- Short-term vitamin D3 supplementation (250 IU daily for 12 weeks) in hypertensive patients was associated with small but statistically significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
- Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels increased significantly after supplementation in patients with essential hypertension.
- The study was a pilot study without a control group, so causality cannot be established, and the clinical significance of the blood pressure reductions is uncertain.
