📚 Research & Evidence

🔬 The Science

Beta vulgaris root extract comes from red beetroot, a vegetable long studied for its antioxidant properties. In one animal study published in Biomolecules (2019), researchers investigated whether the extract could protect liver cells from damage caused by chlorpyrifos, an organophosphorus insecticide. Here’s what they found:

#1: The extract appeared to support liver function by helping maintain normal enzyme levels (specifically ALT, AST, ALP, and bilirubin markers), which are indicators of liver health (Biomolecules, 2019). #2: It reduced oxidative stress—a harmful process where unstable molecules damage cells—by lowering lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide levels, and by boosting the body’s own antioxidant enzymes like glutathione (Biomolecules, 2019).

#3: The extract reduced inflammatory markers, including pro-inflammatory cytokines and an enzyme called iNOS that drives inflammation (Biomolecules, 2019). #4: It appeared to support cellular survival by decreasing markers of cell death (lowering Bax and caspase-3) while increasing protective proteins like Bcl-2 (Biomolecules, 2019). Important limitations: This research was conducted in rats exposed to an insecticide, not in human skin. The study doesn’t tell us how beta vulgaris extract performs in topical skincare applications, at what concentrations it’s effective in cosmetic products, or whether these protective effects translate to human skin. More research would be needed to confirm benefits for skincare specifically.
