POSSIBLY EFFECTIVE

• Athletic performance. Oral beet may improve athletic performance associated with aerobic activities. However, it is not clear who is most likely to benefit, for which type of competition it is most useful, or what dose or duration of use is most appropriate. Details: Several small clinical trials, most of which enrolled males only, as well as a meta-analysis of some of these studies, show that beet improves various measures of athletic performance. Conversely, another meta-analysis of several small clinical studies, that includes some of these studies, shows that taking beetroot does not improve performance in high-intensity or sprint interval training (111159). The most commonly used doses in all studies, regardless of effect, have included an acute dose of beetroot juice 70-500 mL up to 3 hours prior to exercise (93844,94463,94464,94466,94467,94473,97726,100142,100143,105761)(105762,111159) or chronic dosing of up to 500 mL daily for 3-6 days (94459,94464,94469,100145,100147,100153,111159). Less commonly, beetroot juice 70-140 mL daily, betalain-rich concentrate 100 mg daily, or a beetroot-based nutritional gel 100 grams daily, have been taken for longer dosing schedules of 7-15 days (97720,100144,100148,100152,105763). Brands of juice used in clinical trials have included Beet It Sport (James White Drinks Ltd.) (94455,94458,94465,100142,100143,100144,100148,105761,105763), Beet It Stamina Shot (James White Drinks Ltd.) (93844), Beet It (James White Drinks Ltd) (94457,94459,94460,94467,94469,97726,100145,100153,105762,111159), and Love Beets Beetroot Juice (Gs Fresh Ltd.) (94461,94462). Although plasma levels have not been analyzed in all studies, the majority of studies suggest that these doses are adequate to increase levels of nitrates or nitrites, which is thought to be essential for increasing athletic potential (93844,94455,94458,94459,94460,94465,94467,94469,94466,94473,97726). The evidence also suggests benefit in both normoxic and hypoxic environments (94465,100148,105763). Research in recreationally-trained athletes or sedentary individuals has shown some benefit. Clinical research shows beetroot juice improves the use of oxygen during exercise testing in recreationally-trained athletes, especially with severe exercise testing (94460,94463,94467,100147,105762). There is also some evidence of improvement in ability or strength (93844,94464,94468,100143,100150,100152). Also, in obese adolescents, taking beetroot juice daily for 6 days increases the time to exhaustion from severe exercise, but does not improve moderate exercise (100145). However, results are not consistent even within the same publication, suggesting that some differences might be related only to chance. By contrast, the majority of research in elite athletes does not support the use of beetroot juice to decrease the time needed to complete a task, aid in some sort of graded exercise test, or improve the use of oxygen during exercise testing (94455,94458,94460,94461,94464,94465,94466,94469,94473,100142,100153,105763). However, some research does suggest that specific sprint sets might be improved (94469) and that beet may improve power output and anaerobic capacity during morning workouts (105761). Also, higher doses or a longer duration might be necessary to improve the time to complete a running or cycling trial. Benefits in elite athletes, most often related to time trials, are usually limited to studies using chronic dosing of 7-15 days, which is longer than the duration of 6 days used in the majority of studies (94473,97720,100144,100148). The supposed lack of effect of beetroot juice in elite athletes might be related to the natural production of nitrates and nitrites in the body or the increased ability to use oxygen that comes from extensive training (94458,94463). Alternatively, any changes might be very small (<1%) and not identified with statistical comparisons, although even very small changes might be beneficial in competition (94464).
• Exercise-induced muscle soreness. Drinking beetroot juice 7-8 times over 48 hours after strenuous exercise may reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness. Details: Some clinical research shows drinking beetroot juice (Love Beets Beetroot Juice, Gs Fresh Ltd.) 125 mL or 250 mL seven times over 48 hours after strenuous box jumps improves muscle soreness when compared with placebo and sodium nitrite (96964,97722). Also, a small clinical study shows that drinking beetroot juice 250 mL as eight separate doses over 48 hours after a repeated sprint test improves muscle soreness when compared with placebo (94461). However, drinking this same beetroot juice 250 mL as seven separate doses over 48 hours after running a marathon does not appear to reduce muscle soreness when compared with placebo (94462). These studies were also included in a meta-analysis along with 2 other small studies. This analysis of mostly healthy or physically active males shows that drinking beetroot juice improves the pressure pain threshold, which is a measure of muscle soreness, at 48- and 72-hours post-exercise when compared with a fruit-flavored drink. However, beetroot juice does not improve subjective muscle soreness scores (111160). The validity of the findings from this meta-analysis is limited by the heterogeneity of the beetroot juice regimens among the included studies. Further, these results should not be generalized to elite athletes.

