You can buy it on Amazon or at most sporting good stores. It will probably be near the cash register!

Hi Keith–Thanks for reading and for your question. What you are reading online is correct–beets are high in oxalates, which can cause kidney stones in those that are susceptible to them. It may be better for you to avoid beetroot juice, since a kidney stone would probably sideline you, rather than help performance. Sorry that I forgot to mention that in my video!

I started drinking 1 cup of beetroot juice daily, I’d use a shot glass until I got used to the taste. A couple weeks ago I quite drinking it, I read that beetroot juice can cause kidney stones. I’m training for my black belt test in Krav Maga and would really like to continue drinking the juice as I have definitely seen the benefits in blood flow and performance. But, I had a tiny kidney stone last year and will do anything to avoid going through that again. Have you heard anything about beetroot juice potentially causing kidney stones? Thanks, Keith
