LIKELY SAFE ...when used in amounts commonly found in foods.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately for medicinal purposes, short term. Beetroot juice has been safely used in clinical trials in doses of up to 500 mL daily for up to 7 days and a beetroot-based nutritional gel has been used safely in doses of up to 100 grams daily for 8 days (94461,94462,94464,100149,100152,100153).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of beets used medicinally during pregnancy and breast-feeding.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately. Various proteolytic enzymes have been safely used orally in clinical research (716,964,965,968,969,6252,6253,10622,11457,18281,18284) (91104,91105,91106,91111,96449). Side effects are typically mild to moderate and most often include gastrointestinal effects. See specific monographs for more detailed information related to the safety of individual proteolytic enzymes. ...when used topically and appropriately. Various proteolytic enzymes have been safely used topically in clinical research (67835,67843,67845,91113). Some proteolytic enzymes might cause allergic reactions when used topically. See specific monographs for more detailed information related to the safety of individual proteolytic enzymes.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.

General
...Orally, beet seems to be well tolerated when used for medicinal purposes, short term.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Red stools and red urine.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Hypocalcemia and kidney damage when ingested in large amounts.
Endocrine ...Theoretically, ingestion of large quantities of beets could lead to hypocalcemia because of the oxaluric acid content (18).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, beet juice may cause red stools (94470,97726,100142,100145,105762). This red coloring of the stools is not harmful. Other less common gastrointestinal side effects include loose stools, constipation, and nausea (100149).
Genitourinary ...Orally, beet is known to produce red or pink urine (beeturia) in some people (32569,34134,94464,94470,97725,97726,100142,100145,100152,105762). However, this red coloring of the urine is not harmful.
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, vivid dreams and worsening headaches have each occurred in one person in a clinical trial, although it is not clear if this is due to beet (97723).
Renal ...Theoretically, ingestion of large quantities of beets could lead to kidney damage due to its oxaluric acid content (18).
General
...Orally, proteolytic enzymes are generally well tolerated.
See specific monographs for detailed safety information related to individual proteolytic enzymes.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Gastrointestinal upset.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Topically: Allergic reactions.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, some patients taking proteolytic enzymes may have gastrointestinal complaints (101517).
Immunologic ...Proteolytic enzymes are commonly found in laundry detergents and pre-spotter products. Rarely, protease specific IgE positive tests possibly related to these products have occurred. Exposure may be airborne or topical (102705). In addition, in case reports, occupational exposure to the airborne proteolytic enzyme pepsin has resulted in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis or asthma (102706,102707).
