By itself, however, it is not the solution to high blood pressure. Instead, to prevent and control the condition naturally, a synergistic combination of micronutrients is needed.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Rath\u2019s scientific research has proven that the main cause of high blood pressure is a chronic deficiency of essential micronutrients in the millions of smooth muscle cells lining the blood vessel walls. His work has shown that nutrients such as vitamin C, lysine, proline, arginine, magnesium and others are critical for maintaining the strength and elasticity of the blood vessels \u2013 and thereby for maintaining normal blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>To learn how you can lower blood pressure naturally, using Dr. Rath\u2019s approaches, read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2018\/05\/how-to-lower-high-blood-pressure-using-natural-approaches\/\">this article<\/a> on our website.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button  button_left button_size_2 button_js\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nutraingredients-usa.com\/Article\/2019\/06\/11\/Low-vitamin-K-status-linked-to-higher-blood-pressure-stiffer-arteries\" target=\"_blank\"    ><span class=\"button_icon\"><i class=\"icon-right-open-big\" ><\/i><\/span><span class=\"button_label\">Read article at nutraingredients-usa.com<\/span><\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improving vitamin K status may boost cardiovascular health by reducing arterial stiffness and improving blood pressure, suggests a study from scientists in Belgium and The Netherlands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30373,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[120],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
