hi..
thanks for sharing your problem in this forum..
you are taking juice of beet roots..beet root contains the colour which is absorbed partially by your intestine in the body ..the unabsorbed colour passed in the faeces
(motion) that gives colour to it..the half of it is absorbed in the body but not converted to other form and directly pass in your urine..so it gives colour to it...there is no need to worry about it..its a normal phenomenon..enjoy good health..thanks

Hi welcome to hcm.
Tubers like beetroot have anthracocyanin pigments which are excreted through urine and motion.so you need not worry.stop taking the juice if you feel abdominal pain,nausea,vomiting,bowel disturbances or burning micturitio or fever.consult your doctor if any symptoms occur take care.
Thankyou.
