Beetroot juice for pre-eclampsia in pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if drinking beetroot juice can help pregnant women with pre-eclampsia, a condition that causes high blood pressure and can be risky for both mother and baby. Beetroot juice contains natural nitrates that may help relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.

This study looks at blood-flow and artery health signs during pregnancy to better understand why preeclampsia happens. It compares women with preeclampsia to women with an uncomplicated pregnancy, and may help improve early detection and care.
This study is testing a new blood test that might help doctors quickly and safely identify preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy condition. If you're at risk, this test could help you get the right care earlier.
This study tests a new medicine, EG-101, in healthy women to see if it is safe and to learn how the body processes it. This is a first step before studying it in pregnant women with severe pre-eclampsia, a serious condition of high blood pressure during pregnancy.
This study measures blood vessel–related markers in pregnant people who already have high blood pressure or early preeclampsia. The goal is to predict who is more likely to get worse, so care can be better targeted.
This study tests whether taking a low dose of aspirin early in pregnancy can lower the risk of losing the baby or developing preeclampsia (a serious condition with high blood pressure). It is for women who have risk factors for these problems and are very early in pregnancy (less than 7 weeks).
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.
