Dietary Nitrate Supplementation and Physiological Function in Older Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Super Beets and Super Beets Placebo for Aging. Completed, enrolled 23 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The main purpose/s of this study is to examine the effects of 4 weeks of dietary nitrate supplementation on peripheral chemoreceptor sensitivity, spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity, and blood pressure responsiveness to a variety of physiological stressors in older healthy adults. We will also examine the effect of dietary nitrate supplementation on measures of central artery stiffness and aortic blood pressure in older adults. Lastly, we will also recruit a group of young subjects in order to help characterize the age-related changes associated with the physiological outcome measures of the present study.
