Key Takeaways

SuperBeets is the US category leader, made by HumanN. It comes primarily as a powder you mix with water (4g per scoop) or as a chewable. Daily Beets is a UK-formulated capsule with concentrated beetroot extract plus seven other botanicals and a four-vitamin B complex.
The mechanism both products target is the same: dietary nitrate supports the body’s nitric oxide pathway, which contributes to normal vascular function as part of a balanced diet.
Format matters more than people expect. Capsules are easier to take consistently, deliver no sugar, and don’t require water or a glass. Powders are flexible but the daily ritual of mixing tends to be where compliance drops off.
Ingredient breadth differs. SuperBeets Original is a single-ingredient beetroot crystal product. Daily Beets is a multi-active formula (beetroot, hibiscus, grape seed extract, plus B6, folate, B12 and B1) designed around the broader nitric oxide and homocysteine metabolism story.
Neither product is a substitute for prescribed blood pressure medication. Both work alongside lifestyle inputs (food, movement, sleep) over a window measured in weeks, not days.

Who SuperBeets is built for

You’ve seen the SuperBeets ads. The American doctor with the impressive lab coat, the talk of “the secret to better blood flow”, the powder you mix with water. You’re wondering whether it’s actually any good, whether there’s a UK version that fits your fridge better, and whether you should just be eating beetroot from the supermarket instead. Reasonable questions.

SuperBeets is the brand made by HumanN, a US supplement company that has been in the beetroot-supplement market for over a decade. The flagship SuperBeets Original is a beetroot crystal powder you mix with 4 to 8 ounces of water, drink once a day, and the label suggests one 4-gram scoop delivers nitrate equivalent to roughly three whole beetroots.

HumanN has expanded the range over the years. There’s SuperBeets Heart Chews (chewable form with grape seed extract), SuperBeets Energy Plus (with caffeine), and SuperBeets Sport (positioned at exercise performance). The Original Powder remains the headline product and accounts for most of the brand’s recognition.

It’s built for an American mass-market beetroot-supplement buyer. The flavour is engineered to mask the earthy taste (apple-acai is the dominant variant), the marketing emphasises the “3 whole beetroots” equivalence, and the ritual is a glass-of-water-in-the-morning routine. None of which is bad. It’s a well-known product with a decade of market presence and a real research base.

What it isn’t built specifically for: UK adults over 50 who’d rather skip the sugar load (powders can sit at 3 to 5 grams of carbohydrate per serving even before sweetener), prefer not to add another drink to their morning, and want a multi-active formula rather than single-ingredient beetroot.

Who Daily Beets is built for

Daily Beets is made by Matter, a UK brand formulated in the UK. The format is a capsule, two of them per day, taken with water like any other supplement. There’s no powder to mix, no flavouring to adjust to, and no glass to wash.

The formula is built around the nitric oxide pathway but pulls in a few other levers. Per two-capsule serving:

150mg of beetroot extract at a 50:1 concentration ratio, which is the equivalent of 7,500mg of raw beetroot powder per dose
700mg of hibiscus extract (5:1), the most-researched single ingredient for supporting normal blood pressure as part of a balanced diet
200mg of grape seed extract, providing polyphenols associated with vascular function
Smaller doses of turmeric, tart cherry extract, blueberry, kale extract and broccoli extract
A four-vitamin B complex (B6 at 100% NRV, folate at 200%, B12 at 4,000%, B1 at 182%), the three of which (B6/folate/B12) carry the EU-approved claim for contributing to normal homocysteine metabolism

It’s designed for the UK 50+ buyer who’d rather have a single capsule routine than a daily glass-mixing ritual, who’s already paying attention to glycaemic control, and who wants the broader cardiovascular formula rather than single-ingredient beetroot. Two capsules a day, no sugar, no flavouring, no powder.

It’s also tracker-integrated. The Matter BP Tracker (free, browser-based) lets you log home readings and watch a 7, 28 and 90-day trend, which is useful if you’re going to commit a supplement to a 90-day window and want to see whether it’s actually moving the number.

What’s actually in each, side by side

The clearest way to compare is on a single table. The figures below are for the flagship versions of each: SuperBeets Original Powder and Daily Beets capsules (formula v3, current 2026 label).

