Top picks by evidence
- Moderate evidence3 studies
Across 3 studies (2 reviews and 1 meta-analysis), 2 reported beneficial effects on blood pressure with small to moderate effect sizes, while one meta-analysis in patients with type 2 diabetes or hyperglycemia found no significant effect.
- 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 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.
Dose: 500 mg twice daily (1000 mg/day) to 1200 mg/day

- Very lowOlive OilAcross 3 studies, 2 report beneficial effects (one moderate, one small) and 1 neutral effect. The only statistically significant finding comes from a review citing large-scale trials (PREDIMED, Seven Countries Study). Predominant effect size appears mixed (small to moderate) due to conflicting systematic review results. No dose range or population can be determined from available data.2 beneficial1 neutral3 studies

- 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
