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.
