Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound found in grapes, berries, and peanuts, has been investigated for its potential cardiovascular benefits, including effects on hypertension. The scientific interest in resveratrol as a supportive agent for high blood pressure arises from its antioxidant and vasodilatory properties observed in preclinical studies. Animal models have shown that resveratrol can help reduce blood pressure, possibly by enhancing nitric oxide production, improving endothelial function, and inhibiting vascular inflammation and oxidative stress. These mechanisms suggest a plausible basis for its antihypertensive effects.

However, the evidence in humans remains limited and inconsistent. Several small-scale clinical trials have explored resveratrol supplementation in hypertensive or prehypertensive individuals. Some studies report modest reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, particularly at higher doses (>150 mg/day), while others find no significant effect. A 2021 meta-analysis indicated that resveratrol could modestly lower blood pressure, but the effect size was small and the quality of evidence was low due to heterogeneity in study designs, dosages, and participant characteristics.

In summary, while there is preliminary scientific evidence supporting the potential use of resveratrol for hypertension, it is not yet robust or conclusive. The current body of research suggests a possible, but not firmly established, benefit. Therefore, resveratrol should not replace standard antihypertensive therapies, but may be considered as a complementary approach pending further studies.
