Beets are one of the go-to vegan supplements for people who want to optimize their health and exercise performance naturally and extract the maximum benefits from their diets to improve the way they feel. While there are varied potential supplements you might choose, we always recommend a vegan-certified, science-driven brand like Sur. This ensures that your plant-based supplements are authentic, 100% natural, and created by a trusted, reputable business with ample third-party testing.

Unfortunately, as using a red beet supplement for a vegan diet becomes more popular, there are also an increasing number of substandard products on the market. Therefore, it is important that you select effective red beet supplements that will work as expected.

Choosing a Red Beet Vegan Supplement: The Basics

If you are buying supplements for the first time, you've likely been exposed to thousands of options and need a reliable way to choose the right solutions. The criteria we'd suggest you consider include:

• Safety: It’s important to check that supplements have been thoroughly tested and have some form of independent verification or certification.

• Convenience: Beets may be sold as powders, capsules, or concentrates. Capsules are widely considered ideal because they ensure that the powerful antioxidants within the beets haven’t been eroded through processing.

• Cost: Supplements that are priced unusually low are unlikely to be of sufficient concentration or quality to provide a tangible benefit. Here at Sur, we offer varied nutrient-rich supplement pack sizes and a money-back guarantee to ensure you can order with confidence.

As betalain pioneers, we have spent decades refining our approaches and techniques. We combine a passion for plant power, clinical research, specialist extraction methods, and field testing, all of which contribute to our ability to offer guaranteed satisfaction.

Red Beet Capsules, Juices, and Powders

Product formats matter because juicing beets yourself can take a large amount of time, but also because dehydrated powders or beet juices retain most of the vitamins and minerals within beets–including vitamins A, C, and K, potassium, and manganese–but lose their antioxidant properties.

Betalains in beets are natural antioxidants that improve circulation, stamina, and muscle performance. However, they erode when exposed to light, heat, and water, so we recommend a capsule supplement over any other option. 

That means red beet juice may still be a good addition to your diet, but you won't see the health-positive aspects of betalains unique to beets and some other roots and vegetables within the same plant family.

Sur’s Organic Beet Root Versus AltRed Betalains

At Sur, we have two high-performing supplements formulated to deliver excellent plant-based benefits from the humble beet. The best option may depend on your objectives and the improvements you'd like to experience from your chosen supplementation.

Red Beet Supplements for Healthy Circulation and Energy

Our Organic Beet Root supplement delivers 1,000 milligrams of organic beet per serving, made with organic beet powder, which has been third-party verified by USDA Organic. This supplement is a great option if you’d like to:

• Improve exercise performance via enhanced oxygen delivery to your muscles

• Maintain healthy blood pressure levels and support better circulation

• Boost your stamina and energy, keeping fatigue at bay

This supplement is a fantastic option for anybody looking to improve their general health and wellbeing, increasing their intake of natural nitrates derived solely from plants.

AltRed Beet Supplements for Athletes

The other option is AltRed, a powerhouse supplement containing a highly concentrated, standardized amount of betalains.  Each capsule provides fifty milligrams of beet extract and 25% betalains and is NSF Certified for Sport with no sugar, caffeine, or GMOs.

Benefits include faster and more sustained oxygen delivery, improved endurance and aerobic performance, quicker recovery times, and an augmented lactate acid threshold–meaning that high-intensity exercise becomes easier to manage and muscle recovery time expedites.
