If you’re using Zen Principle’s Organic Beetroot Powder, this translates to 1-2 teaspoons per glass of water (or whichever liquid you prefer). While the beetroot is a superfood of health-beneficial nutrients like natural nitrates, fiber, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium, this root vegetable also contains high levels of oxalates. Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds present in most vegetables. Because they act as antinutrients and bind to calcium, they can increase the risk of calcium oxalate stone formation in your body. (Calcium oxalate stones are a type of kidney stones.) On top of that, oxalate-rich beets may contribute to the development of gout (a form of inflammatory arthritis). In fact, a 2009 study in the Journal of Urological Research suggests “a correlation between gout and calcium oxalate urinary stone” through the uric acid metabolism. With that said, a recent review in the Journal of Nutrients suggests that oxalates may not be “a major risk factor” for kidney stone formation. Two Nurses’ Health Studies also found that “dietary oxalate had little impact on kidney stone formation, while dietary calcium intake was inversely associated with kidney stone formation.” So, if you frequently have kidney stones, it’s best to be your own judge. Even better, consult a healthcare professional before supplementing with beetroot powder. Taking too much beetroot powder may also give you digestive discomfort in the form of gas, belching, or diarrhea. That’s due to the presence of FODMAPs (fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides, and polyols) naturally present in beets. Unfortunately, people with gastrointestinal issues, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), don’t react well to FODMAPs-rich foods. If you identify as such, it might be best to avoid beets altogether.
