Scientists have found that a popular supplement can lower blood pressure

Argentine scientists have found that the use of omega-3 fatty acids can improve the state of the cardiovascular system in people with hypertension and impaired fat metabolism. The results of the scientific work are presented in the journal Nutrients.

The clinical study involved 100 adult volunteers undergoing drug treatment for high blood pressure and dyslipidemia. For three months, some patients received two grams of omega-3 daily, while the rest took a placebo. The previously prescribed therapy was not canceled.

According to the results of the experiment, experts recorded noticeable differences between the groups. In participants who consumed omega-3s, daily systolic pressure decreased by an average of 6.5 mm Hg more than those who received a placebo. The difference in night diastolic pressure reduction was 5.6 mm Hg.

In addition, scientists have identified a decrease in individual markers of inflammation and the calculated index of artery stiffness. The authors believe that omega-3 may have additional beneficial effects on blood vessels with standard treatment, but the results require further study.
