PressurEase

Systemic hypertension (high blood pressure) affects more than 50 million adults in the United States. Worldwide, it's one of the most common risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Prescription drugs often prescribed for blood pressure have unwanted side effects. Some beta-blockers and thiazide diuretics even raise cholesterol levels thereby trading one condition for another. Natural health practioners are often asked if there are dietary supplements or nutritional therapies that can lower blood pressure naturally without producing unwanted side effects. Research studies conducted over the last 15 years support a low fat and low sodium diet, nutritional supplementation and exercise as effective ways to lower blood pressure.

A Balanced Supplementation Approach:

While many individual nutrients have been shown to help maintain normal blood pressure levels a balanced combination of highly specific nutrients is generally the most effective approach.

Active Peptides: Peptides that are naturally derived from milk’s protein – casein. Active Peptide reduces both systolic and diastolic blood pressure by inhibiting the body’s Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) the key enzyme in the regulation of blood pressure. Active Peptides are safe effective and with no reported side effects.

Celery Seed Extract: Celery seed has been used for centuries for various ailments including gout by lowering uric acid levels, inflammation and anxiety. It has also been shown to be a natural diuretic and high in calcium, which aids in blood pressure reduction.

Hawthorn Extract: Hawthorn has been used since the Middle Ages to support the heart and normalize cardiovascular functions. The procyanidins in Hawthorn promote healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels by relaxing blood vessels, increasing metabolism in the heart muscle and improving blood supply to the heart. To ensure sufficient levels of its active properties, the product should contain 100 to 200 mgs Hawthorn standardized for 1.8% vitexin-2-rhamnoside content. Hawthorne is contra-indicated in patients taking Digitalis or Digoxin.

High potency combinations are best. While these nutrients can be purchased separately, the number of tablets needed per day would add to the over consumption of unnecessary inactive ingredients or fillers needed to bind each tablet. Also, buying individual high-potency nutrients is not cost effective.

Importance of maintaining healthy blood pressure levels: Heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States. Elevated blood pressure levels are a major contributor. If you are serious about preventing heart disease you might consider a diet low in fat and sodium, exercising, maintaining healthy body weight and adding these powerful nutrients described above in your diet.
