On the other hand, beets are high in oxalates. These substances often hinder the digestion / absorption of nutrients and may cause kidney problems (among others) if consumed in high amounts. Also, there’re antibiotics that may enhance the effect of oxalates.

With this in mind, consult your doctor before drinking this juice if you’re prone to kidney stones, suffer from kidney disease or take antibiotics.
