First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether taking 20 grams of beetroot powder daily for a week can help lower blood pressure in men with hypertension who are already on medication. Sixty men will be randomly assigned to either take the powder or continue their usual treatment, then switch after a week. The goal is to see if the nitrates in beetroot can improve blood vessel function and further reduce blood pressure.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a natural dietary supplement to help control blood pressure in men with hypertension.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 men, and it uses a crossover design, so results may not be conclusive. The effect may be modest or not apply to women or other groups.
