AstaREAL astaxanthin lowers blood pressure in rats.A new study performed at Georgetown University Medical Center Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) is the medical campus at Georgetown University. It is co-located with Georgetown University Hospital on the University's main campus in Washington, DC. demonstrates the ability of AstaREAL astaxanthin to significantly lower systolic blood pressure Systolic blood pressure Blood pressure when the heart contracts (beats).
