4. Rich in Essential Minerals
Beet juice contains an abundance of essential minerals, such as calcium, critical for healthy bone development and strength. Beet juice is rich in iron, which assists red blood cells in carrying oxygen, and magnesium to support heart, immune, nerve and muscle health.
Manganese, another critical mineral found in beet juice, contributes to the regulation of blood sugar levels and metabolism. Beet juice also contains phosphorous, a vital element in cell repair and the development of healthy teeth and bones.