POSSIBLY INEFFECTIVE

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Drinking beetroot juice for up to 14 days may not improve exercise capacity in patients with COPD. Details: A meta-analysis of eight small clinical trials in patients with COPD shows that taking nitrate-rich beetroot juice does not improve most measures of exercise capacity, including the 6-minute walk test, cycling ergometry endurance time, and maximum rate of oxygen consumption (VO2 max), when compared with placebo. Additionally, beetroot juice did not reduce blood pressure or heart rate. However, the analysis did show a significant improvement in scores on the Borg Rating of Perceived Exhaustion scale with beetroot juice over placebo. Nitrate-rich beetroot juice doses ranged from 70-140 mL daily for up to 14 days (104200).

• Cognitive function. It is unclear if drinking beetroot juice is beneficial for cognitive function. Details: A small clinical study in adults with overweight or obesity on a calorie-restricted diet shows that drinking 70 mL of concentrated beetroot juice daily for 14 days improves the time to complete part B of the trail making test, which is a test of cognitive function, but not part A, when compared with controls (111158). However, the duration and size of this study limits its validity. Further, it is unclear whether any improvement is clinically significant.
• Coronary heart disease (CHD). It is unclear if oral beetroot extract is beneficial in patients with CHD. Details: A small clinical trial in patients with CHD shows that taking red beetroot extract 500 mg, containing around 25 mg betalains, twice daily for 2 weeks reduces total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by 15 mg/dL and reduces triglycerides by 8 mg/dL when compared to baseline. Slight improvements in blood pressure and blood glucose were also reported, but these changes were not clinically significant (103883). The validity of these findings is limited by the lack of a comparator group. Also, it is unclear whether beetroot can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with CHD.
• Dyslipidemia. It is unclear if oral beetroot is beneficial in patients with dyslipidemia. Details: A meta-analysis of small clinical studies in healthy individuals or patients with dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, or overweight or obesity, shows that consuming beetroot juice or leaves does not improve levels of triglycerides or total, low-density lipoprotein, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol when compared with controls (111163). However, the validity of the findings from this meta-analysis is limited by the heterogeneity of the enrolled patients and beetroot regimens.
• Exercise-induced muscle damage. It is unclear if oral beetroot juice improves recovery from muscle damage after exercise. Details: A meta-analysis of 4 small clinical studies in healthy or physically active individuals, most of which enrolled males only, shows that drinking beetroot juice improves measures of muscle recovery at 72 hours post-exercise when compared with a fruit-flavored drink. However, beetroot juice does not consistently improve recovery at earlier time points post-exercise, nor does it reduce levels of creatine kinase or markers of inflammation (i.e., interleukin-6, interleukin-8, c-reactive protein, or tumor necrosis factor-alpha) (111160). However, the validity of the findings from this meta-analysis is limited by the heterogeneity of the beetroot juice regimens among the included studies, which usually varied from 210-250 mg of nitrate in 7-11 servings over 3-7 days. Further, these results should not be generalized to elite athletes.
• Hypertension. Oral beet may slightly reduce blood pressure in healthy individuals, but it is unclear if it is beneficial in patients with hypertension. Details: Meta-analyses of small studies show the potential for a minor reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in healthy adults taking beetroot juice (94470,97718,97728). The average reduction in SBP and DBP with beetroot juice consumption is about 4 mmHg and 1 mmHg, respectively, which is greater than the effect seen with consuming blackcurrant juice or nitrate-depleted beetroot juice. The most benefit is seen when beetroot juice is taken for at least 2 weeks or at doses of 500 mL daily (97728). Another small clinical study shows that consuming beet 100 grams baked into bread modestly decreases DBP over a 6-hour period when compared with white bread (97725). It is possible that genetics might play a role in the magnitude of effect seen with beetroot consumption. Adults with a specific gene polymorphism, eNOS Glu298Asp, experienced a greater reduction in DBP after consuming beet-containing bread (97724). Despite positive findings in studies of healthy individuals, research on the use of beetroot juice in patients with hypertension is unclear. A small clinical study in adults with hypertension who were taking antihypertensive medications shows that drinking nitrate-rich beetroot juice (Beet it; James White Drinks Ltd.) 70 mL twice daily for one week does not lower blood pressure when compared with nitrate-depleted beetroot juice (94457). Also, in patients with mild to moderate hypertension, clinical research shows that taking a combination of beetroot powder (Sensient) 300 mg, olive leaf extract 1000 mg, and green coffee bean extract 200 mg daily for 6 weeks does not lower blood pressure when compared with placebo (97723). However, some evidence suggests that at least part of the blood pressure lowering effects of beet might be independent of nitrate (97728). Furthermore, some research suggests that identifying effects on blood pressure might be dependent on the method of measurement, including clinic resting measurements, 24-hour monitoring, or morning/evening home resting measurements (97729).
