Hesperidin for Hypertension?

One hundred fifty-nine Spanish adults (aged 18-65 years) with pre-hypertension or stage 1 hypertension were randomly assigned to receive, in double-blind fashion, 500 ml per day of orange juice (containing 345 mg of hesperidin), orange juice enriched with additional hesperidin (total, 600 mg per day), or a hesperidin-free control drink (contents not specified). At 2, 6, 10, and 12 weeks, compared with the control drink, mean systolic blood pressure was significantly lower with high-dose hesperidin and nonsignificantly lower with low-dose hesperidin. At all time-points, high-dose hesperidin was nonsignificantly more effective than low-dose hesperidin for decreasing systolic blood pressure.

    The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City 1250 S Hayes St, Arlington, VA, United States
    Hybrid Event

    Menopause Care in the Longevity Era Longevity medicine is everywhere right now. Supplements, protocols, influencer clinics, patients walking in with questions about interventions their doctors have never heard of. What's missing from most of it is the evidence. The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.
