haha thx bean and esphxy, yes it was 1 reading but that being said i plan to hit a pharmacy on the way to work and check it again, it was about 30-40min after a workout so that probably had a lot to do with it. just kinda freaked me out for a sec lol

Hawthorn berry, fish/krill oil, grape seed extract will all help keep your BP down.

those supplements are good, consider throwing in CoQ10 as well, cant heart to have multiple avenues. great thread you guys.

If you are using the BP machine like at a supermarket I would ignore those. I did the same thing and my reading came back at like 175/110. It freaked me out and I looked down and it says for arms of circumferences of 13" or smaller. I'm not a huge guy but my arms are bigger than the average guy and that thing about cuts my blood off. I got my BP tested at the doc and it came back at 130/80 and this was within a week so I know I was getting a bad reading on that machine. I read you can buy the BP machine with a thigh cuff and that reads better for bigger arms.

all good advice above.

also the use of AAS can increase ur BP. I tend towards my RBC increasing when I use (which is all the time) so I give blood (double RBC's) every 4 months which help alot.

We should all just date nurses....LOL!!!! I don't trust those pharmacy machines, I've had 3 different readings at the same time..... I have 18" Biceps so My arm bearly fits anyway. I like the handheld monitor.

Appreciate the feedback bro.....But don't leave us hanging, what sups do you recommend for lowering BP?

As BL said Hawthorne Berry.... It takes a couple weeks to build up in your system so also add in celery seed extract. It starts working immediately and you can run it along side the Hawthorne Berry for maximum effects.
