First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding nitrate-rich beetroot juice to exercise (either supervised treadmill sessions or home walking) improves walking distance more than exercise alone in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). About 210 adults aged 50 and older with PAD will be randomly assigned to one of four groups for 12 weeks. The goal is to find a more convenient and effective way to manage PAD symptoms and reduce disability.
