I recently had to cold turkey quit my blood pressure medicine because i signed up with a new health insurance, i am having to find a new doctor, see them first then have my bp med rewrote. my question is, is beet root extract good for this issue?

Beet root extract would not be a sufficient replacement for prescription blood pressure medicine. However, some studies have shown beet root supplementation to have a modest effect on lowering blood pressure. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23596162/) Other studies have revealed conflicting results. Your best bet is to get your prescription blood pressure medication.

While beet root might be helpful for blood pressure, a comprehensive plan including lifestyle changes +/- meds will be needed regardless, establishing with a new doc strongly recommended.
