Summary
Beet juice was one of four ingredients in a home juicing blend that taniaaust1 credited with helping her symptoms somewhat. She could not isolate beet juice's individual contribution, since the recipe combined it with three other unspecified juiced ingredients. No illness duration or severity was given. She described the effect only as having helped her some, without quantifying the improvement. The post includes no follow-up on whether she kept making the blend or whether the benefit lasted.
What they credit
Credits Nitric-oxide boosters (beetroot, arginine, citrulline).
