Taking regular vitamin C might lower your high blood pressure
A new study on high blood pressure from Boston University suggests that taking regular vitamin C can lower your high blood pressure. The study only had a small number of people taking part so it's too early to say if the result will be confirmed but it certainly looks promising.
Blood pressure sufferers took vitamin C every day for a month. At the end of the month the researchers found that blood pressure levels were significantly reduced.
If these results are confirmed in a bigger study then a simple dose of 500mg vitamin C every day might lead to better blood pressure control for many people.
