Common Vitamin Lowers Blood Pressure and Reduces Fat

We have written many times about the importance of vitamins E and D to support good cardiovascular health.

But there is another, even more common vitamin that has now been proven by researchers from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine drastically to lower blood pressure and remove plaque buildup from the arteries.

What’s more, it works wonders even in smallest doses.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine recently conducted an analysis of 29 unrelated studies of the effects of vitamin C for blood pressure-lowering abilities.

The average dose of vitamin C used in these 29 studies was about 500 mg and ranged from as low as 60 mg to 4000 mg throughout the median duration of 8 weeks. The study trial size ranged from 10 to 120 participants.

After summarizing the results of all 29 studies, researchers made a clear conclusion that vitamin C is incredibly effective in decreasing blood pressure.

Researchers explain that ascorbic acid (vitamin C) can boost the production of nitric oxide (NO), which dilates blood vessels. It also strengthens and improves the elasticity of inner walls of blood vessels (endothelial layer).

Surprisingly, this information has been known since 1954, when Nobel prize winner biochemist Linus Pauling started his research on the health benefits of vitamin C.

According to Pauling, we have full control of our cardiovascular health. Stroke and heart attacks can be eliminated, prevented and cured by the proper use of vitamin C and lysine (an essential amino acid).

He explained that besides harmful LDL cholesterol, there is another subtype of cholesterol called lipoprotein A (LPA) that causes most of the arterial inflammation. Lipoprotein is a nasty, heavy and sticky cholesterol molecule that slips under blood vessels weakening their outer layer and creating ruptures.

The reason doctors, in general, pay little or no attention to lipoprotein damage is that there are no patented drugs that can effectively remove it.

Vitamin C, however, counteracts lipoprotein. It creates a compound that binds with lipoprotein molecules and removes them.

This makes blood vessels stronger and more elastic. Plus, it removes inflammation and cholesterol plaque buildup in the arteries.

All this contributes to lower blood pressure with absolutely no side effects.

500–1000 mg is the recommended daily dose of vitamin C. If you feel like you need to temporarily tackle germs, viruses or inflammation, you can take up to 2000 mg/day.

If, however, you have high blood pressure, taking vitamin C may not be enough to get the results you want. To learn the most powerful method to lower high blood pressure naturally, click here …
