Beetroot supplement and blood pressure after exercise
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a natural supplement from beetroot (inorganic nitrate) helps lower blood pressure after exercise in people who are obese and have slightly high blood pressure. Participants will take the supplement or a placebo and do supervised cycling sessions.
