Antihypertensive preparation comprising an alginate and vitamin D

Abstract

Alginates capable of binding sodium and having ion exchanging capacity are used in conjunction with vitamin D for the treatment of hypertension. Such alginates may be acid extracted from seaweeds such as Asophylum nodosum. The acid-extracted alginate may be converted, for example, to potassium alginate prior to administration or mixing with vitamin D to form pharmaceutical compositions.
