Chios Mastic in Well-Controlled Hypertension: Findings From the HYPER-MASTIC Randomized Controlled Trial.

A natural mastic supplement shows measurable vascular benefits in people with harder-to-control high blood pressure, warranting study in higher-risk groups.

This randomized controlled trial examined Chios Mastic in Well-Controlled Hypertension: Findings From the HYPER-MASTIC Randomized Controlled Trial. The PubMed abstract reports that Transcriptomic findings suggest biologically meaningful vascular effects in individuals with higher residual cardiovascular risk, supporting future investigation in higher-risk populations.
