Research indicates that buckwheat may have the ability to act as an ACE inhibitor and may also have the power to act as a vasodilator
A study titled “Latent production of angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitors from buckwheat protein” published in the Journal of Peptide Science reported on the observed ACE inhibiting properties of buckwheat. Man-made ACE Inhibitors are a very popular class of medical drugs (Lisinopril is one example) for treating hypertension. The goal of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors is to keep the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) from initiating a process …
