4500mg of beetroot and Montmorency cherry per capsule — 2250mg of each, as equivalent weight from concentrated extract. Plus turmeric root, black pepper and vitamin B6, which carries the authorised claims. Particularly popular with athletes.
Why 4500mg in One Capsule Matters
Beetroot and tart cherry are both bulky as raw foods — which is why most people take them as juice, and why beetroot shots exist as a category. Concentrating them into extract form means a single capsule delivers the equivalent of 4500mg of the two combined, without drinking half a litre of anything.
Beetroot is one of the richest dietary sources of naturally occurring nitrate, and it also contains betaine (trimethylglycine), a naturally occurring compound particularly concentrated in beetroot. Montmorency is the specific sour cherry variety — Prunus cerasus — used in most published tart cherry research, rather than generic cherry powder.
Vitamin B6 at 2mg (142% NRV) does the regulated work: it contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the regulation of hormonal activity, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal protein and glycogen metabolism, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
How Other UK Beetroot Products Compare
Beet It shots — the athlete standard, but liquid. Well-researched concentrated beetroot shots, widely used in sport. Effective, but a liquid you have to drink, at a higher cost per serving, with no cherry or B6.
Beetroot powder — cheap, bulky, earthy. Inexpensive per gram but requires mixing, tastes strongly of beetroot, and delivers no tart cherry.
Single tart cherry capsules — one ingredient. Montmorency cherry alone, without the beetroot, turmeric or B6, and rarely halal certified.

How to Take It
Take 1 capsule, one to three times per day, preferably with food. Athletes commonly take beetroot ahead of training or competition; for general daily use, one capsule with breakfast works well.
For a broader antioxidant blend, Acai Bio Complex also contains beetroot at 500mg alongside acai and pomegranate. For higher-dose turmeric, CurcuminBoost.
Is This You?
- You train, and want beetroot and tart cherry without drinking shots or mixing powders
- You want both superfoods in one capsule rather than buying them separately
- You want the Montmorency variety specifically, not generic cherry powder
- You need halal and kosher approved sports nutrition — beetroot shots and cherry capsules rarely carry either
- You'd rather have vitamin B6 for tiredness and fatigue built in than take it separately

Questions We Get Asked
How does 4500mg fit in one capsule?
It is equivalent weight from extract. The beetroot and cherry are concentrated, so 2250mg of each is delivered as a much smaller quantity of extract inside the capsule. That is standard practice for herbal and food extracts, and it is why a capsule can match what would otherwise be a large volume of juice or powder.
Why Montmorency specifically?
Montmorency is a particular variety of sour or tart cherry — Prunus cerasus — and it is the variety used in most of the published research on tart cherry. Suppliers who use generic cherry powder cannot say which variety it is. This one is named on the label.
What is betaine and dietary nitrate?
Betaine, also called trimethylglycine, is a naturally occurring compound found in plants and particularly concentrated in beetroot. Dietary nitrate is an inorganic compound found naturally in soil and water, with the highest dietary levels occurring in vegetables — beetroot among the richest. Both occur naturally in the beetroot rather than being added.
Which ingredient carries the authorised claim?
Vitamin B6, at 2mg or 142% of the Nutrient Reference Value. It contributes to normal immune function, the regulation of hormonal activity, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal protein and glycogen metabolism, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Beetroot and tart cherry carry no authorised claims of their own.
Food supplements should not replace a varied diet or healthy lifestyle. Beetroot may temporarily colour urine or stools red, which is harmless. Consult your GP before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescription medication including blood pressure or blood-thinning medication, or managing a diagnosed health condition.
