Betalains are highly effective in preventing lipid peroxidation, which remains one of the key criteria for classifying a compound as an antioxidant in vivo [Khan et al. 2016]. The inhibitory capacity of BETALYN® Cardio against lipid peroxidation was assessed in vitro at various time points using a linoleic acid peroxidation system, with results compared to tocopherol. BETALYN® Cardio demonstrated an antioxidant potency (AOP) of 76.97%, whereas tocopherol's AOP was approximately 32.3%.
VASCULAR
HOMEOSTASIS
The vascular endothelium serves as the interface between the bloodstream and the vessel wall. Endothelial cells release substances that regulate vascular contraction and relaxation, playing a critical role in maintaining healthy arteries. As we age, and with factors like overweight and inflammation, blood vessels become stiffer and lose their ability to fully dilate in response to changes in blood flow. This process also promotes the accumulation of fat deposits and inflammatory cells.
HOMOCYSTEINE
METABOLISM
Elevated plasma levels of homocysteine can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Betaine is an essential nutrient that functions as both an osmolyte and a methyl donor (through transmethylation). It helps protect cells from stress, supports liver function by regulating methionine metabolism, and reduces homocysteine levels. Additionally, betaine prevents fatty liver, improves lipid metabolism, and lowers the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

Based on scientific and clinical evidence, BETALYN® cardio's betalains and betaine are effective in supporting the treatment and maintenance of vascular homeostasis.
Vascular homeostasis refers to the body’s ability to maintain a stable and balanced environment within the blood vessels (vascular system). This process involves regulating various physiological factors to ensure that blood vessels function efficiently and support overall health. Vascular homeostasis is crucial because the circulatory system is responsible for delivering oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to tissues and organs, while also removing waste products.
Betalains are natural pigments responsible for the vibrant color of beetroots and are also potent antioxidants. These compounds help combat oxidative stress, making them an excellent addition to any supplement regimen aimed at enhancing overall well-being. From promoting heart health to reducing inflammation, betalains offer a range of benefits for the body. |
ABOUT BETALYN®
BETALYN® is derived from the rubra variety of beets (Beta vulgaris var. rubra), cultivated in Lombardy, in the flatlands of northern Italy.
Beetroot is naturally rich in betalains—potent antioxidants responsible for its vibrant color—and betaine, a compound known for its role in osmoregulation and methylation processes. Together, these bioactive compounds offer a range of potential health benefits, particularly in supporting liver function, cardiovascular health, and enhancing exercise performance.
Incorporating beetroot into the diet—whether raw, cooked, as juice, or in supplement form—can be a highly nutritious way to harness these health-promoting properties.
