What Is Nitric Oxide?
Nitric oxide —abbreviated as “NO” —is a gas. We make it naturally within our blood vessels. It plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the body. Some of the things nitric oxide does include:
- lowers blood pressure
- improves erections
- helps cells communicate with each other
- helps the immune system function
While beets can boost nitric oxide levels, so too can exercise and eat green vegetables.
SuperBeets Ingredients
One teaspoon (about 5 grams) is the equivalent of 3 organic beets. In one in teaspoon there are the following ingredients:
| Calories | 15 | % DV |
| Total fat | 0g | 0% |
| Sodium | 10 mg | 0% |
| Potassium | 85mg | 2% |
| Sugars | 3 g | N/A |
| Protein | 0g | N/A |
The product website also states that SuperBeets contains:
- Non-GMO beetroot crystals
- Malic acid
- Stevia leaf extract
- Natural flavors (they don’t say what those flavors are)
The beets used in the product are organically grown. Also, all beets are grown in the US. The website also states that SuperBeets is made in a facility that processes soy, milk, eggs, nuts wheat. This is valuable information for people with allergies to these foods.
SuperBeets Research
One of the pages at HumanN.com (formally Neogensis.com) did list some research studies. Here is a summary of the research I found (update: these studies are no longer found on the site):
A study that described how nitrates can alter gene expression.
Another investigation describes how nitric oxide may have hormone-like effects in mice. This study did not involve SuperBeets.
A review that discusses the potential benefits of eating plant sources of nitrates and nitrites. This paper does not discuss SuperBeets.
A paper describing the heart protection effects of nitrates in foods. This paper does not discuss SuperBeets.
There is also an interesting investigation showing people who took a nitric oxide supplement had a 72% reduction in triglycerides after taking the supplement for only 30 days. The supplement used is not SuperBeets but another supplement made by the same company called Neo40.
Another paper describes how 1 person who took the Neo40 supplement had lower blood pressure after taking the supplement for 9 months.
SuperBeets and Exercise
Beetroot juice is reputed to help boost exercise performance. There is research on this.
For example, This study noted beetroot juice improved kayak performance under laboratory conditions.
Another investigation found beetroot juice appeared to help exercise performance in swimmers.
Conversely, this clinical trial, showed beetroot juice did not help cycling ability or blood pressure in people with lung problems.
Beetroot juice is said to open up blood vessels to improve circulation. But, in this investigation, there was no vasodilation (opening up) of the brachial artery at rest or during exercise.
When researchers gave nitrate supplements to professional cyclists it didn't help them ride the bike any better.
Ironically this study found the opposite – beetroot juice did help cyclists perform better on the bike.
Who Makes SupeBeets?
The company is called HumanN (formally NeoGenis Labs). Their website is HumanN.com. The company address is 1120 S Capital of Texas Highway Building 1, Suite 210 Austin, TX 78746.
An older name, not used any longer appears to be NLogix Labs. The BBB gives HumanN an A rating.” See the BBB file for updates
Contact SuperBeets
Call the customer support number at 888-556-9747. Another contact number is 855-636-4040.
The product can also be ordered directly from their website.
How to Return SuperBeets
When buying from the HumanN website, SuperBeets has a 30-day money-back guarantee. The supplement must be returned in its original packaging. To Return SuperBeets call 1-888-898-5872 and obtain a Return Authorization Number (RMA number) first. This number must be written on the outside of the package to be returned. Customer service will give you the address to return the product and any other necessary instructions.
Terms And Conditions
If you look at the Terms and Conditions Page of HumanN, numbers 14 and 15 of the page describe how people waive certain rights when purchasing products from the website. This includes the inability to take part in class action lawsuits and going through binding arbitration. Many companies have similar stipulations as a way of protecting themselves. This makes sense to me. I wanted to point this out in case it matters to someone.
SuperBeets FAQ
1 Does it improve energy
Does the supplement improve energy like caffeine? No this is unlikely.
2 Does it contain added sugar?
No. A teaspoon has 3 grams of naturally occurring sugar from beets. There are no added sugars.
3 Does SuperBeets have vitamin C?
Yes, and quite a good amount. A teaspoon has 50 mg which is 83% of the RDA for vitamin C.
