Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension): Micronutrient Therapy

Orthostatic hypotension may indicate a deficiency of the following vital substance (micronutrients):

  • Orthostatic hypotension, although rare, may be a symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency

In the context of micronutrient medicine (vital substances), the following vital substance (micronutrients) can be used for supportive therapy:

  • Sodium chloride (table salt): a high-salt diet provides a fluid increase in the extracellular space and thus increases the blood volume (blood and tissue fluid). It has a blood pressure-increasing effect, but can also lead to a disturbance of the mineral balance with increased intake.

The above vital substance recommendations (micronutrients) were created with the help of medical experts. All statements are supported by scientific studies with high levels of evidence. For a therapy recommendation, only clinical studies with the highest degrees of evidence (grade 1a/1b and 2a/2b) were used, which due to their high significance prove the therapy recommendation. These data are updated at certain intervals.

* Vital substances (macro- and micronutrients) include vitamins, minerals, trace elements, vital amino acids, vital fatty acids, etc.
