes and cyclists. It also brings folate, fibre and the betalain pigments that give beets their colour. We moved this product from 1000 mg capsules to 500 mg after customers told us the larger ones were hard to swallow — the daily amount is unchanged, you simply take two.
- 500 mg per capsule, 2 capsules per day (1000 mg daily)
- 30 nitric oxide test strips included
- Naturally high in dietary nitrates
- Vegan capsules, non-GMO, gluten-free, no artificial fillers
- Made in Canada from domestic and imported ingredients
- Third-party tested for purity and potency — COA on this page
- Bottle sizes: 60, 120, 240 and 360 capsules
- NPN 80139134
Who it's for: runners, cyclists and gym-goers, and anyone who likes beets in principle but not in practice.
How to use: Adults: 2 capsules daily with water, with or without food. To use a test strip, hold it on your tongue for 5 seconds and compare it to the colour chart.
Recommended use: Source of antioxidants for the maintenance of good health.

Fruiting body vs Mycelium and Spores
There is a lot of discussion around which parts of the mushroom should be used for extraction. Here is a short explanation:
In mushrooms, the part that is typically used for extracting nutrients and compounds is the fruiting body, which is the visible part of the mushroom that emerges above ground. This is because the fruiting body contains most of the bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial substances.
The fruiting body is rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds because it is where the reproductive structures of the mushroom develop. These structures contain various substances that the mushroom needs for growth and reproduction, as well as compounds that help defend against pathogens and predators.
However, it's worth noting that different parts of the mushroom may have different nutritional profiles and concentrations of bioactive compounds. For example, some mushrooms also produce mycelium, the underground network of fungal threads, which can also contain valuable nutrients and compounds. Additionally, certain species of mushrooms may have medicinal properties associated with specific parts of the organism, such as the mycelium or even the spores. Therefore, the specific part of the mushroom used for extraction can depend on the desired nutrients or compounds and the intended use.
We always use the fruiting body for our extracts but we are also working on developing special compound extracts from other parts like the mycelium and spores. Keep an eye on our blogs and subscribe to our newsletter to get notified of these advancements as they happen.