4 Will it turn my urine red?
It's possible Superbeets will make your urine look red, the same way juicing beets may. This is nothing to worry about.
5 Is SuperBeets bad for kidneys?
Beets are a source of oxalates, compounds that can cause kidney stones. There's no evidence Superbeets causes kidney stones. If you are at risk of kidney stones talk to your doctor.
6 Are beets organic?
Yes.
7 SuperBeets and Neo 40: better together?
While the company says the supplements were designed to work synergistically with each other, there's no clinical evidence. The HumanN company cautions against using more than 1 Neo40 tablet and 10g of SuperBeets within 24 hours.
My advice is to try one by itself first and see how you feel.
Can Beets Become Toxic?
Beets are a source of nitrates. Nitrates help us make nitric oxide. In medicine, there is a condition called nitrate tolerance. Basically, the nitrates stop working. The body gets used to them and they no longer improve nitric oxide levels. This can happen with drugs like nitroglycerin tablets used by people with heart disease.
So what about food? Can the nitrates in foods cause nitrate intolerance too? This is unlikely because the nitrates from food are inorganic (naturally occurring nitrates) while those used in medicine are organic (synthetic nitrates).
When in doubt, ask a dietitian or cardiologist.
Super Beets Side Effects
Superbeets are likely safe for most people. The supplement has been around for a number of years and no bad issues seem common. Here's a list of things to consider if you're not healthy. This list is not complete:
- Start with less than recommended for the first week
- Don't use more than 2 scoops (10 grams) per day
- SuperBeets is made in a facility that processes soy, milk, eggs, nuts wheat
- Beets may turn urine or bowel movements orange/red but this is harmless
- Hypertension? Ask your doctor. Nitric oxide can lower blood pressure
- Talk to your doctor if you take Viagra or other ED medication
- Stop taking beetroot juice supplements at least 2 weeks before having surgery
- If you have cancer talk to your doctor. Some evidence suggests nitric oxide may promote some forms of cancer.
SuperBeets vs. Beets
Can’t' you juice beets and get the same effect? It's possible. It's worth remembering some studies have used beetroot juice rather than beet juice supplements. In general, 4 oz of beetroot juice has about 300 mg of natural nitrates.
Here is the juicer I use and it works very well.
Does SuperBeets Work?
SuperBeets is an interesting supplement and some research appears to show it raises nitric oxide levels. Whether this means the supplement improves exercise performance or better overall health will need better studies.
Here it is on Amazon check out with others are saying
No one (or no company) is going to do clinical trials on a supplement. 1) If it is not sponsored by the Nat’l Lib of Med it can not be published in a peer-reviewed journal (see The Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine). They will not sponsor a trial on a supplement that is sold for profit. 2) it costs too much money. And even if they have the money – why waste it on a trial that can’t be published!
Ray, I’ll to respectfully disagree with you on this. For example, Juice Plus is a dietary supplement that is sold for profit. There are many studies on it in Pubmed.gov (national library of medicine). Another supplement is Protandim. It has many studies also. In fact, protandim distributors often encourage people to “go to pubmed.gov” to see all their research. Still another product is “Omega XL” which you may have seen advertised on TV (featuring Larry King). There are studies on this supplement too published at Pubmed. While the studies may not be perfect (few studies are), they are indeed peer reviewed and appear at Pubmed.
While many of these studies are conducted at universities or hospitals, the national library of medicine does not sponsor them. The companies actually sponsor the research on their products.
Here are my reviews of those products
Juice Plus Review
Omega XL Review
Protandim Review
Joe I’m curious. Please don’t take this the wrong way but have you ever found a supplement that actually did even close to what it advertised?
Hi Jack, sure no offense taken. Sure thing. there are several examples. It just depends on what condition people are asking about. Ample evidence tells us folic acid reduces birth defects and lowers homocysteine. I also there is enough evidence that konjac root helps weight loss and glucosamine sulfate might help osteo-arthritis.
Over the years Ive noticed that many supplements contain one or two ingredients that are likely the main active ingredients. Those are often much less expensive than then the product that contains them. Beets will increase nitric oxide levels but so too will fruits and veggies in general. If I remember correct arugula is a very potent nitric oxide elevator.
