Always been an omnivorous reader. Mostly consult the internet nowadays.

Been interested in nutrition for a long time. Taken various supplements since I was forty, and a lot more since COPD diagnosis. Thoroughly research everything I take. One thing leads to another . . .

Yes I have but my husband would only try it for a week!!! So I couldnt tell you if it did work or not! xx

Yes, the test results were impressive so I trotted off and bought the beetroot juice... No idea if it'd help me or not as it was so disgusting I was physically unable to swallow it!

I find it delicious. Maybe it's just a matter of personal taste, but if the one you tried was that revolting I wonder if it had 'gone off' ?

love beetroot - pickled preferred- maybe it is the vinegar - but don't be alarmed by the coloured wee!

I'm suprised that no one has replied to your question about beetroot juice.. I read about it about three or four years ago and was taking it for awhile.. don't knpw why but I eventually stopped and forgot about it.. I guess other issues took over, I shouyld give it another try.. If I remember correctly it was a research project at Essex that came up with the findings..

Try using Google to get some info..

Good luck .. I'm sure it's better than a lot of the pharmacy medicines..
