See the technical phrasing

Daily consumption of 250 mL beetroot juice providing approximately 6.4 mmol of dietary nitrate for 4 weeks causes a clinically significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 7.7/5.2 mm Hg (ambulatory), 7.7/2.4 mm Hg (clinic), and 8.1/3.8 mm Hg (home) in adults with hypertension, with no evidence of tolerance development.