I would just like to point out the the company that makes SuperBeets is now called Human^n (pronounced “Human to the Power of N”). The website in the article doesn’t seem to have been correct even before they changed names. The older website was neogenis.com, and now they are at “humann . com”
Jacob, thanks for the heads up. I’ve updated my review with their new company name. I appreciate the assist!
My sixteen older daughter is an athlete who swims and plays waterpolo competeively and tried Beetelite supplement today before her swim meet. Only drank 2 of the 4oz that we mixing with water 30 minutes before she started filling like something was stuck in her thoat.
Swim her first event, drank more water and started feeling like she had a lump in her throat, feeling like she had a hard time breathing.
After swimming her second event she had to take her inhaler a few times, still filling like she couldn’t breath. She kept on saying she thought it was the beet juice but I couldn’t believe only 2oz could effect her so quickly and drastically but it was the only new addition to her diet.
We looked on the Internet for reactions after her face started feeling tingly and her throat continued to swell and there is a correlation between beet juice and tightening of the vocal chords and throat.
I also wonder if there was some additive to this product that caused this reaction or simply the beet juice. I noticed the one of the beetroot powders was fermented and wonder if that might have accelerated the reaction.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of reaction?
Hi Pat, that sounds like an allergic reaction. Is your daugher ok now? how long did these symptoms last for? was this the first time shes used Beet Elite? I looked at their label and it does say Beet Elite is made in a facility that also processes, soy, milk, eggs, wheat and nuts. Is your daugher allergic to any of those?
Hello! Thank you so much for your helpful site! I should have researched before I invested, just to be prudent. Well, I just received my box today of the Black Cherry flavored– buy 2 get one free. I will definitely get back if I feel a difference. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS ABOUT DENTAL HYGIENE INTERFERING WITH ABSORPTION OF PRODUCT!
I read the booklet, and the two saliva test packets.) It says Using any sort of antiseptic mouthwash will stop any benefit of the beet product. The Free Book “Beet The Odds” has a diagram of the digestive system, and goes on to explain that the saliva glands are the primary uptake site for the Beets and N-O.
It warns in several places using any sort of antiseptic mouthwash will prevent any N-O benefit!! I am diligent with my dental health as an adult, as I have very tight teeth that are prone to cavities. DOES ANYONE KNOW – DOES THIS MEAN I CANT USE MOUTHWASH AT ALL, IF I USE THIS PRODUCT? OR JUST DURING THE TIME FRAME ONE INGESTS THE BEET DRINK?
I am very health minded and I exercise and swim regularly, yet my BP was starting to increase a bit, and my cholesterol was starting to hike. I have been eating a paleo diet the last two years. I was told ORGANIC red meats would be healthy for me, but I guess it did raise my cholesterol after all. I will get back if I feel any different… Thanks again!
Hi Kimberly, you are very welcome. About the dental hygiene, that is an interesting point they make as some mouthwashes can reduce nitric oxide levels in the mouth. chlorhexidine is one of the compounds in mouth wash I believe can reduce Nitric oxide levels. That said, nitic oxide is also made in the walls of your blood vessels (which is where we want it to work). Just because your mouth nitric oxide levels might go down, does that also mean your blood vessel levels go down too? I’m honestly not sure (if anyone has research do let me know).
Here is an interesting video on the whole mouthwash/nitric oxide controversy (this guy has a really good book I recommend also “How Not To Die”)
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dont-use-antiseptic-mouthwash/
I have mild but highly symptomatic NAFLD. I have some serious issues with nutrient abdorption. Its not in my gut but in conversion. Dr. is working on it. Told me anything that made me feel better she was ok with. Most days I am barely able to get out of bed. This has been going on for about 10 years.
I began using beet elite a week ago while eating high folate foods. I not only was able to walk a 20 minute mile on my treadmill today I ran a 1/4 of a mile of it with out panting! I am over 215 lbs and normally cramp up after a few minutes. It seems to be working for me.
Hi Renee, wow that is some change! I am glad you were able to do that and hope you continue to improve. Do keep me updated on your progress.
Thank you for your feedback Joe! Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you all. Superbeets/HumanN gave me an answer on online chat – this is what they said:
“Thank you for reaching out to us. The best would to be to not use it as it kills all the good beneficial bacteria in your mouth, but if you do need to keep using it, we recommend at least 2 hours between using it and consuming SuperBeets. ”
So..I guess I will try to use other means of mouth hygiene — I am mostly concerned about the bacteria that causes cavities.
