Abstract
A nutritional supplement including β-cryptoxanthin is found to be effective at lowering blood pressure in mammals. β-cryptoxanthin therefore may be used to maintain cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure, preventing high, elevated blood pressure and/or maintaining healthy blood pressure. Administration of β-cryptoxanthin in combination with safflower oil is particularly effective.
