Organic Beetroot Juice — Cold-Pressed, Nitrate-Rich, 100% Pure
Beetroot juice (also called beet juice) is the cold-pressed liquid from red beets — one of nature's most concentrated sources of dietary nitrates. Pomona Organic Beetroot Juice is 100% pure, USDA Organic, never from concentrate, and contains zero added sugar. Every 8.4 oz bottle is roughly the juice of two to three whole organic beets.
Because we cold-press instead of heat-pasteurizing at high temperatures, the nitrates, betalains, and heat-sensitive vitamins that make beetroot juice worth drinking arrive in your glass intact. That's why athletes, cardiologists, and researchers keep coming back to beetroot juice as one of the most studied functional beverages in the world.
Health benefits
- Blood Pressure Support: In clinical trials using 8 oz of beetroot juice daily, participants' average systolic readings fell by about 4-10 mmHg over 2-4 weeks.
- Endurance & VO₂ Efficiency: Dietary nitrates convert to nitric oxide, reducing the oxygen cost of exercise by 3-5% and extending time-to-exhaustion in trained athletes.
- Cerebral Blood Flow: Nitric-oxide-driven vasodilation improves blood flow to the brain's frontal lobe, supporting focus, reaction time, and long-term cognitive resilience.
- Anti-Inflammatory Betalains: Betalains — the pigments that give beetroot its ruby-red color — are potent antioxidants that reduce systemic inflammation and oxidative stress.
Nutrition highlights
- ~500-800 mg dietary nitrates per 8.4 oz
- Rich in betalains (betanin, vulgaxanthin)
- Natural source of folate & manganese
- Zero added sugar · USDA Organic
How to use
- Pre-Workout Loading: Drink 8 oz of beetroot juice 2-3 hours before exercise. Nitric oxide peaks in this window, delivering the endurance and oxygen-economy benefits documented in over 80 peer-reviewed studies.
- Daily Cardiovascular Protocol: 8 oz beetroot juice once daily for 2-4 weeks. Clinical trials consistently show measurable systolic blood pressure reductions in this timeframe.
- Cognitive Morning Ritual: 4-8 oz with breakfast increases cerebral blood flow throughout the morning — a research-backed alternative to caffeine for sustained focus.
FAQ
- Is beetroot juice the same as beet juice? — Yes. 'Beetroot' is the British/international name for the same red root vegetable Americans call 'beet.' Pomona's Organic Beet Juice and organic beetroot juice are the exact same product — 100% pure, cold-pressed, USDA Organic.
- How much beetroot juice should I drink daily? — For blood pressure and athletic-performance benefits, clinical studies consistently use 8 oz (250 ml) of pure beetroot juice per day. A single Pomona bottle is 8.4 fl oz — one bottle per day matches the dose used in published research.
- How long does it take beetroot juice to lower blood pressure? — Short-term: studies observed systolic readings beginning to fall within 2-3 hours of a single 8 oz serving. Long-term: the largest average reductions reported (about 4-10 mmHg systolic) appeared after 2-4 weeks of daily intake.
- When should I drink beetroot juice before a workout? — 2-3 hours before exercise is the research-backed window. Nitrate-to-nitric-oxide conversion peaks in that timeframe, giving you maximum vasodilation and oxygen efficiency during your session.
- Is cold-pressed beetroot juice better than powder? — For total nitrate delivery and bioavailability, cold-pressed pure beetroot juice is the gold standard used in most clinical trials. Powders and shots vary widely in concentration and often add flavorings or sweeteners. Pomona is 100% pure organic beetroot — nothing added, nothing removed.
- Why does my urine turn pink after drinking beetroot juice? — It's called beeturia and it's completely harmless. About 10-14% of people have a genetic variation that causes betalain pigments to pass through unmetabolized. It clears within 24-48 hours and is not a sign of blood or a health issue.
- Does organic beetroot juice have added sugar? — Pomona Organic Beetroot Juice has zero added sugar. All sweetness is naturally occurring from the beets themselves — roughly 16g of natural sugar per 8.4 oz bottle, comparable to a small serving of fruit.
