Chelated Magnesium

Studies show that 85 percent of Americans are deficient in magnesium. This is probably a result of the nations farmland being slowly depleted of magnesium. Therefore our food has slightly less
than in the past coupled with the fact that we don't eat the array of natural foods that were eaten in the past. Magnesium has a huge part to play in the  functioning of our body. Something like 300 enzymatic reactions are tied  to magnesium. Research has not proven exactly how magnesium works
with blood pressure, but where they find high magnesium levels there is lower blood pressure and someone with lower levels tends to have higher blood pressure. Other studies say magnesium supplements do no good, we get all we need from food. But whatever, I chose to take a magnesium supplement for blood pressure, and I cannot say exactly what did the trick, but my blood pressure has improved considerably with magnesium in my list of supplements.It can't hurt you and might do some good.

Grapeseed Extract

Everyone has heard that a glass of red wine is good for you, but do you know why?
The answer is that the dark colored grape contains a powerful antioxidant called
resveratrol. This helps in many ways including but not limited to improving blood pressure
It does this by helping make the blood vessels soft and pliable versus hard and stiff. Ever hear of hardening of the arteries? This makes it much easier for the heart to pump blood thus lowering blood pressure. But to get enough resveratrol to do the max good, you would have to drink 10 to 20 glasses of wine daily. This may be ok in some instances, but a much easier way would be to take a couple of
capsules of Grapeseed Extract. That is what L did, along with some other supplements and have been able to cut back on some of my prescription meds and keep my blood pressure under control.
Below there is a video of Dr. Becker talking about Grapeseed Extract.

 

Hawthorn Berries

I lowered my blood pressure with the help of several natural supplements
 including one not heard of by many people. It is called Hawthorn Berry. Hawthorn
is a small bush resembling a rose bush with small red berries. Actually all parts
of the bush are useful as a supplement lncluding leaves, flowers and berries.
As a supplement it helps to dialate blood vessels making it easier to pump blood,
thus making less workload on the heart. It also is a great antioxidant which helps
keep the blood vessels pliable. Of course you should always consult with your doctor
bedore taking any supplement.

Olive Leaf Extract

For all those who would like to control blood pressure without prescription meds, try the natural alternative.  With olive leaf extract, I have been able to completely eliminate one prescription med & cut down on another. Olive leaf extract has other benefits as well.(see link below)

First Post

This is my first post on this blog.  I just want to say I am not selling or
 endorsing any product. This is simply a blog relating my own experiences.
 It is not to be taken as anything else. I had a stroke caused by high blood
pressure and maybe some of my experiences can help others.
