During the investigation, patients with low and very low vitamin D levels and high blood pressure were involved. The patients received either a vitamin D supplement or a placebo. Blood pressure was measured before and one and two months after the intervention. The results showed a significant reduction of both upper (systolic) and lower (diastolic) blood pressure in the supplementation group, which suggests a beneficial effect of vitamin D supplementation on (high) blood pressure. The use of vitamin D supplementation can be recommended as adjuvant therapy to treat high blood pressure. Further details can be found in the study.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>Sheikh et al.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a style=\"color: #5aadcb;\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/32951301\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary This study, executed by Iranian researchers, aimed to assess the effect of vitamin D supplementation on high blood pressure.
