Study Summary
This trial will test if drinking beetroot juice can help improve exercise performance in people with Interstitial Lung Disease.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with certain types of interstitial lung disease (like IPF or NSIP) who have stable oxygen levels and health in the past 6 weeks. They should be able to exercise, not have severe other diseases, no pacemakers or similar devices, and their lung function should be above a specific threshold.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if drinking beetroot juice rich in nitrate improves exercise performance compared to beetroot juice without nitrate for those with interstitial lung disease. Participants will drink one type of juice and see how it affects their ability to exercise.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Beetroot juice may cause changes in urine color, digestive discomfort, or lower blood pressure. Since it's a natural product used within normal dietary amounts, serious side effects are unlikely but can vary by individual.
