Study Summary

This trial tests a dietary supplement to see if it can improve lung function and cilia movement in normal people and those with Primary ciliary dyskinesia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-99 with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) and healthy controls without chronic lung disease. It's not suitable for those with bleeding disorders, beet allergies, other pulmonary conditions like cystic fibrosis, or recent nasal surgeries/infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of 'Beet-it Juice', a dietary supplement high in nitric oxide, on nasal and exhaled NO levels, ciliary beat frequency using video microscopy, and overall lung function through spirometry in PCD patients compared to healthy individuals.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated here, potential side effects may include reactions related to beet consumption such as red-colored urine/stools, low calcium levels if taken excessively, kidney damage when consumed in large amounts over time.
