Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q1. How much beet juice should I drink for blood pressure lowering effects?
- Studies have shown blood pressure lowering effects 2-3 hours after consuming 250-500ml of beet juice (or equivalent to 400-500mg of nitrates) per day. However, when blending raw beets, 1/4 to 1/2 beet (approx. 50-100g) is a guideline. Consistent daily consumption helps maintain the effects.
- Q2. Is celery juice really effective for high blood pressure?
- Phthalides (3-n-butylphthalide) found in celery have been shown to have blood pressure lowering effects in animal studies and some clinical research. However, large-scale human clinical trials are still limited. Incorporating it as part of a dietary regimen can be beneficial, but it is not a substitute for antihypertensive drugs.
- Q3. I'm concerned about the smell of garlic juice, how can I reduce it?
- Four effective methods are: â add more apples and lemons, â¡ microwave garlic for 30 seconds before use (some odorous compounds volatilize), ⢠chew parsley or mint after drinking, and ⣠drink before bedtime (the smell will be reduced by the next morning).
