Learn More »A regular glass of beetroot juice can reduce signs of inflammation in blood vessels that are known to be increased in people with coronary heart disease, according to new research we’ve funded and presented at the British Cardiovascular Society conference in Manchester. Nitric oxide is produced naturally by the body and it’s vital for our health. In addition to its role in regulating blood pressure, nitric oxide has important anti-inflammatory effects. However, levels of nitric oxide are lower in people with heart and circulatory conditions as the enzyme that produces it is less active. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London investigated whether a daily beetroot juice high in inorganic nitrate would increase levels of nitric oxide in a different way, and whether this would impact inflammation. The team studied 114 healthy volunteers – 78 who were given a typhoid vaccine to temporarily increase inflammation in their blood vessels, and 36 who were given a cream to create a small blister on their skin to look at more localised inflammation. The volunteers drank 140ml beetroot juice every morning for seven days – half of them drank juice that was high in nitrate while the other half drank juice that had the nitrate removed.

Learn More »The researchers believe that the increased levels of nitric oxide helped to speed-up how quickly the volunteers were able to recover from inflammation by switching key immune cells from a state that promotes inflammation to become more anti-inflammatory. They think this could have benefits for people with coronary heart disease, a condition which affects one in 30 people in the UK.
