I used to dislike beetroot but I really like it now. I think it is sweeter than it used to be, and lovely with soft cheese. I would never take supplements if there is an obvious natural version.

Don't worry if your urine turns pink. Beetroot has a strange obvious leffect on the colour!

I absolutely cannot stand beetroot!! I hat the flavour and texture of it. It's the only vegetable I don't like.

Why not just eat beetroots ? I love them and they are readily available .

You can lower your BP with additions to your diet :

Garlic
Ginger
Thyme
Cinnamon
Turmeric
Olives
Oats
Parsley

I haven't tried beetroot supplements.

I started taking beetroot supplements after reading of their various benefits. I'm already on BP meds so carefully check my BP most days. Its fine.
However, my Fitbit is v useful to check back on health ups and downs and there is a very noticeable improvement in my length of sleep and sleep quality since taking them. Its a clear measurable improvement. I'm happy about this but, obviously, thats maybe just me. See how you get on.

Any experience as a supplement for high blood pressure?
