RPM % Hypertension
AppNut,

I have 1.5 bottles of RPM sitting on my shelf but I'm uneasy about taking it as I have hypertension. I know the Icariin is supposed to be good for blood pressure, but the caffeine worries me a little. You guys think RPM would be ok to take, maybe at 1/2 dosage.

I truly think you'll be fine. BP shouldn't raise much if at all. Heart rate, possibly.

Heart rate definitely can. I've taken RPM several times without incident, then one lovely leg day I got the worst rapid heartbeat of my life. Seriously, thought I was going down, for good. I don't really think I was in any danger though, just scary more than anything.

If you have hypertension you already know not to take sh!t with stims in it bro!! This supp is a pre-workout stim, alot stronger than just caffeine, I would steer clear if I was you.

Sorry man, but the icariin will have a neglegible effect in such a formula. Good news though there are several pre-workout supps/drinks out there now that are stim free, so check some of those out!! Good luck bro.....

Blue you shouldn't have any probs selling or trading your RPM. I had the same problem as you and I got rid of mine within days.. Didn't really even try. Was nice .

I would definitely err on the side of caution and play it safe. I think it would be more beneficial for you to get an alternative such as DRIVE. Although DRIVE is really meant to be stacked with RPM, DRIVE by itself is a great product. Actually I would think it would benefit you even more at your age. Just my two cents bud!

Cheers!

Thanks Sam, just came off Drive about a month ago. I really can tell a difference in libido as it's took a sharp decline since finishing the bottle.

Hey Blue, I am about to order a couple bottles of drive, what was your impression of drive, good or bad. I have hypertension and only take one or two RPN at a time to avoid the overly hyped feeling and rise in BP......

I loved drive, gave me a nice energy boost and increased libido. It also helped me retain muscle/strength while cutting.

Lucky man! One bottle would last you years! Some of us take six to seven capsules in two doses. Daily!
