Evaluation of "Beauty Drink" on Regulation of Blood Pressure Effect by Clinical Trial

This report assesses the effect of supplementation with gamma-aminobutyric acid on blood pressure among people with mild hypertension. Overall, "Beauty Drink" consumption for 8 weeks could successfully reduce mean diastolic and systolic BP through the suppression of ACE linked to downstream suppression of angiotensin II formation, which further decreases the sympathetic outflow leads to hypertension.

This report assesses the effect of supplementation with gamma-aminobutyric acid on blood pressure among people with mild hypertension. Fifty subjects with systolic blood pressure (SBP) between 120 and 159 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between 80 and 99 mm Hg were randomized to ingest 2 bottles of "Beauty Drink" or placebo per day for 8 weeks of a stage. In addition, anthropometric measurements (blood pressure, body weight, body fat) and blood biochemical markers including fasting blood glucose (FBG), albumin, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), HDL-C, LDL-C, creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), AST, ALT were examined every four weeks.
