Potassium and magnesium citrate for early high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether potassium–magnesium citrate can help prevent or treat high blood pressure in African American adults with early (mild) hypertension. It’s aimed at lowering blood pressure and checking for safety in people who meet specific health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are African American and have early high blood pressure (stage I) based on your recent readings (systolic 120–139 or diastolic under 90).
- You do not have diabetes.
- You do not have kidney problems (your creatinine is not above 1.4 mg/dL).
- You do not have certain heart conditions (like congestive heart failure or ongoing rhythm problems).
- You are not currently using medicines that affect fluid balance or potassium (diuretics, including spironolactone) and you do not take NSAIDs regularly.

This trial looks at how salt in your diet affects blood pressure control if you already have high blood pressure (hypertension). It aims to find simple ways to help manage your condition through diet.
This study tests a standard approach to lowering blood pressure in people whose blood pressure is not well controlled with current treatment. It may help find a more effective way to manage hypertension.
This trial tests whether taking prebiotics can help manage blood pressure in adults newly diagnosed with hypertension. It may be useful if you are not already on blood pressure medicines and your blood pressure is in the high range.
This study tests whether using a low-sodium salt substitute can keep your potassium levels safe while you manage your high blood pressure. It's for adults with high blood pressure who are already on stable medications.
This study tests whether lifestyle changes—like diet and exercise—can help lower blood pressure in Black adults with moderate kidney disease. It's designed specifically for people at higher risk of kidney problems, and the goal is to see if these changes can slow kidney disease progression and reduce heart disease risk.
This study tests if careful potassium management can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) safely take higher doses of blood pressure medicines called ACE inhibitors or ARBs, which are known to protect the kidneys. You may be eligible if you have moderate to advanced CKD and are already on a moderate dose of one of these medications.
