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 tests whether taking beetroot juice (a natural source of nitrates) twice daily is practical for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if this simple supplement could help improve blood flow to the brain and support thinking skills.
This trial tests whether a special juice rich in nitrates can improve cognitive function in people who drink heavily. It may help those who want to understand or boost their brain health while continuing or receiving treatment for alcohol use.
This study tests whether taking a nitrate supplement (from foods like beets) while doing a guided exercise program helps older adults get more health benefits from exercise. Researchers want to see if nitrates improve heart and muscle function.
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.
