Is it true that vitamin C supplementation lowers blood pressure?
Unclear. Several small trials and animal studies report that vitamin C supplementation lowered blood pressure, including a meta-analysis snippet noting short-term trials reduced systolic BP, but the evidence covers only specific populations and short durations, with long-term effects still uncertain.