Thank you!! 🙂
Hi Kimberly, thanks for that for sharing their answer with you. Hopefully SuperBeets gives you the results you are seeking.
Hello, Kimberly90405!
For teeth, I take the combo calcium-magnesium-zinc supplements. If I get lazy about taking them, I remember to take them again when my teeth start to hurt because my teeth stop hurting when I take them. I make sure to take them a few weeks before checkups at the dentist, and I haven’t had any cavities.
I learned about this from a woman on YouTube who was vegan and raising her child vegan. She learned that liver is the best food for your teeth. She eats liver and said that it healed her teeth, but she recommended that if you are vegetarian, which I am, the calcium-magnesiumzinc supplement does the same thing. I can say first hand that the supplement works.
Also, have a little bit of celery first thing in the morning and see if that helps. I noticed that after having celery in the morning, I had less dry mouth and seemingly no plaque on my teeth the following morning. I discovered this when I was going to start having celery juice every morning, but I didn’t have a juicer, so I just ate a little bit of celery.
Awhile ago, I saw something on YouTube about a special toothbrush that helps your teeth heal on their own with just the brush and no toothpaste. I haven’t been able to find the video again, so I can’t remember who the inventor was. I’ve seen other toothbrushes that claim you don’t need toothpaste, some nano-something, but they’re not the same as this other toothbrush I’m trying to remember. Wish I could find that toothbrush again.
Years ago, I had a toothbrush called Wisdom Ultrasoft Clean Between, or something like that. I got it at an apothecary in England. Best toothbrush ever! It literally went between my teeth, the bristles were so fine and so soft. It felt like a massage. I ordered some through the mail, but they weren’t the same. I should look for them again, or plan a trip to England again! Best to you, Kimberly!
Wow, that sounds like a fabulous toothbrush!!! I will internet search and see if I can find something similar!!
Yes, I as well.. I notice my teeth start to ache if I forget to take calcium/magnesium/boron/D-3 supplements….
Is zinc needed for absorption too?
Thank you so much!
Hi Kimberly, for what its worth, the RDA for zinc is very low, only about 11-13 mg/day. Most people are probably not deficient in zinc. I’ve been using a Sonicare toothbrush for years and love it.
There is a major mistake in this article that should be corrected. Nitrates found in foods are organic or natural and those found in medicines are inorganic or synthetic and not the other way around as was written.
Hi Laura, I understand the confusion given the healthy connotation of the word “organic” however I am correct:
Here is a study that mentions nitrates in food are inorganic
http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/90/1/1.full
In this study, its mentioned that drugs contain organic nitrates
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2707969/
You are not the only person to ask about this so I have updated my review with these references.
I appreciate you stopping by and hope this helps.
The word “organic” has a different meaning in chemistry than it does in general parlance. Usually it means a food or supplement, which is grown or made without synthetic ingredients, fertilisers, pesticides, etc. However, in chemistry “organic” refers only to compounds containing carbon.
I was a vegetable farmer many years ago. I heard more than once the difference between organic vegetables and non organic has a lot to do with the time of day the sprayer comes out. I am not sure exactly what that meant. I never grew organic vegetables myself.
Great review of superbeets Joe. I am so happy you took the time to do such in depth unbiased review! Thank you again. I am thinking of trying this product or something similar and will report back here what my experience was.
Hi Ray, you are very welcome 🙂
I’ve tried this product and have not felt any different. Think I wasted $80.
Hi Sharon, are you talking about not feeling a difference during exercise or in general?
Great review! Hit all the right notes! All the supplements are complex to evaluate, so it is nice to have some intelligent unbiased analysis to assist in the process!
Just what you’d expect from a “Joe”!
Thanks Joe, us Joes gotta stick together 🙂
Just read your article on beet root crystals. I have been taking BeetElite (same company) for 3 months now. I am 63 & weight train regularly. I seemed to have much improved exercise ability after starting supplementation, but me being highly subject to the placebo effect, didn’t know if it was real or in my noggin.
Prior to taking the supplement I had been borderline hypertensive. 1 Week into it, my blood pressure dropped to 63-77 diastolic & 118-128 systolic. Prior to taking it was 88-95 diastolic & 130-140 systolic. It has remained lowered for the full 3 months. So far so good! Great article by the way.
