Your Stroke Risk Spikes 16%: This Common Supplement

Here on Blue Heron Health News, we’ve published hundreds of articles on the benefits of various supplements for myriad health conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol.

A recent study from Britain’s University of Dundee and University College reveals that one particular—but very common—supplement has the opposite effect. It makes your blood pressure skyrocket, increasing the risk of strokes and heart attacks.

The bad news is that millions of people take this particular supplement, thinking it will improve their health, but the opposite is true.

According to recent research, a supplement in an effervescent form, such as a fizzy, drinkable vitamin C or other proprietary blends, is proving to cause more harm than good.

Scientists at Britain’s University of Dundee and University College looked at study participants’ blood pressure and risk of stroke, comparing those who take supplements in a dissolvable fizzy form and those taking the same supplement in the same dose but in other ways.

They found that using a dissolvable fizzy compound places the user at a 16% increased risk of a stroke and dramatically increases the user’s blood pressure.

Why?

One main ingredient is sodium bicarbonate, which gives a product its characteristic fizz.

Researchers noted that taking the maximum allowable daily dose of a supplement in fizzy, drinkable form can quadruple the recommended sodium intake. For people with sodium-affected hypertension, this can be very dangerous.
