The aim of this study from scientists at Nottingham University was to investigate if and how CBD reduces Blood Pressure (BP) in humans.
In June 2017, scientists at Nottingham University published the research they had conducted earlier in the year. Nine healthy male volunteers were given 600 mg of CBD or placebo in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study.
CBD was administered in a singular dose after which the research team monitored changes in blood pressure, stroke volume (the measurement of blood that is pumped from the heart’s left ventricle) and heart rate.
All of the study’s participants took part in an exercise test and another stress test using cold temperatures. This allowed researchers to measure cardiac responses under different circumstances.
