Equol and blood vessel health in women with kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a supplement called equol, made from soy, can improve blood vessel function in postmenopausal women with moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease. Participants take equol or a placebo for several weeks to see if it helps their heart health.
