Why We Chose Air-Dried Beetroot Powder

When developing our beetroot powder, we asked a simple question:

How can we keep the product as close to beetroot as possible?

There is more on the process in this guide to air-dried beetroot powder.

That’s why we chose air drying instead of the more common spray-drying process.

Many spray-dried beetroot powders rely on carriers such as maltodextrin to help convert beetroot juice into powder and soften the naturally earthy flavour.

While maltodextrin has legitimate manufacturing uses, it also means you’re buying less actual beetroot.

For people focused on both performance and gut health, simpler is often better.

We also believe quality doesn’t stop at the ingredient list.

Because beetroot is a root vegetable, we independently test our product for glyphosate, giving athletes and health-conscious consumers additional confidence in what they’re consuming. Research continues to explore glyphosate’s effects on the gut microbiome, which is one reason many people actively seek independently tested products.

At Propel Health Australia, our philosophy is straightforward:

  • Air-dried whole beetroot.
  • No maltodextrin.
  • Independently tested.
  • Transparent quality.

If you’re looking for beetroot supplements, choose a product where the focus remains on real beetroot, careful processing and independently verified quality.
