Table 1.
Nutrient Data base and as seen from the data above, Potassium have the Nutrient Value
of 198 mg which is very essential in maintaining normal blood pressure and sometimes
lowering elevated blood pressure. There is this mineral also called Magnesium which
comprises 2.5% of the RDA this mineral helps maintain Potassium in the cell. The most
more recent years gained particular attention for its effects on blood pressure. Anthocyanin is
popular in preventing and treating diseases of the heart and blood vessels. In addition, Tultullaya
is rich in Vitamin C about 27.7 mg. Vitamin C may act as a diuretic which removes excess fluid
from the body. This may help lower the pressure within your blood vessels. According to
scientists from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, high doses of vitamin C — an
average of 500 mg per day — may produce small reductions of blood pressure; to reduce the risk
The table shows the nutrient content of Tultullaya that motivates the researchers to

Ashitaba also contains other compounds, including:
The table 2 shows the Nutritional Value of Ashitaba according to Kenko. Green Nutrient
Data base and as seen from the data above, Potassium have the Nutrient Value of 81 mg which is
vital for maintaining normal blood pressure and sometimes lowering elevated blood pressure.
Also, the mineral Magnesium which comprises 3.9 mg of Nutrient Value can help maintain
thought to have beneficial effects on blood vessels. According to American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition in 2015, after four weeks of daily consumption of hesperidin beverage, participants'
diastolic blood pressure was significantly lower and endothelial function (after eating a meal)
was significantly improved. The elevated serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, and
phospholipid are expected pharmacological effects of chalcones that are known to increase
cholesterol transport and circulating triglycerides (Nagata et al., 2007; Ogawa et al., 2003).
Based to the article, Ashitaba Benefits [A Comprehensive New Guide] states that, Chalcones are
exceptional composite substances that are recognized for their healing properties. In concentrated
levels, they help purify the blood. They reduce cholesterol and regulate blood pressure. They
foster efficient metabolism by helping the digestive system break down fats, so they are
highly recommended for weight loss. The American Heart Association says that a 5-10 pound
loss can benefit your blood pressure levels, reducing or preventing hypertension.
The table shows the nutrient content of Ashitaba which shows its benefits to people
suffering from hypertension. Furthermore, Scientists hypothesize that ashitaba may act by
blocking the activity of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which might, theoretically,
looking at the many nutrients present and good effects that it can give to the human body.
