Vitamin C and Nitrate Co-supplementation for Endothelial function.
25 April 2024
This study examines the combined effects of inorganic nitrate and vitamin C supplementation on cardiovascular health in overweight and obese middle-aged and older adults. Previous research suggests potential benefits for blood pressure and arterial stiffness. We aim to determine if this combination improves cardiovascular outcomes compared to inorganic nitrate alone or placebo in this high-risk population.
