A University of Exeter study found that older adults who drank concentrated beetroot juice twice daily for two weeks experienced significant blood pressure reductions, while younger adults showed no such effect. The research suggests beetroot juice alters oral bacteria in ways that enhance the conversion of dietary nitrate to nitric oxide, which helps regulate blood vessel function.
