Test whether quick nitrate supplements change blood vessel function
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks how an acute (short-term) nitrate supplement affects how well your blood vessels work. It may help researchers understand whether these effects differ among Hispanic, Black, and White participants, in otherwise healthy adults.

This study tests whether breathing training and a natural nitrate supplement (from beets) can improve how well you exercise in conditions that simulate high altitude. You'll do cycling workouts while we measure your performance.
This study tests whether adding nitrate (a natural compound found in leafy greens and beets) to foods can boost the body’s levels of nitric oxide, which helps blood vessels relax and improve blood flow. If you’re a healthy adult, you may be able to join to help researchers learn how diet affects your blood vessels.
This study tests whether taking a nitrate supplement (from foods like beets) while doing a guided exercise program helps older adults get more health benefits from exercise. Researchers want to see if nitrates improve heart and muscle function.
This study looks at whether taking nitrate can improve how red blood cells work in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to follow a specific plan and avoid certain foods or medicines that could affect the results.
This trial tests whether a nitrate-rich food supplement can improve blood flow in the brain and help thinking and memory. It is for people with small vessel disease in the brain or diabetes who are at risk for cognitive decline.
This trial tests whether a natural nitrate supplement (like beetroot juice) can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function in people with resistant hypertension. If you have resistant hypertension and your medications have been stable for at least 30 days, you may be eligible.
