Background: Hypertension is considered the leading cause of preventable mortality worldwide, affecting more than one billion people worldwide. In this context, potassium supplementation has emerged as an approach of interest due to its potential impact on blood pressure regulation. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of oral potassium supplementation on blood pressure variation in adult patients with primary hypertension without current antihypertensive treatment. Methods and Materials: A systematic search of articles was performed in the PubMed, Ovid-Embase, Ovid-Medline and CENTRAL databases; in addition to the reference lists of systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Results: Meta-analysis of 16 trials (n = 694) indicated that potassium supplementation compared to control resulted in statistically significant reductions in SBP (mean difference: -7.62, 95% CI: -12. 0 to -3.23; P=0,0007) and DBP (mean difference: -4.56, 95% CI: -7.47 to -1.64; P = 0,002). Conclusion: Potassium supplementation suggests a benefit on systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Due to the heterogeneity between trials, more high-quality and longer RCTs are needed for more precise statistical analysis.
