Beetroot is rich in antioxidants. These can strengthen cells and vessels and can support the regeneration of the heart and the immune system. It is even said to help with high blood pressure, as narrowed blood vessels expand again.
It can also have a blood-purifying effect, deacidify the organism and stimulate metabolism.
The beets are rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and iron as well as the B group vitamins, vitamin C and folic acid. The intense red dye betanin is also used as a colorant in the food industry.
Maca powder is said to revitalize, combat fatigue and strengthen the immune system. It provides the body with important omega-3 fatty acids.
It contains selenium and magnesium in small amounts. But it shines with its vitamin C content as well as E and B vitamins.
Maca powder tastes slightly sweet and is therefore delicious in juices or smoothies.
Freshly squeezed orange juice contains around 400 to 500 mg of vitamin C per liter. Its potassium and folic acid content are also worth mentioning.
The homeland of beetroot is the Mediterranean region. In the beginning the beetroot was just a root and through long cultivation it was developed into a tuber.
A special feature of beetroot is its long shelf life. It is said that the tuber gains vitamin C through storage.
