Beetroot and pomegranate: the juice that supports your heart… and your libido

We rarely put food and sex drive in the same sentence. But your body does it all the time. What you eat, how your blood flows and how your heart works has a direct impact on your libido.

That is why more and more people are talking about beetroot and pomegranate juice: a simple, organic combination, with no weird formulas, but with a real effect on blood circulation, nitric oxide and vascular health.

It is not magic. It is not “natural Viagra”. It is basic physiology working in your favour. And yes, it can be a nice ally for both male libido and female libido, as long as the rest of your lifestyle helps.

Why your libido depends on circulation

For desire and sexual response to happen, your body needs three main pillars: good circulation, hormonal balance and a nervous system that is not constantly in fight-or-flight mode.

If your arteries are stiff, inflamed or over-stressed by ultra-processed foods, stress and sedentary habits, blood flow to the heart, brain and genital area is compromised. That is when the “I do not feel like it” or “it is not like before” narrative starts.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key molecule: it dilates blood vessels, improves flow and helps lower blood pressure. Studies show that dietary nitrates from beetroot boost nitric oxide production, improve circulation and support blood pressure control and exercise performance.

Beetroot juice: nitrates, nitric oxide and blood flow

Beetroot is one of the richest natural sources of nitrates. Your body turns them into nitric oxide, which relaxes and widens blood vessels. This leads to:

• Better blood flow to muscles, heart and genital tissues.
• Support in reducing blood pressure in people with hypertension.
• Improved exercise performance and stamina.

In practice: more nitric oxide means better circulation everywhere, including the areas that need high blood flow during sex. Reviews connect nitrate-rich foods with improved vascular health and potential benefits for erectile function, although beetroot juice is not considered a medical treatment.

Pomegranate juice: antioxidants for arteries and hormones

Pomegranate has been linked to fertility and aphrodisiac foods for centuries. Modern research shows that its juice is packed with polyphenol antioxidants that protect the arterial wall and improve blood flow.

Several studies in men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction found improvements in erectile function with pomegranate juice versus placebo, likely by increasing nitric oxide and reducing oxidative stress in erectile tissue.

Other work suggests that pomegranate can support testosterone and mood. More energy, better mood, less inflammation… also helps when we talk about libido.

The beetroot + pomegranate combo for libido

When you put beetroot and pomegranate together in one juice, you get:

• Nitrates from beetroot, boosting nitric oxide and vasodilation.
• Polyphenols from pomegranate, protecting blood vessels.
• A global improvement in blood flow and cardiovascular support.

With better circulation, sexual response can also improve: erections in men, lubrication and sensitivity in women, and an overall sense of vitality.

Important: this is support, not a cure. If you have significant erectile dysfunction, pain or a marked loss of desire, you should talk to a health professional. Juice does not replace medical evaluation.

Extra benefits beyond libido

• Heart and blood pressure: beetroot nitrates help lower blood pressure in many people, and pomegranate polyphenols protect the endothelium.
• Sports performance: many athletes use beetroot juice to improve exercise capacity and recovery.
• Brain and focus: better circulation also reaches the brain, supporting concentration and mental clarity.
• Immunity and inflammation: both foods are rich in antioxidants that help modulate chronic low-grade inflammation.

How to drink it and when to be careful

• Suggested dose: around 150–250 ml per day of organic beetroot and pomegranate juice, with no added sugar.
• Best timing: in the morning or 30–60 minutes before training.
• Format: ideally 100 % juice, with no concentrates or syrups.

Pay attention if:

• You have very low blood pressure or take antihypertensive medication.
• You have a history of kidney stones (oxalates).
• You live with diabetes or insulin resistance and juice intake is not well managed.
