14 DAY TRIAL // A new research whose findings were shared with the public during a recent meeting of the American Chemical Society says that egg whites are as efficient as low doses of medication when it comes to lowering blood pressure and keeping it under control.
Specialists explain that egg white have this “innate” ability to lower blood pressure because of a peptide they contain. This peptide is referred to by the scientific community as RVPSL.
Business Insider informs us that, as experiments carried out in mice have shown, said peptide can inhabit or even block the action of a substance (i.e. ACE) whose ability to cause elevated blood pressure is well documented.
“We have evidence from the laboratory that a substance in egg white - it's a peptide, one of the building blocks of proteins - reduces blood pressure about as much as a low dose of Captopril, a high-blood-pressure drug” specialist Zhipeng Yu said.
“Our results support and enhance previous findings on this topic. They were promising enough to move ahead with further research on the effects of the egg white peptide on human health,” said researcher further argued.
