People with hypertension can usually take liquid calcium. If individuals with high blood pressure need calcium supplementation, they may consume various forms of calcium supplements, including liquid calcium, calcium minerals, or calcium tablets. Calcium is an essential element in the human body that helps strengthen bones and generally does not have a significant impact on hypertension. Patients with hypertension should follow a low-salt, low-fat diet and avoid foods high in cholesterol in their daily meals.
