High-Dose Vitamin D Shows Limited Added Benefits in Hypertension

Two doses of vitamin D were investigated for their potential to have a positive impact on systolic and diastolic blood pressures when administered in conjunction with calcium.

Older adult individuals who are considered overweight, with a body mass index above 30 kg/m², and those who have hypertension are more likely to derive benefit from supplementary treatment of vitamin D₃ (or cholecalciferol) administered with calcium vs other patient populations, according to new research published online today in Journal of the Endocrine Society.¹
