Beetroot Juice for Liver
Beetroot contains bioactive compounds, particularly betalains such as betanin, that have been shown to modulate liver detoxification pathways. What it really does is increase the liver’s capacity to neutralize reactive metabolites and protect against oxidative stress.
However, while these findings are robust in preclinical models, there is currently insufficient evidence from large-scale clinical trials. A recent article showed that if you use beetroot, you can have possible health benefits like increased nitrate intake, which may decrease your blood pressure and increase oxygen and nutrient delivery to various organs, but this does not mean there is robust clinical trial evidence for liver detox. So no, it’s not the magic food for liver detox.
