Summary
This early study tests whether a combination of arginine, tetrahydrobiopterin, and vitamin C can boost nitric oxide levels in the blood and help people with peripheral artery disease walk longer without pain. Ten participants will take the therapy and be monitored for changes in pain-free walking distance. The goal is to see if this approach can ease symptoms and improve daily activity.
