Could a simple supplement protect First-Time moms from dangerous pregnancy blood pressure?

NCT ID NCT04979793

Summary

This study aims to see if a daily supplement called L-citrulline can help prevent high blood pressure disorders like preeclampsia in women during their first pregnancy. Researchers will enroll about 338 healthy first-time mothers between 12-16 weeks pregnant and randomly give them either the L-citrulline supplement or a placebo for 8 weeks. The main goal is to compare how many women in each group develop pregnancy-related high blood pressure conditions.
