Brain nutrition study for cognitive decline
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This trial studies whether taking an NAD supplement can support brain blood vessel health as people age. Participants will be tested for brain and health changes and may help researchers understand how to keep the brain’s blood vessels healthier over time.
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 study looks at whether taking nitrate can improve how red blood cells work in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to follow a specific plan and avoid certain foods or medicines that could affect the results.
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.
