May aid in managing high blood pressure
High blood pressure is one of the most leading health disorders globally. High blood pressure can put you at a higher risk of heart disease, brain hemorrhage, and strokes since it is the leading cause of death all over the globe. Studies show that vitamin C might help in lowering blood pressure in people either having hypertension or not. According to a study, taking vitamin C supplement can help in relaxing the blood vessels that transport blood from the heart thus vitamin C helps in reducing blood pressure levels.
In addition, an analysis involving 29 human test subjects reveals that taking vitamin C supplement can reduce the systolic blood pressure by almost 3.8 mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure by 1.5 mmHg on an average in adults with no other diseases. In case of hypertensive adults, vitamin C supplementation can decrease the systolic blood pressure by 4.9 mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure by 1.7 mmHg. However, these study results are not always promising as it is not yet clear that how vitamin C influences on blood pressure levels. Furthermore, people having high blood pressure must not rely only on vitamin C for treatment.
