Beetroot — What It Is, What It Does, Indian Food Sources

How KABO describes it“Nitrate-packed for stamina and blood flow”
Beetroot

What it actually is

Dried chukandar. Its useful compounds are dietary nitrates and betalains, the pigments responsible for that unmistakable colour.

What it does in the body

Dietary nitrate converts in the body to nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels. This is one of the better-evidenced ergogenic effects in sports nutrition — though the studies use concentrated beetroot juice in far larger amounts than a blended shake provides.

Where else to get it

Beetroot in poriyal, salad or juice. Cheap and everywhere.

In the formula

Part of the vegetable blend rather than a performance ingredient at this dose.

KABO does not publish a milligram-by-milligram breakdown of every micronutrient, so this page describes what the ingredient is and what it is needed for rather than how much of it a serving contains. The full ingredient list is printed on every pack and set out at kabo.co.in/pages/ingredients. This is general nutrition information, not medical advice — if you are pregnant, managing a medical condition or taking medication, talk to your doctor before changing what you take.
