Indication: Hypertension

Source: Am J Clin Nutr 2003 Feb;77(2):326-30.

Research: In a randomized, placebo-controlled study, 39 hypertensive patients received 150 ml/d of either L. helveticus LBK-16H fermented milk or a control product for 21 weeks after a 2-wk run-in period. During the run-in period, the average baseline diastolic and systolic blood pressure values were 155 and 97 mm Hg, respectively, in the test product group and 152 and 96 mm Hg, respectively, in the control group. After the run-in period, blood pressure was measured at home on the same day every week with the use of an automatic blood pressure recorder.

Results: There was a mean difference of 6.7 +/- 3.0 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure and of 3.6 +/- 1.9 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure between the test product and control groups. Demographic factors had no significant effect on the responses. Study authors concluded that L. helveticus LBK-16H fermented milk containing bioactive peptides in normal daily use has a blood pressure-lowering effect in hypertensive subjects.
