I don't take any certain vitamins to combat hbp. I've never done research to see if there were certain vitamins or minerals tht help combat it. I do take a daily multivitamin called Rainbow Light Certified Organics Multivitamin for men. Which is made with organic fruits and vegies. All natural vitamins, nothing synthetic.
