After having beetroot juice,it's common to have change in the urine/stool colour due to the pigment.It will resolve in a day or two.You don't need to be concerned about it.

Yes, it’s normal for urine to appear pink or reddish after consuming beetroots (beets). Beetroots contain pigments called betalains, primarily betacyanins, which can give urine a pinkish or reddish hue when consumed in sufficient quantities. This phenomenon, known as beeturia, is harmless and typically resolves on its own within a day or two after discontinuing beet consumption.
Health Tips
However, if pink urine occurs without recent beet consumption or persists for an extended period, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional. This could indicate other underlying conditions that may need further evaluation.
