BEETROOT VITALITY TONIC
Beetroot Vitality Tonic is a powerful, nutrient-dense drink that combines the earthy richness of beetroot, the natural sweetness of carrot and the bright, citrusy zing of orange. This refreshing blend is packed with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making it an excellent choice for boosting energy, improving circulation and supporting overall wellness. Beetroot is known for its high nitrate content, which helps enhance blood flow and endurance, while carrots provide beta-carotene for eye health and immune support. The addition of fresh orange not only adds a sweet, tangy flavour but also supplies a potent dose of vitamin C to strengthen immunity. This juice is perfect for starting the day on a refreshing note, rehydrating after a workout or as a midday pick-me-up. With no added sugars or artificial ingredients, it’s a naturally delicious and revitalising beverage that fuels the body with wholesome goodness.
