Vitamin B6 can help Control Blood Pressure
Clinical Study Title:
Effect of oral pyridoxine hydrochloride supplementation on arterial
blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension.
| Plain
English Summary: |
This
study looked at the use of a vitamin b6, or pyridoxine,
on the blood pressure for patients with hypertension.
Participants were given a daily supplement of pyridoxine
during a 4 week period. Prior to the study, patients
with hypertension had higher levels of both systolic
and diastolic blood pressure, as well as norepinephrine
levels in the blood. After treatment with the daily
supplement of vitamin b6, the systolic and diastolic
measures of blood pressure for patients with hypertension
were the same as patients without a history of hypertension.
They also had similar levels of norepinephrine as
patients without a history of hypertension. This suggests
the a daily supplement of vitamin b6 can help to control
blood pressure, and help to reduce blood pressure
in patients with hypertension. |
