Findings to review with care

Side effects reported for the ingredient alone are separated from findings involving another supplement or medication.

Side effects reported when this ingredient was used alone

Symptoms or adverse events reported in studies of this ingredient without another active ingredient.

Adverse effect signal1 papers
A randomized controlled trial observed that consumption of concentrated beetroot juice caused a significant increase in the level of N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) in the urine of healthy adults.Human studies · Study type not identified

Positive combinations studied

Positive combination findings are separated by how the study compared the groups. This is not a recommendation to combine them.

Positive findings when used together

The combination had a positive result, but the contribution of each ingredient could not be separated.

CaffeineIn a randomized crossover trial of 20 healthy males, the combination of caffeine and beetroot juice significantly improved 1,000-m running performance compared to placebo (p < 0.01).
