i'm just turned 64. Was diagnosed beta thal in my mid 20s. Unusually for a beta thal person i have pretty serious hypertension.
The last 8-9 months i've been taking 500mg magnisium daily. It's helped lower my BP by a lot. i don't understand why. Just know that if i stop taking it for a day or 2 then my BP is up high again.
Been on around 6000IU daily of vitamin D3 since Covid-19 started, and that's had a lot of benefits, but it didn't do anything for my BP.
The benefit i can most easily experience from vitamin D3 supplementation is that now i don't seem to any more be susceptible to respiratory infections as i have been all my life. Used to catch the flu a few times a year and it'd completely sideline me for a month. i'd catch bad pneumonia every couple years.
Haven't caught flu once since i started supplementing with vitamin D3.
Altho, the masking probably has something to do with that. i still wear one when i go to public places where there're lots of people.
