Supplement for Blood Pressure
• Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Omega 3 fatty acids (docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids) are found in oily fish. Studies are indicating that they may have specific benefits for many medical conditions, including hypertension. They appear to help keep blood vessels flexible and may also help protect the nervous system. The fatty acids are also available in supplements, although over-the-counter supplements are not regulated and their effects on health are not known. The long-term effects on blood pressure are not known.
• Antioxidant Supplements. Antioxidants are any substances that help the body eliminate oxidants, or oxygen free radicals, which are damaging particles produced as part of the body's chemical processes. Some antioxidant supplements, including vitamins C and E and alpha-lipoic acid, are being studied for possible benefits in protecting against hypertension by preventing injury in the blood vessels. Alpha-lipoic acid for example prevented elevated blood pressure in rats. Vitamin C apparently also has specific benefits for hypertension by preventing dangerous effects on nitric acid, the substance that keeps arteries flexible.
• Calcium. Calcium regulates the tone of the smooth muscles lining blood vessels, and population studies have found that people who have sufficient dietary calcium have lower blood pressure than those who do not. Hypertension itself increases calcium loss from the body. Some, but not all, studies have found modest beneficial effects on blood pressure from calcium supplements. Sufficient calcium is important, in any case, for strong bones.
• Magnesium. Some studies reported that magnesium supplements may induce small but significant reductions in blood pressure. No major studies, however, have been done on long-term benefits or risks of magnesium supplements. A major 2001 study on diet found no effect on blood pressure from magnesium intake from foods.
So we can suggest Nutrilite Protein Powder, CalMag, Salmon Omega and Bio C for people who are suffering from Blood Pressure
