Martha Stewart says her cardiologist compared a simple smoothie add-in<\/a> to “taking Ozempic” \u2014 and now she uses it every day.<\/p>\n

The lifestyle icon revealed on a recent episode of her podcast that her cardiologist recommended beetroot powder, which she described as beneficial for cardiovascular health and weight loss.<\/a><\/p>\n

“You lose weight with it,” Stewart told her guest, author and jewelry designer Jennifer Fischer. “It’s extremely good for heart health.”<\/p>\n

Best of all, she added, it’s “so delicious,” enhancing her daily green juice of spinach, cucumber, ginger, orange peel, celery and parsley.<\/p>\n

“It’s a very good juice,<\/a> but now the beets make it even better,” Stewart said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m quite pleased with the beets,” she said during the episode. “I don’t know if it’s acted like Ozempic with me yet, but we’ll see,” she said during the episode.<\/p>\n

Beyond juices and smoothies, the vibrant powder can be stirred into yogurt, oatmeal<\/a> or hummus. It can also be baked into cakes and even pasta dough.<\/p>\n

Nutrition experts say beetroot works very differently from the GLP-1 drug Ozempic, and there is limited evidence it directly causes sustained weight loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead of affecting appetite or blood sugar hormones, it supports circulation by boosting nitric oxide, with studies linking it to modest benefits such as lower blood pressure<\/a>, improved exercise performance and possible cognitive support.<\/p>\n

“Beetroot, whether in powder or juice form, is rich in inorganic nitrates,” said Theresa Link, a Nebraska-based registered dietitian for Virta Health, a telehealth provider specializing in type 2 diabetes, prediabetes and obesity.<\/p>\n

“Once you consume them, your body converts those nitrates into nitric oxide, a molecule that helps relax and widen blood vessels,” Link told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“When blood vessels relax, several things happen: Blood pressure can decrease, blood flow improves, oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues increases and overall cardiovascular efficiency may improve.”<\/p>\n

Nitric oxide may also help mitochondria work more efficiently and use oxygen more effectively. This is why beet products are promoted for heart health<\/a> and exercise performance, Link said.<\/p>\n

A review published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that beetroot juice supplements may enhance high-intensity exercise performance and support endurance.<\/p>\n

Drinking beet juice has also been shown to modestly lower blood pressure in several studies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a 2025 study published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine, adults who drank beetroot juice twice daily for two weeks experienced significant reductions in blood pressure.<\/a><\/p>\n

Other research suggests the effects may be short-lived. Blood pressure reductions can peak within a few hours of drinking beet juice<\/a> and wear off within about 10 hours \u2014 meaning consistent intake may be needed to maintain the benefit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Experts note that while the reductions can be worthwhile, beet juice is not a replacement for prescribed blood pressure medication.<\/p>\n

There is also emerging research on cognitive function. In a small trial published in the European Journal of Nutrition, adults who took a single 3-gram chewable beetroot supplement<\/a> showed improvements in certain memory measures, though scientists noted more research is needed.<\/p>\n

For those inspired by Stewart’s juice routine, experts say form matters.<\/p>\n

“High-quality beetroot powder is much more concentrated in inorganic nitrates than whole beets,” Link noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You can often get a similar nitrate dose from about 1 tablespoon of powder as you would from several whole beets. That means you’re getting the potential nitric oxide benefits with fewer total carbohydrates and less food volume.”<\/p>\n

Even so, Link said that “when you choose powder, you miss out on the natural fiber found in whole beets, which supports digestion, gut health<\/a> and blood sugar balance.”<\/p>\n

Link advised shoppers to read labels carefully.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Try to choose standardized extracts versus dehydrated beet powder, since standardized extracts tell you exactly how much nitrate is in each scoop,” Link said.<\/p>\n

As with many plant-based supplements<\/a>, sourcing and quality can vary.<\/p>\n

Some beetroot supplements have tested positive for trace heavy metals such as cadmium and lead, so experts recommend choosing powders that undergo third-party testing for quality and purity.<\/p>\n

Beet supplements are also not for everyone, experts note \u2014 including those with kidney stones, low blood pressure or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).<\/p>\n
