🌱 What Beetroot Juice Actually Does (Evidence-Based Benefits)
Beetroot is rich in:
-
Betalains – powerful antioxidants
-
Nitrates – improve blood flow and oxygen delivery
-
Vitamin C, folate, iron, potassium
-
Anti-inflammatory compounds
Potential benefits:
✔ Supports liver detoxification
✔ Reduces inflammation
✔ Improves blood circulation
✔ Supports immune function
✔ May help reduce oxidative stress (which is linked to cancer development)
✔ Supports heart and brain health
🧠 Lab studies show beetroot compounds can slow the growth of some cancer cells in test tubes, but this is NOT the same as curing cancer in humans.
