The Best Beet Juice for Performance & Blood Pressure (2026)

Searching for the best beet juice? You're not alone. Athletes and people managing blood pressure have made beet juice one of the fastest-growing functional juices in the world. But quality matters — most beet juices are diluted with apple juice, made from concentrate, or pasteurized into nutritional oblivion.

Pomona Organic Beet Juice is 100% pure cold-pressed beet juice — USDA Organic, never from concentrate, with zero added sugar. The cold-press process preserves the nitrates and betalains that make beet juice work.

How to use

• 2-3 hours pre-workout: Drink 8 oz for peak nitric oxide levels during exercise.
• Daily for blood pressure: 8 oz daily — the amount used in studies that reported average reductions of about 4-10 mmHg over 2-4 weeks.
• Morning energy: 4 oz first thing for clean, sustained energy without caffeine jitters.

FAQ

• Is Pomona beet juice 100% beet, or is it blended? — It's 100% pure organic beet juice — no apple, no carrot, no other juices added as fillers.
• How much beet juice should I drink for blood pressure? — Studies showing blood pressure improvements typically use 8-16 oz per day for at least 2-4 weeks. Start with 8 oz daily.
• Does cold-pressing preserve more nitrates than other methods? — Yes. Heat pasteurization can degrade nitrates significantly. Cold-pressing preserves them, along with betalains and other beneficial compounds.
• Will beet juice turn my urine pink? — It may — this is called beeturia and is completely harmless. About 10-14% of people experience it after drinking beet juice.
• How many milligrams of nitrate are in a bottle of beet juice? — Pomona Organic Beet Juice carries roughly 500-800 mg of naturally occurring dietary nitrate per 8.4 oz bottle, depending on the growing season. Most performance studies use 300-600 mg.
• Beet juice vs beetroot powder — which works better? — Juice is the form used in almost every published trial, because nitrate content is easier to verify. Powders vary widely and are sometimes made from beets processed with heat, which lowers nitrate levels.
• How long before a workout should I drink beet juice? — Plasma nitrite peaks about 2-3 hours after drinking, so drink 8 oz two to three hours before your session rather than right before it.
• Can you drink beet juice every day? — Most people do, and daily use is what the blood pressure research is built on. If you are prone to kidney stones or take blood-pressure medication, talk to your doctor first — beets are high in oxalates.
• Does mouthwash cancel out beet juice? — It can. Bacteria on your tongue convert dietary nitrate into nitrite, which is the step that leads to nitric oxide. Antibacterial mouthwash wipes out those bacteria, and studies show it blunts the effect.
• Is Pomona beet juice organic? — Yes. All Pomona juices are USDA Organic certified, including our beet juice.
