Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system that tries to protect the body against invasive pathogens.
In the acute phase of infection, after receiving the information transmitted by the central nervous system, the white blood cells of the first line of defense stimulate the production of blood platelets to cover the site of damage and pro-inflammatory cytokines, killing off the foreign invaders.
During the acute phase of infection, overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines may cause damage to nearby healthy cells, leading to the formation of scars.
Most cases of infection are stopped at the acute phase of infection. The wound is slowly healed within a few days or weeks.
However, if the immune system can not destroy all pathogens within a period in the range of 3 to 8 weeks, it will adapt to the new change, leading to chronic inflammation.
In some cases, the infection may be latent in which the pathogen remains within the body for a long time without producing any symptoms, such as the hepatitis virus.
Betacyanins are phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.
On finding a natural pigment for the prevention and treatment of disease associated with chronic inflammation, researchers examined the effects of Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) juice (BRJ, betacyanins, and betaxanthin) anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo.

According to the tested assays, pretreatment with BRJ (150 and 300 mg/kg) not only reduced oxidative/nitrosative stress but also restored the cardiac endogenous antioxidants in myocardial injury rats.
Oxidative stress-induced hyperlipidemia level was significantly reduced by the BRJ pretreatment.
The results strongly suggested that BRJ pretreatment mitigates cardiac dysfunction and structural damages by decreasing oxidative stress, inflammation in cardiac tissues.
Dr. Raish M, the lead scientist said, "These results further support the use of BRJ in traditional medicine against cardiovascular diseases".
Furthermore, in rat induced renal damage by Paraquat injected intraperitoneally randomly divided into four groups: a control group, a paraquat group, and two paraquat groups that were treated with betanin at 25 and 100 mg/kg/d three days before and two days after paraquat administration.

Taken altogether, betacyanins processed abundantly bioactive ingredient betanin in BRJ may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of disease associated with inflammation, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of betacyanins in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
