    best supplements for blood pressure?

    i dont think so, the best results i had were on acv and hawthorn (they got better with the addition of acv, actually). heres my problem... my cuff is a bit small to use when sitting (when i have to bend my arm) so i've been taking my BP lying in bed with my arm propped up a little on a pillow...

    Heart Health discussion

    in a previous post, you recommended olive leaf extract at 500mg 2 x a day to help lower blood pressure.. my question is.. i bought the NOW brand thats 6% oleuropein, but just read that i need to be taking something thats 20% at 1g a day. should i just take 1g daily of the 6% NOW brand, or should...

    best supplements for blood pressure?

    oh, and i had Easter break last weekend and went crazy. binge drinking 3/4 days which is out of character for me, but i still don't see how that would have an effect on my BP 3 days later. on another note... cardio hasnt seemed to help too much. my stamina has gone up over the past 6-8 weeks...

    best supplements for blood pressure?

    so my bp has gone up again for no apparent reason (well, HUGE paper coming up, finals, bday(not a bday guy) and just general anxiety/stress) and ive decided to give it a try. ive decided not to do olive leaf extract WITH bonito peptides because, from what i understand, they both act as ace...

    best supplements for blood pressure?

    had a good run towards the end with hawthorn berry, the last 4 of the 8 weeks were good. right now im just doing harder cardio and havent tried the olive leaf yet, although i am taking bragg's raw apple cider vinegar which i added towards the end of my hawthorn 'cycle' which i really think gave...

    any REAL vasodilator supps?

    oh yeah, im definitely gonna give it a shot. right now im experimenting with hawthorn berry and celery seed extract (among other things that are believed to have a more mild effect such as fish oil, magnesium, etc).... but i plan on buying agmatine and arginine to throw in with taurine and olive...

    any REAL vasodilator supps?

    yeah, but im trying to avoid sodium as much as possible. i love pumps, but i guess my main question had more to do with me trying to test my theory that i can help lower my BP by using a true vasodilator... with that said, i try to stay away from sodium as much as possible (which is hard since...

    any REAL vasodilator supps?

    i guess just going the hemavol route would be my best bet to cover all bases.... however, it says not to use more than 4 times a week, am i wrong in assuming i may miss my 2nd target goal of lower bp (through vasodilation) as i would probably need something that i can take everyday? i just...

    any REAL vasodilator supps?

    out of curiosity, how do you dose your arginine? i know you said 20g, but do you do 2 servings of 10, 4 of 5, etc? thanks!

    any REAL vasodilator supps?

    i really appreciate all the help guys. ive honestly never looked into agmatine nor really knew what it was before you guys mentioned it. also, i remember hearing some stuff about 'dangers' of nitrates in creatine and stuff but, again, didnt do my own research until now. im thinking i may give...

    any REAL vasodilator supps?

    yeah, honestly, i never noticed an increase in blood pressure while on PWO's. my BP has always been borderline, so everytime id start a new pwo id check it every couple weeks and never had a problem. i guess i just assumed i should stay away from them because of a possible spike right after...

    any REAL vasodilator supps?

    as stubborn as my BP has been recently (no significant change despite starting a cardio regimen again about a month ago, damn near cutting out sodium altogether, plus the hawthorn berry and celery seed for the past few weeks), i feel like i need a BP reducing ****tail haha. im thinking olive...

    any REAL vasodilator supps?

    thanks for the suggestions, i think i need to get some agmatine flex - ill look into perform as well.... after 2.5 weeks of celery seed and hawthorn berry, ive seen no change in BP (it actually read a few points higher today than the day i started) with the exception of 1 weird day where it was...

    any REAL vasodilator supps?

    with everything ive heard about arginine pretty much being a scam over the past few years, im wondering if there are any supplements out there that actually DO help with vasodilation. ive heard of a few, but nothing that people really report much on. this is kind of a two-fold question as i...

    Introducing Krill-TS...better than fish oil!!

    sorry, i know this is an old thread... but i was researching krill oil and it piqued my interest. has anyone noticed a positive effect on blood pressure while taking krill oil? I always take fish oil, but its never done anything for me BP-wise, but ive heard a few promising things about...

    best supplements for blood pressure?

    best supplements for blood pressure?

    let us know how it goes. ive been hearing a lot about bonito peptides, which apparently act as kind of an ace inhibiter. peptace is on backorder at bb.com and nutraplanet doesnt carry any bonito peptides, but id like to give them a shot just to see how it goes. i was just so amazed at how fast...

    best supplements for blood pressure?

    i guess i shouldnt have emphasized been on ONLY celery seed, as im still on the hawthorn berry and bpf stuff... what i meant was i added the celery seed extract ONLY 5 days ago
