High blood pressure
According to data gathered as part of the Framingham Heart Study, people who have high blood pressure are at significantly increased risk of developing dangerous conditions related to high blood pressure. In this study, for every 10 mm Hg increase in systolic pressure, there was a doubling of the risk of having a heart attack or stroke or of having kidney failure (Kannel WB 2003; Klag MJ et al 2003; Wolf PA 2003).
Nutrients that may help lower blood pressure include:
C12 casein peptide—200 to 400 milligrams (mg)/day
Grape seed extract—150 to 300 mg/day
Pomegranate extract—50 to 100 mg/day
Arjuna bark extract—250 to 500 mg twice a day
Calcium—1200 to 1500 mg/day
CoQ10—100 to 300 mg/day
Garlic—1200 mg/day
Hawthorn berry extract—240 mg twice a day between meals
L-arginine—2000 mg three times a day between meals
Magnesium—500 mg/day (or more), based on maximum bowel tolerance and hypotensive effect; take the most at night before bed
Olive leaf extract—500 mg/day
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—1400 mg/day of EPA and 1000 mg/day of DHA
Potassium—99 mg/day (or more) when instructed to do so by a health care professional, based on blood test results
Soy protein—17 to 34 grams (g)/day
Taurine—1000 to 6000 mg/day
Vitamin C—1 to 3 g/day
Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol succinate)—400 International Units (IU)/day with about 200 mg of gamma-tocopherol
