Red beets attribute their vibrant red color to a unique group of antioxidants called betacyanins. These antioxidants have the ability to neutralize harmful and damaging free radicals that cause oxidative stress to DNA, proteins, and cells.**
Red beets also contain naturally occurring betaine and nitrates, two compounds that support cardiovascular health, energy production and ultimately liver and kidney health.** The nitrates found in beets promote the flow of oxygen rich blood to your muscles, ultimately promoting increased endurance and activity.**
