These Substances may Reduce Excessive Aldosterone Levels
Lipids
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) may inhibit the production of Aldosterone.
Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) may inhibit the production of Aldosterone.Pharmaceutical Drugs
Spironolactone (utilized in the treatment of Aldosteronism) may compete with Aldosterone for occupancy of Mineralocorticoid Receptors (i.e. it functions as an Aldosterone Antagonist).
Vitamins
Vitamin B6 (600 mg per day) may normalize elevated Aldosterone production.
Human Aldosterone Levels
Normal, healthy humans secrete between 100 mg and 200 mg of Aldosterone per day.
The laboratory reference range values for Aldosterone are:- 3 - 10 ng per dL serum (supine (laying down with face upwards) males and females).
- 0.08 - 0.3 nmol/L serum (supine (laying down with face upwards) males and females).
- 6 - 22 ng per dL serum (male, standing).
- 0.17 - 0.61 serum (male, standing).
- 5 - 30 ng per dL serum (female, standing).
- 0.14 - 0.8 nmol/L serum (female, standing).
- Male plasma levels of Aldosterone are normally 0.007 micrograms per dl.
