Beetroot powder for blood pressure in men with hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking 20 grams of beetroot powder daily can help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow in men who already have high blood pressure under control with medication. Beetroot is rich in nitrates, which may relax blood vessels.
