Is Beetroot a risk w. MAOi or BP1 people?

Posted by PeterMartin on December 11, 2015, at 20:37:48

Is it a risk to take Beetroot with Nardil or Marplan?

I have hypertension and have been looking for natural ways to get it back to normal. I ordered some Beetroot capsules yesterday w.o. thinking about maoi resteictions (I take marplan). I googled a bit today and while i can't find anything saying its explicitly contradicted I found a bunch saying it can indirectly raise SAMe and maybe Serotonin.

Anyone ever take Beetroot w an MAOi? Im also bipolar 1 and I'm weary of SAMe on its own due to hypomania it induce 15yrs ago.

Thx for any advice.

Well I just found this which talks about a study w/ Betaine & Izocarboxazid and how it could lead to psychosis....

So yea I'll toss the capsules rather than risk it.

If anyone has had success lowering BP with anything natural lmk. I've gotten it down a bit using Celery, Hibiscus, and Garlic sups.

Thanks. I was a little over-sensitive - feeling guilty. My situation worked out for the best.

I definitely need the insight this place can give on occasion.....

fwiw, I often eat beetroot - not capsules but the real thing. I am on parnate, and it has never caused any problem.