• Hypertriglyceridemia. It is unclear if oral beet is beneficial in patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Details: A small clinical study in overweight or obese individuals with dyslipidemia shows that taking freeze-dried beet leaf 2.8 grams daily for 4 weeks in addition to nutritional guidance does not lower triglyceride levels when compared with nutritional guidance alone (100146). Beet has also been evaluated in combination with other ingredients. A small clinical trial in patients at risk for heart disease shows that a specific combination of beet and hawthorn berry (Neo40-Daily, Neogenis Labs), taken twice daily for 30 days, can modestly reduce blood triglyceride levels when compared to baseline (18222). It is unclear if these findings are due to beet, hawthorn berry, or the combination.
• Liver disease. Although there has been interest in using oral beet for liver disease, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of beet for this purpose.
• Muscle strength. It is unclear if oral beetroot juice is beneficial for muscle strength. Details: A small clinical study in adults with overweight or obesity on a calorie-restricted diet shows that drinking 70 mL of concentrated beetroot juice daily for 14 days improves handgrip strength by approximately 18% compared with 4% in controls (111158). However, it is unclear whether any improvement is clinically significant.
• Obesity. It is unclear if oral beet leaf or beetroot juice is beneficial for weight loss. Details: A small clinical study in patients with overweight or obesity and dyslipidemia shows that taking freeze-dried beet leaf 2.8 grams daily for 4 weeks in addition to nutritional guidance does not reduce body weight or body mass index (BMI) when compared with nutritional guidance alone (100146). Similarly, a small clinical study in adults with overweight or obesity on a calorie-restricted diet shows that drinking 70 mL of concentrated beetroot juice daily for 14 days does not improve weight loss when compared with controls (111158). However, the size and duration of this study may have been inadequate to detect differences between groups.
• Pregnancy-induced hypertension. It is unclear if oral beetroot juice is beneficial in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension. Details: A small clinical trial in pregnant patients with hypertension who are at approximately 22-35 weeks gestation shows that taking beetroot juice (James White Drinks Ltd) 70 mL daily for 8 days does not reduce blood pressure when compared with a nitrate-depleted beetroot juice (100151). However, the study was small and designed to investigate the feasibility of using beetroot juice in this population.
• Pulmonary hypertension. It is unclear if oral beetroot juice is beneficial in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Details: A small clinical study shows that taking beetroot juice (Beet-It Sport; James White Drinks Ltd) 70 mL twice daily for 7 days does not improve right ventricular systolic function when compared with nitrate-depleted beetroot juice in patients with pulmonary hypertension (100149). However, this study was small and not adequately powered to detect differences between groups.
• Raynaud syndrome. It is unclear if oral beetroot juice is beneficial in patients with Raynaud syndrome. Details: A small clinical study in patients with Raynaud syndrome undergoing cold sensitivity tests shows that drinking beetroot juice (Beet-It, James White Drinks Ltd) 70 mL daily for 13 days, followed by 140 mL prior to testing, does not reduce pain in the hands or feet, but might improve thermal comfort in the feet, when compared to baseline (103884). The validity of this finding is limited by the lack of a comparator group. More evidence is needed to rate beet for these uses.

• Allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Lemon has only been evaluated in combination with quince in a nasal spray for hay fever; its effect when used alone is unclear. Details: A small clinical study in patients with grass pollen allergy shows that using a specific nasal spray (Gencydo, Weleda AG) containing lemon and quince three times daily for 7 days does not improve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis when compared with placebo. In this study, using the nasal spray reduced airway resistance during inspiration at 10 and 20 minutes after pollen exposure, and reduced airway resistance during expiration at 20 minutes after pollen exposure (98826).
• Anxiety. It is unclear if aromatherapy with lemon essential oil reduces test anxiety. Details: A small clinical study in first year nursing students in Turkey shows that administering aromatherapy with lemon essential oil for 15 minutes prior to an exam reduces test anxiety scores when compared with control students (110779). However, it is unclear whether any improvements are clinically significant or lead to improved test scores.
• Halitosis. Lemon essential oil has only been evaluated in combination with other essential oils; its effect when used alone is unclear. Details: Preliminary research in males with dementia in a long-term care facility shows that cleaning the tongue, gums, and teeth with a solution of lemon, peppermint, and tea tree essential oils twice daily for 7 days improves oral condition, measured on the Korean Oral Assessment Guide scale, increases salivary pH into the normal range, and decreases halitosis score when compared with saline control. On a scale of 0 to 5, the essential oil mixture reduced the halitosis score by 1.24 points, compared with 0.2 points for the control (112957).
