Effects of Carnosine In Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Patients (NCT06480760)
Effects of Carnosine In Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Patients; Randomized Intervention Trial (CIPHER)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether carnosine (a food ingredient found in chicken and red meat) supplementation (2 g) for 6 months in participants with non-claudication and claudication peripheral arterial disease (PAD) improves walking ability. Previous studies with heart failure patients have shown that carnosine supplementation increases walking capacity in these patients.
