Beta-blockers
medication Under reviewBeta-blockers are a class of prescription medications, not a dietary supplement. They work by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, which reduces the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline on the heart and blood vessels. This typically slows heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the heart’s workload.
Research summary
In healthy human studies, beta-blockers have been shown to blunt physiological stress responses and alter some aspects of decision-making, including information gathering and loss discrimination. Experimental work also shows reductions in heart rate and sympathetic reactivity during stress tasks, while broader cognitive effects appear limited and inconsistent.
