Celery seed extract is a concentrated preparation from celery seeds, which contain plant compounds thought to help blood vessels relax. The strongest evidence is for blood pressure, where a review of randomized trials found small but consistent reductions, and the evidence is moderate. Improvements in blood sugar were also small, while findings for LDL and HDL cholesterol were modest and the evidence limited.
