ABSTRACT:
Beetroot, a nutrient-dense root vegetable, has emerged as a potential natural remedy for various health concerns. This review article comprehensively examines beetroot's bioactive compounds, antioxidant properties, and potential health benefits, including cardiovascular protection, anti-cancer effects, and neuroprotection. The findings suggest that beetroot's unique phytochemical profile makes it a promising adjunct to conventional therapies, warranting further research to fully harness its therapeutic potential.
