At selected times during the 24-hour study, volunteers with mild to moderate hypertension averaged as much as a 20 mmHg (i.e., 23%) decrease in blood pressure (BP) relative to placebo.
Over the 24-hour ambulatory monitoring period, volunteers averaged a significant reduction of 7.0% in systolic pressure with DehydraTECH-CBD relative to placebo.
Over the 24-hour ambulatory monitoring period, volunteers averaged a significant reduction of 5.3% in mean arterial pressure (MAP) with DehydraTECH-CBD relative to placebo.
Over the 24-hour ambulatory monitoring period, volunteers averaged a significant reduction of 3.5% in diastolic pressure relative to an increase in diastolic pressure (-0.8 vs. +2.7) from baseline with DehydraTECH-CBD relative to placebo.
Data analysis from the study is continuing, and additional outcomes will be reported upon when complete.
