Source: International Journal for Vitamin & Nutrition Research, 2002;72:309-314.

Research: Researchers asked 70 patients with newly diagnosed mild hypertension to take either 200 IU of vitamin E or placebos daily for 27 weeks. Blood pressure levels before treatments ranged from 140 mmHg to 160 mmHg systolic and 90 mmHg to 100 mmHg diastolic (140/90-160/100).

Results: Overall, patients taking vitamin E supplements had a significant 24% decrease in systolic blood pressure, compared with 1.6% decrease in the placebo group. Diastolic blood pressure declined by 12.5% in the vitamin E group compared with 6% in the placebo group.
