Abstract:
We performed this study to compare the therapeutic effect of beetroot juice and allicin in reducing the hypertension among mild to moderate hypertensive patients.75 hypertensive patients were selected from two hospitals for 4 weeks. Patients were informed to record daily home BP twice a day with Sphygmomanometer. The anthropometric measurements and biochemical evaluation were also collected. The mean difference of Systolic Blood pressure of Group A having beetroot juice was 18.14±9.347mmHg and in Group B taking allicin capsules were 6.20± 12.017mmHg (p=0.000, 0.009) respectively. The mean difference of Diastolic Blood pressure of Group A and B was 15.46± 10.807mmHg and 4.29± 11.297mmHg (p= 0.000, 0.056) respectively. There is no statistically significant mean difference in change in BMI and hemoglobin among the patients of two study groups (p-value, 0.134 and 0.653). The trend of reduction in HDL and cholesterol was observed in both study groups, (pvalue, 0.016, 0.019) respectively. There is no statistically significant mean difference in change in LDL and Triglycerides among the patients of two study groups (p-value, 0.702, 0.552) respectively. Group A showed more significant reduction in hypertension as compared to Group B. Beetroot juice exhibits remarkable hypertensive effectiveness.
