Can you take probiotics for high blood pressure

Probiotics can improve intestinal flora, soften stools, reduce intra-abdominal pressure and assist in digestion, which are beneficial food groups for patients with hypertension. Patients with hypertension can eat probiotics and products in moderation if they do not have obvious symptoms of gastrointestinal intolerance or allergy. However, in the process of choosing probiotics, it is necessary to pay attention to the probiotic compounding table, and plain yogurt is generally recommended. If the probiotic drink contains more sugar or other flavorings, it may have a certain adverse effect on the body’s energy metabolism, which may lead to the increase of blood sugar and blood lipid values in patients with hypertension, and eventually increase the possibility of progressive aggravation of target organ damage related to hypertension.
