Equol supplement and blood vessel health in women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking an Equol supplement (a soy-related compound) improves blood vessel function in postmenopausal women with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). It could help women with or without early-stage CKD learn if this supplement supports heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
