Beetroot powder for resistant hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
