NCT ID NCT04851288
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a daily supplement called MitoQ can improve blood vessel function in people aged 60 and older. Aging often leads to stiff arteries and poor blood vessel health, raising heart disease risk. The trial involves 112 participants taking either MitoQ or a placebo for 3 months to see if it reverses age-related vascular damage.
