ACM produces NFC (not-from-concentrate) beetroot juice for OEM and private-label brands in 350 ml and 500 ml PET bottles with an 18-month shelf life. Beetroot juice is valued for its dietary nitrate, which studies link to lower blood pressure and better endurance, making it a strong product for wellness and sports-nutrition shelves.
How is private-label beetroot juice made?
- Sourcing: mature beetroots are selected, washed and trimmed.
- Pressing: the roots are pressed to extract juice without concentrating or diluting it (NFC).
- Filtration: the juice is filtered to the required clarity.
- Pasteurisation: a heat step makes the juice safe and shelf-stable.
- Filling and labelling: the juice is filled into bottles or cans and labelled with the buyer’s brand.

What are the benefits of beetroot juice?
- Blood pressure: beetroot is rich in dietary nitrate. Meta-analyses show beetroot juice can modestly lower systolic blood pressure, by roughly 3–5 mmHg in short-term trials.
- Exercise: nitrate can improve endurance performance, with studies often using about 300–600 mg of nitrate taken 2–3 hours before exercise.
- Nutrients: it provides folate, potassium and betalain pigments that give the deep red colour.
Things to know: beetroot juice can turn urine and stools pink or red (harmless), and it is high in oxalate, so people prone to kidney stones may need to limit it. Claims such as “detox” or “liver cleanse” are not supported by evidence and are not permitted on labels in many markets.
Which markets want beetroot juice?
- Sports and fitness: pre-workout nitrate drinks.
- Health and natural food stores: vegetable juices and clean-label drinks.
- Europe and North America: established demand for vegetable and root juices.
ACM exports to over 40 countries. Explore the wider vegetable drinks range or read how to launch a private-label juice.