Attribute	Daily Beets (Matter)	SuperBeets Original
Format	Capsule, two per serving	Powder, 4g scoop mixed with water
Beetroot dose	150mg of 50:1 extract (= 7,500mg raw equivalent)	4g of beetroot crystals (label cites equivalence to ~3 whole beetroots)
Additional botanicals	Hibiscus 700mg, grape seed 200mg, turmeric, tart cherry, blueberry, kale, broccoli	None in Original (Heart Chews variant adds grape seed)
B vitamins	B1, B6, folate, B12 (homocysteine support)	Not in formula
Added sugar / sweetener	None	Stevia (Original); varies by flavour
Brand origin	UK brand, formulated in the UK	US brand (HumanN)
Typical UK monthly cost (2026)	Subscription option available; see product page for current pricing	Around £35–45 per 30-serving canister
Tracking integration	Matter BP Tracker (free, browser-based)	None first-party

A note on the beetroot dose. SuperBeets Original uses a full-spectrum crystallised powder; the nitrate content per scoop varies a little batch to batch but the label equivalence to three whole beetroots is roughly accurate by nitrate weight. Daily Beets uses a concentrated extract; 150mg of 50:1 extract is mathematically equivalent to 7,500mg of raw beetroot powder, which is in the same range as the SuperBeets per-serving nitrate dose by most reported analyses.

The bigger functional difference is what sits alongside the beetroot. Daily Beets is a multi-active formula. SuperBeets Original is a single-active product. Whether the multi-active approach matters to you depends on whether you value broader coverage of the cardiovascular nutrient set or prefer a focused single-ingredient daily.

7,500mg

Raw beetroot equivalent per Daily Beets daily dose (150mg of 50:1 extract). The two formats deliver dietary nitrate in a similar range. The differences that matter for the buyer sit in what surrounds the beetroot: capsule vs powder, single active vs multi-active, sugar-free vs lightly sweetened, UK vs US brand origin.

What the evidence says about both

The evidence for dietary nitrate (which is the active mechanism in both products) is reasonably well-developed.

A 2021 review by Pikorska and colleagues, published in Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, looked at dietary nitrate intake and vascular function in older adults including the post-menopausal cohort. The core finding: dietary nitrate from beetroot, leafy greens and other vegetables supports the body’s nitric oxide pathway through a route that complements the endothelium’s own production. The pathway is responsive to consistent daily input over weeks.

HumanN, the SuperBeets parent, has funded and contributed to multiple clinical studies on its products over the past decade. The trials are generally small (typically 20 to 50 participants) and have shown changes in vascular markers, blood pressure-related endpoints, and athletic performance metrics in some populations. The methodology has been criticised in places, but the underlying mechanism (dietary nitrate supports nitric oxide) is independently well-evidenced.

Matter, as a younger UK brand, hasn’t yet sponsored independent trials on the Daily Beets formula specifically. The formula draws on the existing evidence base for each active: beetroot-derived nitrate (extensively studied), hibiscus extract (multiple randomised trials at meaningful doses for supporting healthy blood pressure as part of a balanced diet), grape seed extract polyphenols (vascular function research), and the B-vitamin trio (EU-approved health claims for homocysteine metabolism).

The honest picture: both products operate on a real mechanism. Neither product can claim it “lowers blood pressure” under UK regulation, which is correct. Both can support normal vascular function as part of a balanced diet, which is the language both should be using.

The format question (powder vs capsule)

This is the question that doesn’t show up in the marketing but matters more than it should.

Capsules require nothing other than swallowing them with water. Two capsules, breakfast or lunch, done. The compliance rate over a 90-day window for capsule-format supplements tends to be higher than for powders, simply because there’s no daily ritual to remember beyond the bottle on the kitchen counter.

Powders require water, a glass, the scoop, and the time to mix. Some people enjoy this. Some find it’s the first thing they drop on a busy morning. The flavouring helps with taste but adds sweetener, even when it’s stevia. For UK 50+ buyers paying attention to glycaemic control, even a small daily sweetener load is worth noticing.

Powders also travel less well. A bottle of capsules fits in luggage. A canister of powder generally doesn’t survive a holiday well, and improvising scoops with a tablespoon is the kind of friction that turns a six-month commitment into a three-week one.

Neither format is wrong. The right one is the one you’ll actually take three months from now.

Worth knowing

Cooked beetroot from the supermarket (the vacuum-packed ones in the produce section) is genuinely effective for dietary nitrate and costs roughly £1.50 to £2 per pack. Two beetroots a day, in salad or alongside other meals, hits a meaningful daily nitrate dose. Most supplement formats compress that into a single sachet or capsule for convenience, not because food doesn’t work.

