Abstract in brief

  • Dietary nitrate supplementation, such as beetroot juice, can lower blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients over a 4-week period, showing sustained effects without tolerance.
  • The study found significant reductions in clinic, ambulatory, and home BP measurements, along with improvements in endothelial function and decreased arterial stiffness, all with good tolerability.
  • These results suggest that dietary nitrate could be an affordable and accessible additional treatment option for managing hypertension.]
