Summary

We are interested in the effect of diet on blood pressure. Our previous research has shown that beetroot juice lowers blood pressure in healthy people. We now want to see if beetroot juice has this effect in people with high blood pressure. Beetroot juice is naturally rich in nitrate (also found in most other vegetables but particularly in green leafy vegetables). We think that it is the nitrate that lowers the blood pressure.
