All of the ingredients in this juicer are beneficial From the Middle Ages, beetroot was used as a treatment for a variety of conditions, especially illnesses relating to digestion and the blood.
The red color compound betanin is not broken down in the body, and in higher concentrations may temporarily cause urine and stool to assume a reddish color; in the case of urine this is called beeturia. This effect may cause distress and concern due to the visual similarity to what appears to be blood in the urine or stool. In reality, beeturia is completely harmless and subside once the betanin is out of the system.
