Nitrate supplement for resistant hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have resistant hypertension (high blood pressure that is hard to control with multiple medications).
- Your blood pressure medications have not changed or increased in the last 30 days.
- You do not have cancer or heart failure.
- You are not currently taking any medications that contain nitrates (like nitroglycerin).
- You have not had a procedure called renal denervation (a treatment for high blood pressure using kidney nerve radiofrequency).

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 if a powdered beetroot supplement can improve blood flow in the small blood vessels of people with resistant hypertension. If you have hard-to-treat high blood pressure, this might be an option for you.
This trial tests if a nitrate supplement (similar to beetroot) can help control chronic high blood pressure in early pregnancy. It is for women already taking methyldopa and enrolled before 16 weeks.
This study looks at whether a natural supplement from beetroot (inorganic nitrate) helps lower blood pressure after exercise in people who are obese and have slightly high blood pressure. Participants will take the supplement or a placebo and do supervised cycling sessions.
This study tests whether a natural substance found in leafy greens (dietary nitrate) can help protect the kidneys of people with high blood pressure and early kidney damage. It may offer a simple dietary way to slow kidney disease.
This trial tests whether taking 20 grams of beetroot powder daily can help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow in men who already have high blood pressure under control with medication. Beetroot is rich in nitrates, which may relax blood vessels.
