Pomona Organic Beet Juice

I don't normally write a review, but after 6 months of using Pomona Organic Pure Beet Juice, I felt it was time. I'm now 50 and have been through 2 major back surgeries and several injections over the past 3 years due to spondylitis (inflammation of the vertebra). In addition, I had been on 800 mg of Gabapentin (nerve medication) and 400 mg of Celebrex (NSAID, anti-inflamatory) during those 3 years. While the majority of my issues were resolved with the surgeries and injections, I was still experiencing mild leg & foot spasms and pain when the nerves were irritated. The medications were helping, but not completely and I was already on a high dose. I didn't want to be on a higher dose of the medication or on meds indefinitely. I wanted to stop using the medication so I started doing research on ways to help control my spondylitis naturally. I then came across several blogs/articles referencing the benefits of beet juice with regards to blood flow through the nerves. So, I thought, "I have a juicing machine, I'll get fresh beets and make my own juice." I did, but when I did, I only got a small amount for the effort put into making the juice. Then I looked up natural organic beet juices I can buy on amazon and came across Pomona's. I bought 1 case to try. It tasted pretty good. A little expensive (~$48/case of 12), but good and they each were literally a single serving size (8.4 oz), perfect. I started having one bottle every morning to take with my meds and vitamins. Fast forward 2-1/2 months. We were going on a family vacation, to Disney, and I even had the beet juice delivered to my Disney hotel so I wouldn't miss taking it each morning. Fast forward again, to present day. I'm happy to say I've was able to stop using both Gabapentin and Celebrix about 1-1/2 months ago after introducing Pomona's Organic Beet Juice into my diet and a slow taper from the medications. Starting last week, I chose to drink 2 bottles per day due to further research. One in the morning and one in the evening. I also made some other dietary changes (e.g., adding maca and tumeric powder, chia and flaxseeds, etc) along with moderate exercise and acupuncture. I did this all (including the beet juice) with my Neurosurgeons consent. More importantly, as stated earlier, I noticed a decrease in my symptoms shortly after introducing Pomona's Organic Beet Juice into my diet. The things I shared here worked for me. Remember everyone responds differently. Personally, I would highly recommend the beet juice by Pomona and suggest taking advantage of the auto shipment on Amazon. I currently save 15% (~$40 compared to $48 per case) by auto shipping. You'll get a little over 1 month buying 3 cases (12/case) if you drink 1 bottle per day. However, you get 1 month buying 5 cases and drinking 2 bottles per day. Bottom line for me is I'd rather spend approximately $2,400 per year at 2 bottles per day instead of having another back surgery which can cost $5-7K+ (out of pocket) plus 2-3 months of lost work for each back surgery; not to mention time missed from work in between due to pain. I do wish there was more of a price break for those buying multiple cases. Again, a little expensive. Final note: Every situation is different and you should always speak with your medical team (doctor, surgeon, etc) before making any dietary changes. If you have no major medical conditions and are just making a life style change you should still be sure to do a "healthy dose" of research before trying. I hope this helps someone else when deciding to buy Pomona's Organic Beet Juice.

For me, I received excellent health benefits from using this organic and pure product. Helped to lower my blood pressure. The taste is excellent. The touch of lemon helps to combat the earth "dirt" taste that beets are know to have. It is expensive, but the health benefits significantly outweighed the cost.

Excellent stimulant for nitric oxide production in the body resulting in lowering of blood pressure and improved cardiac oxygenation especially in individuals with symptoms of congestive heart failure yet have preserved pulmonary ejection fraction.

Not bad on ice good price good value , everyone likes it

This beet juice is very strong tasting. It tastes like the best you could ever get out of squeezing beets. The only problem is that it's so strong that it's almost overpowering. If I add some ground cinnamon to it, it definitely makes it tastes more delicious. The other thing is that it doesn't taste very good at room temperature, but it does taste pretty nice chilled.

This is good stuff. I'm not sure if I can always pay so much for it. But it is quality. And is delicious

My urologist recommended I drink this for the nitric oxide since I get cold sores from arginine and so I can't take arginine as a supplement. Nor did I want to take a chance with l-citrulline, because that converts to l-arginine in the body, and it just wasn't worth the risk to me. So I went the beetroot juice route. The first case of beetroot juice was wonderful. Now, let me qualify that by saying that I am a person who eats and likes beets, so I had a general idea what to expect, flavor-wise. The earthy taste varied slightly from bottle to bottle, but I expected that since I have a professional juicing machine at home and find some inconsistencies in most everything I juice. But most important, this Pomona juice really works wonderfully. However, I had to lower my rating because the second case was just dreadful; I had to force a couple of the bottles down because of just how much they tasted like dirt. I expect a good amount of earthy flavor, and, of course, differences in flavor between different cases, and I can drink and tolerate pretty much anything, but not this second batch. It also looked much browner than the first case, and even though I was able to force down most of the second case because the positive effects continued (and so I certainly was incentivized by the results), I finally had to give up before I finished that second case. All the bottles in that case were rough, and, like I said, were worth forcing down, but a couple of bottles were so nasty that they literally turned my stomach, so I had to take a couple of stars away. I'm going to try out some of the other brands to see if they work as well, because, for it's health benefits, beetroot juice rocks!

Very Good Product. Recommend for Health. Tip for benefits don’t use mouth wash as the bacteria in your mouth reacts with the beets to make nitrous oxide for heart health. Learning whst to eat, drink and use along with things you take is Key into getting your products.

Happy with purchase

le colis était extremement bien fait, pas de risque de casse - ce jus est vraiment très bon (si on aime la betterave) mais surtout les bienfaits sur la santé sont très nombreux - difficile de trouver (par chez moi) du jus de betterave - prix tout à fait raisonnable - je recommande

Personalmente non sono riuscito a berne nemmeno una bottiglietta... il resto le ho regalate. Sapore di terra, misto a verdura acerba.

The taste was ok but very bitty and dirt flavour. Other than the bits it did have a smooth texture and good colour. Although Better versions on the market.
