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

Summary

This study tests whether a daily supplement made from ginger, L-citrulline, and two herbs can improve blood vessel function and reduce markers of aging in healthy adults. Over six weeks, 35 participants will take the supplement and have blood drawn to measure changes in PAI-1, a protein linked to aging and heart disease. The goal is to see if this natural approach can help prevent or delay cardiovascular problems.
