Is a Blood Pressure Supplement Powder From Beets Backed by the Nitrate Research?
A blood pressure supplement powder made from beets rests on nitrate research that used mostly juice. A review of 16 short trials found inorganic nitrate and beetroot juice lowered systolic pressure by 4.4 mm Hg on average. That result does not rate any powder, and Melonex is a capsule with no beet.

What does the nitrate research on beets show?
The nitrate research shows a modest drop in systolic pressure over short periods. A pooled analysis of 16 randomized trials, 254 people, lasting 2 hours to 15 days, found a 4.4 mm Hg fall in systolic pressure with inorganic nitrate and beetroot juice (Siervo 2013, nitrate meta-analysis).
The 1.1 mm Hg change in diastolic pressure was not statistically significant. Bigger daily nitrate doses went with bigger systolic changes, and the authors asked for longer trials (Siervo 2013, nitrate meta-analysis).
| Measure | Result |
|---|---|
| Trials / people | 16 / 254 |
| Length | 2 hours to 15 days |
| Systolic change | 4.4 mm Hg lower |
| Diastolic change | 1.1 mm Hg, not significant |
Is a blood pressure supplement powder the same as the tested juice?
A powder is not automatically the same as the juice that was tested. The review pooled inorganic nitrate and beetroot juice, not powders (Siervo 2013, nitrate meta-analysis).
So the useful questions are about the product in your hand. Three checks apply to any powder:
Nitrate amount
Does the label state it, or only "beet"?
Serving size
Can you compare it with trial doses?
Other ingredients
Is every one named?
How is Melonex different from a beet powder?
Melonex is a capsule, not a powder, and it works through a different idea. Its three amino acid forms are building blocks the body uses to make nitric oxide (Cziraki 2020, arginine-NO pathway).
No beet, no nitrate and no trial of the product exist. The nitric oxide basics guide explains both routes, and the ingredients page lists each line.

FAQ01
Melonex questions people ask
Does beet powder lower blood pressure?
Not shown for powders in the source we use. A 16-trial review of nitrate and beetroot juice found a 4.4 mm Hg systolic drop in short trials. Ask your clinician before relying on it.
Was the nitrate review long enough to trust for years of use?
No. The trials lasted 2 hours to 15 days, and the authors called for longer trials in higher-risk groups.
Does Melonex contain beet or nitrate?
No. The label lists citrulline malate, two forms of arginine and capsule ingredients only.
