Beetroot juice for people living with Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether it's possible for people with Alzheimer's disease to take beetroot juice shots twice a day. The beetroot juice may help improve blood flow to the brain, which could slow down memory decline.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a natural plant compound can help support memory and thinking in people at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease. You may qualify if you are over 50, overweight, eat a typical Western diet, and have a family history of Alzheimer's.
This trial tests whether a nitrate-rich food supplement can improve blood flow in the brain and help thinking and memory. It is for people with small vessel disease in the brain or diabetes who are at risk for cognitive decline.
This study looks at whether taking beetroot extract can help improve quality of life and daily function in adults 75 and older. You will be asked to take the extract and complete simple health questionnaires.
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.
This study tests whether drinking a juice made from beets (which is rich in nitrates) can help improve thinking and memory in people who drink heavily. Nitrates may help improve blood flow to the brain.
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice can improve how well people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) can function and walk. It’s looking at circulation-related measurements in the legs and how you do on walking tests.
