Beetroot powder

There are many reasons to add EtikHA pro-collagen vegan powder supplement to your daily routine:

Beetroot powder has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and also has antihypertensive, hepatoprotective and healing properties.

Beets contain B vitamins including folate, and vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene. It is a good source of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Vitamin C is necessary for the proper enzymatic functioning of proline and lysine to produce collagen. It therefore acts as a cofactor for collagen-producing enzymes. It is also rich in minerals including phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, iron, potassium, sodium and manganese. It is rich in antioxidants and nitrate which will be transformed into nitrite and then nitric oxide, which has a positive effect on blood pressure and cardiovascular health. Nitric oxide also plays a role in tendon prevention and healing by increasing collagen synthesis. ^(2-3-4) Beet also improves physical and mental performance with increased neuroplasticity ⁽¹⁾
