Beetroot contains a variety of plant nutrients, including fibre, folate, manganese, potassium, iron, vitamin D and vitamin C. With a vast array of nutrients and antioxidants, beetroots can help us in a number of areas, including reducing inflammation, protecting liver function, improving skin barrier function, increasing blood flow, regulating blood sugar levels and lowering blood pressure.

Beetroot contains betalains, a class of red and yellow pigments found in plants, responsible for giving beetroot its bright red hue. Betalains are considered an antioxidant, which help to neutralise oxidative damage with proven free radical scavenging activity. This protects the cells in our bodies by fighting the negative impacts of inflammation and ageing, helping to address environmental or age-related skin concerns. In fact, beetroots are ranked amongst the top 10 vegetables with the strongest antioxidant power.

Beetroots are also a great source of natural ceramides, which are critical for skin barrier function and protection. Beetroot is particularly high in glucosylceramide, which has been shown to help improve skin barrier function such as reducing trans epidermal water loss and increasing skin elasticity. Beetroot extract itself has also shown improvements in skin barrier function by preventing water loss and preserving skin hydration content, indicating that beetroot contains additional components beneficial for skin alongside its ceramides. Because of its ability to improve blood flow around the body, beetroot can also help with delivering nutrients to our skin for optimum skin nourishment.
