Abstract

Nowadays, hypertension is of utmost concern in both developing and developed countries, since it leads to many health problems like cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke. In recent years, many studies were conducted to investigate the effect of nutraceuticals on blood pressure, which are natural food components having pharmacological properties. Nutraceuticals are especially beneficial for pre-hypertensive patients having a little more blood pressure than the normal range, in association with positive lifestyle changes. Even though nutraceuticals have a blood pressure-lowering effect, they cannot replace the conventional method of drug treatment for patients suffering from high blood pressure. Nutraceuticals with blood pressure-lowering activity under different categories like food, nutrients, and non-nutrients are reviewed in this article.
