Chokeberry juice may lower ambulatory BP in untreated mild hypertension; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Does polyphenol-rich chokeberry juice consumption reduce blood pressure and improve lipid status in pharmacologically untreated subjects with high normal BP or grade I hypertension?
Regular consumption of polyphenol-rich chokeberry juice for 4 weeks significantly reduces blood pressure and improves lipid profiles in untreated patients with high normal BP or grade I hypertension.
