Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether potassium magnesium citrate, a supplement that provides key nutrients from the DASH diet, can lower blood pressure in African Americans with pre- or stage 1 hypertension. The study will enroll 45 participants and measure blood pressure over 24 hours. If successful, it could offer a simple way to prevent or manage high blood pressure in a group that often faces higher risks.

Potassium magnesium citrate

What this could lead to

If it works, this supplement could offer a simple, diet-like way to lower blood pressure in African Americans, potentially reducing their risk of heart disease.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The supplement may not lower blood pressure as hoped, and side effects like stomach upset are possible.
