Study Finds Vitamin C Can Reduce High Blood Pressure


High Potency Vitamin C with Rose Hips 1000mg

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Researchers have discovered that a 500 milligram daily supplement of vitamin C can significantly reduce high blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

The study, published in the medical journal, Lancet, was done by scientists at the Boston University School of Medicine, in association with the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. It was supported with funding by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.

"Hypertension is a serious health problem in much of the world," said Balz Frei, professor and director of the Linus Pauling Institute, and a co-author of the research along with principal investigator Dr. Joseph Vita at Boston University. "It's a key risk factor in heart disease and strokes."

"We believe this is a significant finding that may be of considerable value to patients who have moderately elevated blood pressure," Frei said. "Working with their doctors, it may provide a way to bring their blood pressure back within acceptable levels without the cost or possible side effects of prescription drugs."
