What is the interest to use this?  I found this one on Swanson that says it has vitamins although it doesn't list many, and it contains nitrates, isn't this bad?  Untitled-2.jpg   241.85KB   0 downloads

The NO generating nitrates that enhance endothelial function, not the carcinogenic nitrites in processed meat.

 

Personally, I'm not a fan of high beet consumption, whether whole or freeze dried juice. Stick to rocket/arugula if you want a very high nitrate vegetable.

Benko, do you see those four lines of scientific citations with links to at least the abstract and sometimes the full text? They appear quite clearly on my screen.
