First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether beetroot powder, which is rich in nitrates, can help lower blood pressure in people with resistant hypertension (high blood pressure that doesn't respond well to standard medications). Researchers will monitor blood pressure changes in 50 participants over time. The goal is to see if this simple dietary supplement can improve blood vessel function and offer a new way to manage this stubborn condition.
