Calcium supplementation had a significant lowering effect on diastolic blood pressure over the course of the study in the hypertensive group only. The hypertensive control subjects&#8217; mean serum ionic calcium value decreased significantly (P less than 0.05) over the course of the experiment. A significant (P less than 0.05) inverse relationship was observed between dietary calcium intake and blood pressure (r = -0.386 for systolic pressure and -0.359 for diastolic pressure).<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>K B Knight,\u00a0R E Keith<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a style=\"color: #5aadcb;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/1550073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary Normotensive and hypertensive pregnant women participated in a study to determine the effects of calcium supplementation on blood pressure.
