Pay attention to side effects!
WARNING--Please Read!!! I've always had high blood pressure, am currently on blood pressure medication, but even then it was still a little elevated. Bought this to help lower it even more and get it down to normal. I started taking this Beet Root, and almost immediately I started getting heart palpitations/fluttering occasionally when I was at rest, and it progressively got worse to the point that I never wanted to sit down, had to keep moving so my heart rate was always a little elevated because it wouldn't flutter then. The palpitations were bad, could feel my chest pounding, but only every few minutes. I went to the doctor, and my blood pressure was perfect, my heart rate was perfect when it wasn't acting up, so I was convinced that the Beet Root works. But for the palpitations, I got an EKG and of course it showed nothing because it is only a 12 second snapshot and my heart wasn't acting up at the time, so I scheduled an appointment with a cardiologist. A few days later, I was researching "heart fluttering while at rest" on the web, and the very last cause listed was "herbal supplements". I'm mad at myself because I didn't put 2 & 2 together before, but the palpitations started the day after I started the Beet Root. I immediately quit taking the beet root and the heart palpitations slowly started to go away a little more each day as I was getting it out of my system. Within 4 days, they were gone completely. Don't get me wrong, I believe this stuff works, but maybe it's not good in conjunction with blood pressure medication, or maybe my body just rejected it, but please, if you have any side effects that start when you begin taking this--STOP!!!
