- Multiple classes of blood pressure medications deplete nutrients, including some that are themselves effective at lowering blood pressure. — Drug-Induced Nutrient Deficiencies
- ACE inhibitors deplete potassium and magnesium, which support blood pressure regulation, potentially counteracting the drug's intended effect. — Drug-Induced Nutrient Deficiencies
- Beta blockers deplete CoQ10 and vitamin D. — Drug-Induced Nutrient Deficiencies
- ACE inhibitors significantly increase allergy and hypersensitivity reactions and commonly cause chronic cough. — The END of Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
- Daily aspirin has been shown to provide no meaningful benefit for cardiovascular outcomes according to the JAMA AMIS study. — The END of Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
- One study found calcium channel blockers reduced blood pressure by only 0.1 mmHg compared to other drugs, a clinically insignificant effect. — The END of Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
- Calcium channel blockers taken for more than five years are associated with brain shrinkage and increased cancer risk. — The END of Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
- Hydrochlorothiazide also increases homocysteine levels as a side effect. — The END of Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
