Propionic acid supplement for blood vessel health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a propionic acid supplement (a natural substance) can improve the health of your blood vessels. If you have coronary artery disease, the supplement might help your blood vessels function better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a treatment aimed at increasing “rest-and-digest” nerve activity to improve how blood vessels work, especially in people with vascular oxidative stress. It is designed for African American adults and looks at whether the intervention can improve blood vessel-related health markers.
This test is looking at whether certain medications (like statins) can help improve blood vessel health in veterans who have heart failure with preserved pumping function. It may help reduce symptoms and keep you out of the hospital.
This study tests whether propionic acid can help the immune system work differently in children with advanced chronic kidney disease who receive regular dialysis. It may help regulate immune cells, aiming for better immune function while keeping you medically stable.
This trial tests a nutritional supplement (nicotinamide riboside) to see how it affects blood flow in healthy adults. It may help understand how to support vascular health as we age.
This trial tests whether a natural supplement called carnosine can improve walking distance and blood flow in people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD is a narrowing of the leg arteries that can cause pain when walking.
This study looks at how a type of fat called stearic acid affects blood vessel function. If you are an adult with overweight, you may be able to join to help understand how diet affects heart health.
