There is a link between low vitamin D and elevated blood pressure
Elevated blood pressure is one of the most widespread, life-threatening cardiovascular diseases. Anti-hypertensive drugs don’t address the underlying cause and are even associated with side effects. Lack of vitamin D, which can cause different cardiovascular diseases, is also quite common. According to a large Spanish population study, having higher levels of vitamin D in the blood can lower the risk of hypertension. In their research paper, the scientists address the mechanisms through which vitamin D is thought to control blood pressure.
