Beetroot is rich in vitamins (A, E, C, and B vitamins) and contains various minerals (such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, copper, phosphorus, and iron) that help maintain the daily nutrient intake for the horse. Beetroot also contains a lot of folic acid, which affects metabolism and the production of red blood cells.
Beetroot contains some sucrose, but the fibers in beetroot are mostly water-soluble, which means that beetroot, despite its sugar content, has a blood sugar leveling effect. The water-soluble fibers form a gel in the intestines, thus slowing down glucose absorption, which in turn slows down the rise in blood sugar. Additionally, the red pigment in beetroot (betanin) is a strong antioxidant that protects cells and blood vessels against free radicals.
All these properties qualify beetroot as a real 'Superfeed'!
Beetroot is used to increase endurance and speed up recovery. Studies on humans have shown reduced urea levels in the blood, which decreases protein load. Therefore, in recent years, it has gained increased popularity among, for example, elite athletes.
