Summary
This study tested whether taking dietary nitrate (found in beets) together with vitamin C can lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel health in overweight adults aged 50-75. Fifteen participants were given either the combination, nitrate alone, or a placebo. The goal was to see if the combination works better than nitrate alone for people at higher risk of heart disease.
