Food supplement for heart and blood sugar health in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a specially designed food (a nutraceutical) to see if it can help improve heart health and blood sugar control in older adults. If you are 65 or older, have heart disease and mild diabetes or prediabetes, you might be able to join and potentially benefit from this simple dietary approach.
