This study is testing if drinking beetroot juice can help people with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. Researchers want to see if drinking two 70 ml beetroot juice drinks daily for 4 months improves how far you can walk in six minutes, compared to a placebo drink. They believe beetroot juice might improve blood flow and muscle health in your legs. You could join if you are 50 or older and have PAD, confirmed by specific tests like an ankle brachial index (ABI) of 0.90 or less. The study aims to enroll 210 people, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is a multi-centered, double-blind, randomized clinical trial involving 210 participants. This means neither you nor your doctors will know if you are receiving beetroot juice or a placebo.

What's involved

You would drink two 70 ml beetroot juice or placebo drinks daily for 4 months. Your walking distance will be measured at the beginning and at the end of the 4-month period.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your walking distance will be measured at a 4-month follow-up after starting the intervention.
