Researchers from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine evaluated all the vitamin C studies relating to blood pressure dating back to 1966. They concluded that an average dose of 500 mg of supplemental vitamin C per day for 8 weeks significantly lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Vitamin C is one of the grand-daddy antioxidant nutrients and as such is one of the vitamins that the Big Pharma-sponsored American Heart Association loves to hate. It is actually ironic for mainstream researchers to tout the benefits of vitamin C for cardiovascular health.
Vitamin C is an important antioxidant in your blood that helps to lower inflammation such as CRP C-reactive protein. It is an acute phase protein that increases during systemic inflammation. It is a general way to assess cardiovascular disease risk. A more sensitive test for heart disease risk is hs-CRP, highly sensitive CRP. (C reactive protein). Vitamin C is needed for collagen synthesis that contributes to flexible arteries. And vitamin C participates as a member of the antioxidant team that protects your cardiovascular system.
