Feeling tired from low energy, occasional eye strain, or concerns about liver health? This vibrant smoothie blending beetroot, carrot, and green apple (often called ABC juice) is popular for its nutrient density and refreshing taste. Viral claims suggest it “fights anemia,” “restores vision,” and “cleanses fatty liver” – but while these ingredients offer antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber that may gently support related areas, no evidence shows dramatic reversal or cleansing. Benefits are subtle, from regular whole-food intake alongside healthy habits.
