Description
Salerno and four colleagues run a year long trial of an herbal blend and vitamins for blood vessel health in twenty twenty-six. Heart and vessel disease is the top cause of death in the world. The blend comes from Ayurveda, a classic system of medicine from India. The trial enrolled one hundred thirty-eight Black adults with vessel disease or high risk.
Each group took the blend, vitamins C and E, or a dummy pill for twelve months. The blend group gained most on a test of how vessels widen to a drug. That gain hit the range classed as normal for vessel muscle. Other tests, from vessel wall thickness to blood fats, showed no clear gaps. Bigger trials are needed, the authors say.
