Hi
Certain studies suggest that Vitamin D deficiency can cause Hypertension in patients and vitamin D supplementation can reduce blood pressure.In normal Vitamin D levels,this effect is usually not seen.
You can take Vitamin D supplements in the form of drops,capsules or powder.Consuming along with milk is highly beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
