Lowering Blood Pressure

fatburner2007 · 01-22-2008, 09:14 AM

Been running a blood pressure of around 130/95 recently and heard the following stack might be effective to help lower it before having to go to the doc for the prescription route:

Potassium - 400-500mg split up throughout the day.

Magnesium 500-mg before bed

Calcium-500mg 2 to 3 times a day with meals (but not with magnesium
before bed)

CoQ10 100mg daily

Celery seed extract 150-300mg daily.

Is the Potassium and Celery Seed Extract the most effective part of this stack or does the Magnesium, Calcium, and CoQ10 also play an effective role?

Also, if you were to start this stack today, how long typically would you need to allow before any noticeable change will likely occur?

You might want to take a look at Life Support by Anabolic Innovations. It contains some useful compounds that produce noticeable results in this area. The blend includes Red Yeast Rice, Silymarin (milk thistle extract), NAC, Hawthron Berry, Saw Palmetto, Policosonol, Celery Seed Extract, Nettle Root, and Idebenone. Idebenone has many properties of Co-Q10 ubiquinone and has other cool benefits of its own.

Here is a useful thread:

Life Support

Other compounds that can also help reduce blood pressure include icariin, forskolin, and cocoa polyphenols, to name just those three.

Ginseng is a pretty good adaptogen as well. It normalizes blood pressure. And as a bonus it supports sexual function.

Cycle Support/Life Support would be good for this. There are a few threads where some people stated that this lowered their BP dramatically.

How would Life Support compare to something like the following:

Potassium - 400-500mg split up throughout the day.

Magnesium 500-mg before bed

Calcium-500mg 2 to 3 times a day with meals (but not with magnesium
before bed)

CoQ10 100mg daily

Celery seed extract 150-300mg daily.

why not just take a low does of lisinopril. its a cheap script. it would be cheaper than taking all those supps and at least you would know lisinopril would work where supplements hardly ever produce what they promise.

fish oil, hawthorn berry extract, take time out to relax and lower stress, low sodium intake, stop smoking if you do.

fatburner2007 · 01-22-2008, 11:31 AM

Is lisinopril a typical medicine doctors prescribe to control blood pressure?

I am sure it would work just as good. Might even save you some money depending what you are paying for the CoQ10.

yes, lisinopril is a generic script for bp. i take it, its very cheap and it works. i know allot of people love supplements and want to take them for everything but i personally have no faith in supps. i take a multi, fish oil and zma but can honestly say i have never felt, seen any changes let alone had any changes in blood tests or checking bp

Life Support is just an all around great combination. You probably didn't see any changes in BP, because all you take is (whatever is above). Also, it looks like you put faith into scripts, which is just as bad if not worse really. Not trying to be an ass, just simply stating there are other ways before one starts taking a prescription based med. There are other remedies as well

As far as I know it is just another natty test booster. Most of them are used to treat ED in the first place. Some companies opt for other ingredients though. You could probably say any natty test booster has been used to treat ED or libido issues at some point in time lol.
