SC100+ lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Subjects took open-labeled SC100+ for 15 weeks. Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP in A) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP in B) were measured at baseline (blue bars) and after taking SC100+ (red bars). SBP and DBP were in the normal range before and after SC100+. All significant reductions (p < 0.05 in paired t tests) in SBP and DBP are designated with a Star. For comparison with hypertensive patients on drugs, the VH (80 mg valsartan +12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide) and Placebo samples were from a published multicenter, double blind, randomized trial [69] on 132 hypertensive patients (average age of 59 years and 59% male with starting BP of 143/88 mmHg) treated with VH or a placebo
