Best Supplements for Reduced Blood Pressure
Ranked by research evidence. Compare 94 supplements across 115 papers from the biomedical literature, with effect direction, evidence strength, and dose range for each.
Top picks by evidence
- Low evidence3 studies
Across 3 studies, all reported beneficial effects on blood pressure, with a predominantly moderate effect size (two moderate, one small). No specific dose, form, or population data were available. Evidence base is small, so conclusions should be considered preliminary.
- Low evidence3 studies
Across 3 studies, 2 reported beneficial effects and 1 was neutral, with no harmful findings. The predominant effect size is mixed (small to moderate), with the largest effect (moderate) coming from a lower-quality review. Evidence primarily comes from clinical populations with type 2 diabetes or hyperglycemia; no consistent dose or form data are available, and study durations were not reported.
- Low evidence3 studies
Across 3 studies on berberine for reduced blood pressure, 1 reported a beneficial moderate-sized effect, while 2 found neutral effects. The median study duration was 84 days (12 weeks). Most evidence points toward a neutral effect, though the single beneficial study suggests possible benefit in obese adults. Doses ranged from 500 mg twice daily to 1200 mg/day, with the most commonly reported dose being 500 mg twice a day.

- LowL-CitrullineAcross 3 studies, only 1 reported a beneficial small effect of L-citrulline on reducing blood pressure, while 2 found neutral effects. The evidence base is small and preliminary, with the only statistically significant finding coming from a review, not from the larger meta-analysis or RCT. Effects were predominantly small or none, and no consistent dose or form was identified across studies. The median study duration was 84 days (one study), but this is insufficient to generalize.1 beneficial2 neutral3 studies
