Which supplements can help to lower blood pressure?

Michelin how much CBD do you take?

I have been taking L-Carnitine 1000 -1500 mg daily, which have lowered systolic and diastolic readings by 15 -20 points. I have also added Berberine 1500 mg daily.

Im 85 male .. have high blood pressure for past 24 years that I know. maybe more. Doctors want to put me on prescription med. I said no. Tried it didnt like side effects. Ive tried a lot of things ie. olive oil, L arginine, flax seed, liquid coQ10, liquid Turmeric, cinnamon, curcumin, reservatrol, CBD, green tea, etc. Nothing works. I check it at home and doctors office. Any suggestions??

I think that it helps to try different supplements/foods (of the ones that CL has mentioned above as possibly helping lower BP), to find what's best for you personally. My husband tried using olive leaf extract, hibiscus tea and cinnamon at one time or another over the years, and none of those helped. What seems to have worked for him is olive oil. I make sure to give him at least 2 tablespoons of it with lunch and liberally use it in my cooking and to drizzle over certain foods; even cut fruit and yogurt tastes good with some olive oil in it. His blood pressure is now in the normal low end of the range.

My husband has been taking Hawthorne in place of Lisinopril for over 3 years with excellent results. I got the approval of his doctor before we made this change.

I have been taking a small amount of CBD for anxiety (it works) and to my surprise it normalise my blood pressure from 145am/90pm to 127am/105pm. Amazing side effect,
no drug can do that.

Having tried just about all the above suggestions - the ones I can pronounce and easily spell - over the past few decades, I was very happy to finally find what worked for me - big time. Vitamin C, when taken in large amounts dropped my blood pressure from 132/80 to 110/70 virtually overnight. Using 2500-5000 mg per day mixed into my drinking water kept my bp down, forgetting to mix and all it took was a couple of days for it to quickly return to 130/80. Note the decrease in the spread of 10 points, also a significant/healthy change.

Warning: Taking high amounts of C didn't change my number of daily BMs but it certainly changed the consistency, ie, bowel intolerance - get to know your number before getting too far from a toilet.

My personal experience with olive leaf is that it lowers blood pressure as stated in the article. Normally when I go in for a check-up, it's right around 120/80. Last summer at my regular check-up I had been taking olive leaf for a couple of weeks, and my blood pressure registered 101/58.

Like other supplements, the actual level olive leaf extract in the olive leaf capsule can be different from the percentage stated on the label. Good brands I have used are Olympian Labs and Natural Factors. Consumer Labs reviews would show others as well. Before using be aware olive leaf usually cleans out your digestive system the first couple of days of use.

Rutin works. Lowered my BP by 7-10 points.

HTN is poorly understood. HTN is just a symptom and there are many causes. Meaning specific supplements only work on specific causes. The real question is how do I identify what is causing my HTN so I can correct it?

why not eat a whole food plant based diet, with no flesh. the body makes its own cholesterol. it doesn't need any from animals. that way a body would get all those vitamins and minerals and phytochemicals without taking any pills. what do you think?

Good morning, I would say you’re missing one of the most important supplements to take for high blood pressure. There are at least a dozen studies on Co Q10 lowering blood pressure. It’s very safe, very cheap nowadays, and very effective.

I read on WebMD

https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-938-COENZYME%20Q-10.aspx?activeIngredientId=938&activeIngredientName=COENZYME%20Q-10

"For high blood pressure: 120-200 mg per day divided into 2 doses."

I would be very interested in your thoughts on this since I am taking 100 mg twice a day to help with my high blood pressure and offset any adverse effects of the low dose Lipitor (5 mg/day) I am also taking. Thank you. I consider Consumer Lab a reliable source of information on the web.

My husband was taking Lisinopril for BP issues, and we were uncomfortable with the potential side effects. After checking it with his doctor (GP) I discontinued it and put him on Hawthorne Extract - Total of 2500 mg. divided into the 3 meals. It took a few weeks to stabilize, but for over a year and half now his BP reading is usually around 128/62.

There are at least 6 studies showing co-enzyme Q 10 in doses of 300 and 350 mg/day lower synstolic and diastolic BP. I am surprised you didn't mention this important supplement for BP control. I am a registered and lic. ensed dietitian and nutritionist and use co Q 10 often with patients.

I have read that olive leaf supplement can lower blood pressure. Is there any research done on that? Thanks.

How about hibiscus tea? I've read it can be helpful!

What about the use of natural reserpine that is found in the supplement Carditone?
It seems to work well for many people and used to be a prescription drug.

I was wondering what amounts to take the supplements. You do not mention how much to take to achieve the goal of reducing blood pressure.

I did not find anything on celery seed. I heard that it has been very successful for lowering high blood pressure. Thank you.