A simple buyer’s framework

Three questions, in order:

Capsule or powder? If you have any history of skipping a daily ritual because life got in the way, capsules win on compliance. If you genuinely enjoy a morning drink and the ritual works for you, the powder option suits.
Single-ingredient or multi-active? If you want focused beetroot-only dosing and you’re already getting hibiscus, grape seed and B vitamins elsewhere, SuperBeets Original works. If you’d rather one supplement covers the broader cardiovascular nutrient set, Daily Beets is built for that.
UK or US brand? Either is fine clinically. The UK formulation means clearer compliance with UK regulatory language for advertised claims (a low-grade signal of how the brand thinks about evidence), and the Matter BP Tracker integration is something only the UK brand has built in.

The honest summary, from the brand publishing this article: Daily Beets is built for the UK 50+ buyer described above. If you fit that buyer, Daily Beets will probably work better for you. If you don’t (you prefer powders, you only want beetroot, you’re in the US), SuperBeets is a credible product and has been around long enough to have a real track record.

The wellness-supplement category is full of new entrants making large claims with little evidence. Both SuperBeets and Daily Beets are operating in the relatively grown-up end of that category, with real mechanisms and disclosed formulas. The choice between them is mostly a fit question, not an evidence question.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between SuperBeets and Daily Beets?

SuperBeets (HumanN, US) is primarily a beetroot crystal powder you mix with water; one 4g scoop equates to roughly three whole beetroots by nitrate content. Daily Beets (Matter, UK) is a capsule with concentrated beetroot extract (50:1, equivalent to 7,500mg raw per dose) plus hibiscus, grape seed extract, turmeric, tart cherry, blueberry, kale, broccoli, and a four-vitamin B complex. Same underlying mechanism (dietary nitrate supports the nitric oxide pathway). Different format, different breadth of formula, different brand origin.

Is SuperBeets available in the UK?

Yes, SuperBeets ships to the UK via the HumanN website and a small number of UK resellers, typically at around £35-45 per 30-serving canister as of 2026. The product range and pricing changes periodically, so check the current HumanN UK page if you’re comparing on price specifically. UK postage and import VAT sometimes apply at checkout depending on the route.

Which has more beetroot per serving, SuperBeets or Daily Beets?

By raw beetroot equivalence, they’re in a similar range. SuperBeets Original delivers about 4g of beetroot crystal powder per scoop (label cites this as nitrate-equivalent to roughly three whole beetroots). Daily Beets delivers 150mg of 50:1 beetroot extract per two-capsule dose, which is mathematically equivalent to 7,500mg of raw beetroot powder. Both sit in the daily-nitrate-dose range used in vascular function research. The bigger functional difference is the seven additional active ingredients in Daily Beets.

Is the powder format better than capsules?

Neither format is clinically better in terms of how the body uses dietary nitrate. The difference is practical. Capsules tend to have higher compliance rates over 90-day windows because there’s no ritual beyond swallowing two with water. Powders need a glass, a scoop, water, and time; they suit people who enjoy a morning drink ritual and find the flavour pleasant. The right format is the one you’ll actually take consistently for 8 to 12 weeks, which is how long it takes for the underlying vascular adaptation to show up in measurements.

Can I take SuperBeets and Daily Beets together?

In principle yes, but doing so means doubling up on the beetroot active and paying for two products that target the same pathway. Most people choose one or the other. If you’re on prescribed blood pressure medication, speak to your GP or pharmacist before adding any new supplement, single or stacked.

Are beetroot supplements actually worth taking?

If your diet already includes plenty of dietary nitrate (beetroot, rocket, spinach, kale, celery), the marginal benefit from a supplement is smaller. If your diet doesn’t reliably include those foods, a daily beetroot supplement is a denser way to keep the nitric oxide pathway supplied with what it needs. Both SuperBeets and Daily Beets operate on this principle. Neither is a substitute for prescribed medication or for the rest of a balanced diet.

The bottom line

SuperBeets is the established US category leader. Beetroot crystal powder, well-known brand, decade of market presence, mostly single-ingredient. Daily Beets is a UK-formulated capsule with a multi-active formula and BP Tracker integration, built specifically for the UK 50+ buyer who’d rather have a single morning capsule routine and the broader cardiovascular nutrient profile.

The choice is more about fit than about which is “better”. If you want a powder ritual and a focused beetroot dose, SuperBeets works. If you want a capsule and a broader formula with the homocysteine B-vitamin layer included, Daily Beets is the closer match.

Whichever you pick, give it a 90-day window with home monitoring across the period. A single reading a week before and a single reading a week into the new supplement tells you very little. Twelve weeks of paired morning and evening readings tells you something useful.
