High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Supplements studied for high blood pressure (high-blood-pressure).
Overview
High blood pressure has extensive supplement coverage (51 supplements, 241 studies). Among top-rated entries, Calcium, Cocoa, Potassium, Fish Oil, and Melatonin each carry medium effect size, very high evidence, medium trust, DEX Score 68. Potassium and cocoa may produce modest systolic and diastolic reductions in trials; fish oil effects appear greater in moderate-to-severe high-blood-pressure. Calcium's blood-pressure effect is very small. Controlled-release melatonin at night may lower readings somewhat, while short-acting melatonin does not.
Effects are generally modest and vary by baseline blood pressure and concurrent medications. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below for the full ranked list.
