Force Factor Total Beets: Review of These Chewable Blood Pressure Support Tablets—Worth It?
Force Factor Total Beets is beet nitrate in chewable candy form instead of powder capsules, and that's the whole point of the purchase. If the earthy taste of beet powder drove you away and you quit after two weeks—chewables might be your second chance at sticking with it. But this is a supplement for blood pressure support, not medicine, so don't expect pharmaceutical-level effects.
Dad calls monthly asking, "what else can I take for blood pressure besides what the cardiologist prescribed." And I explain the same thing every time—supplements like beet nitrate don't replace pills, they help blood vessels relax a bit easier at best. But here's where format actually turned out to matter: he tried beet powder mixed in water for two weeks, and the taste of earth and beets at breakfast on an empty stomach broke his willpower. So when something in chewable candy form shows up, it's not just marketing "easier"—it's literally a different chance for a person to finish the jar instead of abandoning it at two weeks.
What this is and why chewables matter
Force Factor is an American sports nutrition brand usually known for pre-workout and testosterone boosters, so beet-based blood pressure support is a surprise in their lineup. But the logic is simple: nitrates from beets (the same ones that transform to nitric oxide in your body) are popular both for athletic endurance and cardiovascular support. So Total Beets is basically the same ingredient, just marketed with focus on maintaining healthy blood pressure rather than running speed on the track.
Format is a chewable candy, like regular gummy vitamins, only denser and less sweet than kids' multivitamins. Taste is tart more than "earthy beet," which is literally the whole reason this exists separately from cheaper powder. Because powder is probably chemically doing the same thing—same nitrate content, lower price per serving. But powder needs mixing, smells like garden after rain, and half the people who buy it forget about it in the fridge after a week. Chewable format doesn't have that problem because it feels like a candy, not a supplement you're forcing yourself to take.
How it works in practice
Nitrate effect isn't immediate like caffeine. This is more cumulative: take it regularly a few weeks, and somewhere in the background it gets easier to breathe on a walk, less "heaviness" in temples in the evening. It's subjective stuff, and honest review has to admit—here's no "wow, pressure dropped in an hour" effect. If you have hypertension requiring medical control, this jar of chews isn't a replacement for the prescription, maximum it's a side companion.
Worth comparing not to drugs but to other beet nitrate forms—concentrated shots like Beet It or capsules from competitors like HumanN SuperBeets. Shots work faster and more concentrated, but cost more per serving and require drinking on empty stomach daily, which becomes routine people quit. SuperBeets in capsules—more convenient to swallow, but without that psychological bonus of "this is actually tasty candy," which keeps people compliant longer. Total Beets bets on exactly that: a product you actually want to eat, not one you have to force yourself to take.
Downside though: sugar is present, like in any chewable supplement, so if you watch glycemic index or already have prediabetic state—look at the label before buying, not after. Second nuance—nitrate dose per chew is usually lower than concentrated shot or full powder serving, so for some people the effect will be softer than they expected after reading beet juice reviews.
Who should buy and who shouldn't
This is for people who already tried beet nitrate in another format, believed in the idea, but hit a wall with taste or inconvenience—and now want another shot at sticking with it. Also fits people with moderately elevated blood pressure who follow doctor's advice and add supporting supplements on the side, not replacing therapy.
Skip if you expect clinical effect like prescription medication—wrong level. And if sugar in diet is already controlled for diabetes or insulin resistance, check with doctor first rather than just tossing it in the cart, because "natural, beets" doesn't override medical concerns.
Price on the bottle runs roughly $24.49, and with shipping and customs clearance to your country, the total climbs—something to budget for upfront. Compared to monthly capsule courses from competitors, roughly the same price range, so it's more about which format you'll actually finish than cost difference.
Wrap-up
Force Factor Total Beets is honest in its class: not a miracle, not a drug substitute, but a convenient way to take beet nitrate without the ritual of "pinch nose and drink this." Main value isn't chemistry, it's compliance—people rarely quit when the supplement tastes good. If that was your past problem with powder or shots, take a chance. If you already discipline-take supplements without complaints, paying extra for chew format doesn't make sense.
FAQ
Research shows moderate effects on relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow, but this doesn't replace doctor-prescribed therapy for hypertension. Think supporting supplement, not treatment.
Powder usually gives higher nitrate concentration per serving and costs less, but you have to mix it and tolerate the taste. Chews lose on concentration, win on the fact that people actually finish the jar instead of abandoning it halfway.
Depends on dosing on the label, but typically one month supply at daily dose. If you plan longer, budget for several bottles upfront accounting for international shipping.
Theoretically yes, but check with doctor first, especially if you take blood pressure meds or blood thinners—nitrates can theoretically amplify effects of some drugs.
