                                According to a 2023 study on anemic rats, a beetroot extract supplement was found to be more effective at improving hemoglobin and red blood cell count than a conventional iron supplement. While this is a promising finding, understanding the full role of red beet in addressing low iron requires a deeper look at its nutritional profile and how it compares to other iron sources.