Hi John, those are some pretty good results! Thanks for the heads up on BeetElite too.
Appears the product is somewhat geared towards a pre-workout energizer? What about simply for general health? I have a 13 year old who refuses to eat vegetables…any benefits?
Thanks for your thorough analysis
Hi Craig, the idea of it being a preworkout-type supplement was how I first learned about it. I dont think one has to exercise to get benefits from the product -or fruits and veggies. Has your son ever tried a smoothie that had fruits and veggies? Here is the smoothie i like to make. It does not taste like vegetables at all. http://supplementclarity.com/quick-easy-smoothie-recipee/
As a 91 yr old physician (ret) I began using beet root caps (inexpensive) and checking my BP in the morning before and 1/2-1 hr after measurement.
I am on two BP Rxs at bedtime but noted that my morning systolic a were creeping up to the 145-150 range. Diastolic stayed low (50-75)..
Results were that my systolics dropped to the 125 range–never into the danger areas.
Yay.
Then I used myself as a control and did all the same minus the beet root.
Turned out about the same (((sigh))).
More folks might try this and report back.
You are one heck of an investigator.
Many thanks, Bigtom.
Hi Big Tom, thanks for your kind words. Sometimes I’m like a dog with a bone 🙂 I appreciate you sharing the results of your experiment too!
Thanks so much for your research on this product. I’ve never heard of you, and I’m so happy to see this. I’ll be browsing around and checking out quite a few things. Including a review of a company’s history in your reviews is terrific!
Mannapat, you are very welcome and I’m glad you found me. Most haven’t heard of me so your in good company 🙂
I used to use L Arginine before workouts. I did notice a difference on days i did biceps, i always felt a more solid pump. a recommended it to a woman who was on high blood pressure medicine and it lowered her blood pressure and she got off the medication.
Rick, please be careful recommending supplements to people when you dont know their full health history. High blood pressure can be caused by many things. I dont discount what you are saying but just because it helped one person doesn’t mean its going to have the same effect on others. Arginine can lower blood pressure. Theoretically that means it might also interact with blood pressure meds, causing the BP to go to low.
I suffer from gout. Even when I’m not having a flair up, I had cramps and pain in my big toes. The only thing keeping the gout somewhat at bay was beets and tart cherry juice. I was eating pickled beets with dinner and drinking 6 oz. of tart cherry juice for breakfast but I still had the lingering pain and cramps.
I used to like pickled beets, not so much any longer. I cannot attest to any of their claims but but I decided to give them a try since a 4 oz. drink is far easier to stomach than 1/2 a jar of beets every day.
I can tell you, I have been using this product for 2 weeks and the lingering pain and cramps are not there. It took about 5 days for me to notice anything. I haven’t had a flair up, which I am hoping this stays that way. I haven’t checked my BP since starting but I know it runs on the very low end of what they consider as “HIGH”. I will see what it looks like at my next VA appointment. But if it keeps the gout under control, they have a customer for life.
Hi Damon, thanks for sharing. Im glad your gout is doing better. Here is my review of tart cherry juice in case you missed it.
Just to update my experience with this product. I have been using it since mid-April and I have not had a flare up of my gout since I started using it. I can’t say “I felt 10 years younger in 20 minutes” like they have in the commercial but in March my blood pressure was 153/102. Today, it was 124/94.
I haven’t made any other major changes in my diet or exercise. After several back operations exercise isn’t as easy as it once was, and I don’t have the discipline for dieting. I am slightly overweight, at 6’1″ and 214 lbs but, according to my doctor at the VA, I am in otherwise good health and I won’t being going on BP medications.
For what it’s worth, it’s been a good product, even if I don’t feel 10 years younger.
Hi Damon, thanks for the update and that is great news! I’m happy to hear about your drop in blood pressure. Since you didn’t mention it, I’ll assume your gout is still doing better too which again, is great news. 🙂
I haven’t had a flare up since I started using it. I have had a couple times when I did feel the tingle start I doubled my dose for a couple days and it didn’t get any worse.
Damon, that is very good news. Really happy you have found relief from it.
