High blood pressure
Vitamin C Improves the ability of blood vessels to react appropriately to relaxation signals; increases nitric oxide, a powerful vasodilator.
Magnesium promotes dilation of blood vessels.
Zinc regulates enzymes that directly affect blood pressure
Vitamin B6 Lowers homocysteine, a toxin that makes arteries stiff and raises blood pressure
Coenzyme Q10 Improves bioenergetics of blood vessel wall.
Biotin reduces systolic blood pressure by activating an enzyme (cGMP) that causes smooth muscle to relax.
Glutathione increased blood vessel diameter and blood flow, which together can lower blood pressure and significantly reduce coronary risk factors.
