NR and exercise for blood pressure in postmenopausal women
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a supplement called nicotinamide riboside (NR) along with a guided exercise program can help lower blood pressure in postmenopausal Chinese women with high blood pressure. It aims to see if the combination works better than exercise alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who has not had a period for over a year (postmenopausal).
- You are of Chinese ethnicity.
- Your blood pressure is at least 120/80 mmHg, measured on two separate occasions.
- You do not have any health issues that make exercise unsafe (like heart disease, cancer, or bone/joint problems).
- You are not taking vitamin B supplements or NAD precursors (like nicotinamide riboside or NMN).
- You have not been doing regular, moderate-to-vigorous exercise (more than 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week) in the last 3 months.

This study tests whether drinking beetroot extract can help lower blood pressure and improve exercise ability in older women with high blood pressure. It compares beetroot extract to a placebo (a drink with no active ingredient) while participants do light physical activities.
This study tests whether a daily supplement called nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3), combined with a supervised exercise program, can help promote healthy aging and improve how well your body functions. You would take the supplement or a placebo for 12 weeks while doing light to moderate exercise.
This study looks at whether a natural compound in vegetables (called nitrate) combined with exercise can help improve blood vessel health in women after menopause. It may be a good fit if you are 45-65, do not exercise much, and have normal or mildly high blood pressure.
This trial tests whether nicotinamide riboside can improve elevated blood pressure and blood vessel stiffness in middle-aged and older adults. You may be randomly assigned to take the study medicine or not, and the team will check your heart/blood vessel measurements over time.
This study tests whether different exercise intensities combined with a beetroot-based nitrate supplement can improve blood vessel health in post-menopausal women who do not currently exercise regularly.
This study tests whether nicotinamide riboside (a B-vitamin supplement) can help people with combined pulmonary hypertension—a condition where blood pressure in the lungs is too high. The researchers want to understand how this supplement affects the body's energy metabolism and whether it might reduce symptoms and improve heart function.