• Hypertension. It is unclear if oral lemon is beneficial in patients with high blood pressure. Details: A small, prospective, population study in middle-aged Japanese women has found that increased lemon intake is associated with a modest reduction in systolic, but not diastolic, blood pressure (93471).
• Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis). It is unclear if oral lemon juice is beneficial for recurrent idiopathic calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis. Details: A randomized, controlled trial in patients with recurrent idiopathic calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis shows that taking fresh lemon juice 60 mL orally twice daily for 2 years with a standard diet does not improve the time to stone recurrence when compared with no supplementation. The validity of these findings is limited due to poor patient adherence, which declined from 79% at 6 months, to 68% at 1 year, and 48% at 2 years. When restricted to a 1-year follow-up, stone recurrence occurred in 10% of patients taking lemon juice, compared with 21% of patients in the control group; this difference was statistically significant (107489).
• Meniere disease. Although there is interest in using lemon orally for Meniere disease, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of lemon for this condition.
• Myocardial infarction (MI). It is unclear if aromatherapy with lemon essential oil is beneficial in patients with acute MI. Details: A small clinical study in hospitalized patients with acute MI shows that administering aromatherapy with lemon essential oil over 3 days moderately reduces systolic blood pressure, but not diastolic blood pressure, when compared with a paraffin control. Heart rate and anxiety were reduced by a small amount the day following the completion of lemon aromatherapy (103455).
• Nausea and vomiting. It is unclear if aromatherapy with lemon oil is beneficial in palliative care patients with nausea and vomiting. Details: A small observational study in hospitalized palliative care patients with advanced cancer has found that administering aromatherapy with lemon oil pads relieves nausea and vomiting in 73% of applications (110778). The interpretation of these findings is limited by the use of a retrospective chart review and the lack of a comparator group.
• Obesity. Although there is interest in using lemon orally for obesity, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of lemon for this condition.
• Oral mucositis. Lemon has only been evaluated in combination with other ingredients; its effect when used alone is unclear. Details: A randomized, controlled trial in patients with head and neck cancer receiving external beam radiotherapy 5 days weekly shows that using a 2:1 oral honey-lemon throat spray four to eight times daily, beginning 1 day prior to radiotherapy initiation and continuing for 5 weeks, does not improve severity of mucositis when compared with oral benzydamine hydrochloride throat spray applied four to eight times daily. The actual rate of oral mucositis occurrence is 65% in those receiving the honey-lemon spray, compared with 35% with the benzydamine hydrochloride spray; however, this difference was not statistically significant (107487). This study may have been inadequately powered to detect a difference between groups. Also, the validity of these findings is limited due to the lack of objective outcome measures.
• Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). It is unclear if aromatherapy with lemon essential oil is beneficial in patients with PONV. Details: Preliminary research in patients undergoing lower extremity fracture surgery shows that aromatherapy with lemon essential oil started the morning of surgery, then every 2 hours to the end of surgery, in the recovery room, and 16 hours after surgery reduces the frequency, severity, and amount of PONV, and the frequency of anti-emetic drug administration after surgery, when compared with control. The intensity of pain is also reduced, but not the amount of post-operative opioid needed (112956).
• Pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting. It is unclear if aromatherapy with lemon essential oil is beneficial in patients with nausea and vomiting due to pregnancy. Details: A small clinical study in pregnant patients shows that practicing aromatherapy with 2 drops of lemon essential oil placed on a cotton ball as needed modestly reduces pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting on 2 of 4 days of the study when compared with placebo (93475).
• Radiation-induced sialadenitis. Aromatherapy with lemon essential oil has only been evaluated in combination with other essential oils; its effect when used alone is unclear. Details: A small clinical study in patients with thyroid cancer shows that receiving 10-minute aromatherapy baths with lemon and ginger essential oils prior to meals for 2 weeks before treatment with radioactive iodine therapy attenuates damage to the salivary gland when compared with distilled water baths (98129).
• Respiratory tract infections. Although there is interest in using lemon orally for respiratory tract infections such as cold and flu, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of lemon for these conditions. More evidence is needed to rate lemon for these uses.

Details: A small clinical study in adults with obesity shows that consuming sweet cherry juice as 50 mL concentrate and 3-gram powder in 150 mL water twice daily for 30 days modestly lowers blood pressure when compared with placebo. However, sweet cherry does not reduce body weight or body mass index when compared to baseline (111723). The interpretation of these findings is limited by the lack of clarity about the dose of sweet cherry and high rate of patients discontinuing the study.
• Osteoarthritis. Although there has been interest in using oral sweet cherry for osteoarthritis, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of sweet cherry for this condition. More evidence is needed to rate sweet cherry for these uses.