Well I do not always buy into this kind of stuff, but I am a 58 year old woman that is way over weight and have heard about this product and also I do not take any kind of medicines, not even vitamins. So I thought what the hell I will try it and see if I get more energy and if that is the case then it will give me the energy to exercise. I hate to do that E- word so, fingers cross even if it just makes my blood flow though my body better I think it is a win win….
Hi Marlie, my fingers are crossed. let us know what happens. Don’t think of exercise as “the E word” (although that was cute). Look at it as something you can do to stay healthy. Exercise is not something you have to do – its something you GET to do. Since you said you were “way over weight” just start out with walking for now. Don’t do anything drastic like what you might see on TV shows.
Joe, thanks for doing EVERYTHING for me in this research!
Folks, continue the great feedback and result findings.
I am so curious how Marlie is doing since April, thus the reply in her comment…please share, Marlie, as we are in similar category!
Joe, again thanks and will look for your research FIRST in my research, going forward. 🙂
Hi Karissa thanks so much and yes I also hope Marlie is doing well and will update us on how she is doing.
Excellent product review. I just saw a late night commercial for “Superbeets” and it looks like yet another supplement that sounds like it could have some benefit for a person’s health problems. The only way to know for sure if it will work for any particular person is for that person to give it a try.
Unfortunately, trying all of these high tech supplements can be costly. It would be nice if the manufacturers could make a small trial package available for, say, under $10 so a person could economically try it and see if it works for them.
As far as keeping one’s blood pressure down, there is already a very cheap supplement that works well…magnesium. It also helps with vasodilation, promotes red blood cell formation, and even boosts cellular energy levels. An extra 250 mg tablet a day costs as little as 5 cents.
HI Ken, thanks. You can always try to call the company and ask for a free sample. It cant hurt. Yes there is some evidence magnesium can reduce blood pressure. glad its helping you.
Magnesium does nothing for my BP. I have tried several kinds though the years. This Superbeet is worth a try. Will be back to let you know. Thanks
Valerie,
I am trying Re-Mag by Dr. Carolyn Dean. It is a liquid Pico-ionic liquid that is supposed to get to the cellular level at almost 100% absorption as apposed to the 2-3% in pill form. She also advises that you get an Magnesium RBC test over the normal Magnesium Serum as it is more accurate.
Check out her book, “The Magnesium Miracle”. If anything it is a fascinating read and packed with info that I never knew about Magnesium. The verdict is still out for me but it does seem to help with severe leg cramps. As a diabetic that is starting to have digestive issues, I am always looking for answers since I am terrible at diets and exercise. Good luck and best wishes!
also check out the book, “How Not To Die” by Dr Michael Greger. It has a section on diabetes too.
Oral magnesium can have short term benefits but long term problems. The only healthy way to get magnesium in your body, is through food, which will always fall short, or magnesium oil, which you soak your feet in.
Hi Cheryl, as a rule, if the food is green or has fiber, it has magnesium.
As a dietitian, I know that three beets, organic or other wise, dried could NOT fit into one teaspoon. The material says the one teaspoon portion recommended is 15 calories. A cup of beets ( 2 to 3 beets) is in fact 59 calories. Thus one teaspoon of dried beets is a very small amount to cause any physiological change and certainly less than three beets.
Hi Mary, that is an interesting observation.
Got the impression this was dried beet juice with all the fibrous matter removed.
When I drink real beet juice for a few days it does lower my blood pressure significantly. I don’t trust supplements except for B12 and vitamin d.
Hi Laz, Beets lowering blood pressure does make some sense given its effects on nitric oxide levels.
I have not used this product but I have used beet juice 100% natural, no GMO and so on and I can say for certain that it does help with erection. But this small 16oz bottle is very expensive and it has 2 servings. Sure, I’m only taking 2-4 oz daily because that is all I need for the extra help. btw, I don’t have a circulation problem or heart problem. Just took this to help because I do have low T not related to circulation.
Jose, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Joe for providing a well-researched, unbiased opinion. So refreshing to come upon a site that has actual information rather than a marketing squeeze page disguised as a product review site.
Beverly, you are very welcome and I thank YOU for your kind words 🙂
So maybe I can throw in some Canadian bacon in the juicer I’m going to purchase! LOL
Seriously though, I found your research Joe to be very informative and those who replied are as well. Thanks
George, you are very welcome. Enjoy your juicer 🙂
