I think this pill is really great for overall blood pressure health, its formula is very sound. The biggest problem I see with it is the amount of magnesium and the shortage of amino acids.
The things it promises:
Maintain healthy blood pressure
Promote healthy circulation and blood flow
Support proper dilation of the vascular and arterial walls
Enhance the elasticity of the arteries and capillaries
Inhibit the action of ACE, the enzyme that causes blood vessel constriction
Protect LDL cholesterol from free radical oxidation
If I were taking this pill I would couple it with some form of Amino acid so that dilation of the blood vessel would be achieved. On its own the dilation would not be as great, as we saw in the Advanced BP Support made by the same company. What this pill does that other blood pressure pills dont do is it tries to inhibit blood vessel constriction. There are other pills that are better at protection blood oxidation.
Ingredients:
Magnesium (as oxide) | 250 mg |
Benolea®‡ Olive Extract (leaf) | 500 mg |
Stevia Extract (leaf) | 420 mg |
MegaNatural®♦-BP Grapeseed Extract | 75 mg |
Price: $39.99 Expensive but it is great. I have seen much higher. The quality of the ingredients are very good from this company so they are worth it, and I really like Dr. Whitaker.
Overall score: -------------- 80 --------------
What I don't like about this pill is that your suposed to take only 3 pills a day which would lower the magnesium to only 750mg a day vs 1000mg.
