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 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 trial tests whether taking a simple nitrate supplement (similar to the nitrates in beets) can improve blood flow in the tiny vessels of the heart for women who have chest pain but no blockages in their major arteries. It may help if your heart's small vessels aren't working as well as they should.
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.
