Salus Red Beet Crystals are an easy and convenient way to boost your vitamin, mineral, and fiber intake. Made from organic fresh pressed beets that have been harvested within 2-3 hours and 8x more concentrated than beet juice. Beets contain antioxidants for immunity and fiber to aid digestion and elimination. They have a high nitrate content which is broken down by saliva into nitrites, then further turns to nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide causes the blood vessels to relax, benefiting blood pressure and circulation. Increased oxygen uptake is also useful for muscle performance and cardiovascular capacity during exercise. Beets are highly alkaline, reducing body acidity to support a healthy pH balance. Processed foods, stress, and environmental toxins all contribute to over acidity. Including more fruit and vegetables in the diet is vital for alkalinity and health. Beets support liver function and cleansing. They are a source of betaine hydrochloric acid which aids in digestion by increasing our stomach acid to break down food properly into its finer nutrients. Beets are vitamin and mineral rich such as calcium, iron, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, manganese, and potassium, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, and folate. Loaded with electrolytes, beet crystals or powder are great to add to your water before or after being active!
Along with these many reasons to consume more beets, they're delicious! Crystals can be stirred into water, added to smoothies or food.
Be well,

It’s hard to believe, but a billion people suffer from migraine headaches. They can cause intense, throbbing pain; nausea; vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound that can seriously affect your quality of life.
This double-blind study gave 65 people who suffer from migraines without aura a placebo or curcumin for 8 weeks.
Compared to placebo, the curcumin significantly improved severity, duration and frequency of migraines. It also significantly improved headache impact, stress, sleep quality and quality of life. The curcumin safely brought relief to the migraine sufferers with no adverse effects.
