This study looks at whether eating more nitrate-rich vegetables changes inflammatory markers and the balance of bacteria in the mouth for people with periodontitis (serious gum disease). It may help us understand better diet-based support alongside standard non-surgical gum treatment.
This study tests if a probiotic supplement can help your body turn nitrates from food into a substance that may improve blood flow. Healthy adults who are comfortable with blood and saliva samples can take part.
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 a special mouthwash containing nitrates can improve how your blood vessels work. Nitrates may help blood vessels relax and improve blood flow, which could be good for heart health.
This study looks at how eating nitrate-rich vegetables (like spinach and beets) might affect the helpful bacteria in your child's mouth and their blood pressure. It's for children ages 10 to 18 who have primary hypertension (high blood pressure not caused by another condition) and are otherwise healthy.
This study tests whether eating foods rich in dietary nitrates (like beets) combined with reducing calorie intake improves memory and blood vessel function in older adults.
