A member asked:
Help! can beet powder in my vitamin cause kidney stones?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly: Beets are high in oxalate. If you are prone to oxalate stone formation then a high intake of oxalate could increase the risk of stone formation.

Beets and oxalate: Beets contain oxalate - and oxalate excess can cause stones; but it is unlikely that beet powder in your vitamin is going to promote oxalate stones - does not seem like enough - Many foods contain oxalate, only nine foods are believed to promote kidney stone formation. They are: beets, spinach, rhubarb, strawberries, nuts, chocolate, tea, wheat bran, dry beans; drinking 3 liters fluid /day helps
