One Important Note

Beetroot can temporarily turn urine or stool pink/red, a harmless effect known as beeturia. People who have kidney stones or certain medical conditions may also need to consider their overall beetroot intake, so it’s worth asking a healthcare professional if you’re unsure.

The real benefit isn’t a miracle “cleanse.” It’s the simple habit of adding a nutrient-rich vegetable to a balanced diet regularly.
