BP Essentials

Healthy Directions and Dr. Whitaker makes this supplement called BP Essentials. Now you may have High blood pressure and you are looking for a way to fix that. I recommend taking the information about these pills to your doctor and seeing which one your doctor thinks is best.

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 Extract75 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.

Advanced BP Support

Healthy Directions and Dr. Sinatra makes this supplement called Advanced BP Support.  Now you may have High blood pressure and you are looking for a way to fix that. I recommend taking the information about these pills to your doctor and seeing which one your doctor thinks is best.

I have tried 3 different kinds of these blood pressure pills. I think this is one of the best in the market. The only draw back are that you have to take 4 pills and the amount of magnesium is low.


The things it promises:
Healthy blood pressure
Proper relaxation and dilation of vascular and arterial walls
Healthy circulation and blood flow
Normal sodium excretion and proper water balance
Blood vessel strength and elasticity
Antioxidant protection against free-radical damage to blood vessels
Healthy stress response with reduced cortisol levels

The magnesium should help with healthy blood pressure, circulation, blood vessel strength. The amino acids should help with circulation and dilation of blood vessels. the pills should lower your blood pressure or regulate it. Im not so sure about the stress response and cortisol levels. That is something you should check with your doctor. Make sure you take these pills as directed and after meals.

Ingredients:
Magnesium (as glycinate, citrate, malate)250 mg
Hawthorn Extract (leaf and flower)600 mg
MegaNatural®-BP‡ Grapeseed Extract150 mg
Gamma Amino Butyric Acid♦50 mg

Price: $34.99 kind of expensive but not so bad. I have seen much much higher. The quality of the ingredients are very good from this company so they are worth it.

Overall score: -------------- 86 --------------


The Magnesium content is not that high. I have noticed taking straight magnesium helps a lot more then when it is mixed down or in lower amounts. I like that they make sure to make the pill allergy free.

Super C22

Dr. Newtons makes this supplement called Super C22. The philosophy is that in larger animals they create C in there body. The amount a tiger uses of vitamin C a day is Huge. For you to take the equivalent of what large animals your size is like 5-8times a regular daily dose.
In many male enhancement drugs that focus on volume have an extreme amount of vitamin C.

I have been taking Super C for a long time now what i have experienced is a huge difference when  i wake up in the morning. I feel alive and awake.

The things it promises:
infuses you with energy, alleviates pain, lowers blood pressure, slows the aging process, helps you sleep more soundly and even shields against heart disease and stroke.

I would agree with most of that.

Price: Is very High at $38.45 a bottle. But the overall benefits are worth it in my opinion.

Overall score: -------------- 78 --------------

Vitamin C & L-Lysine

Onnit Labs makes Vitamin C & L-Lysine. There are tons of other places to buy these vitamins. You can get these vitamins for cheaper at other places. As you know from taking pills many capsules contain Cancer causing. These cancer causing ingredients are the things that hold the pill together. Some Pills are also known to contain saw dust and all sorts of fillers that are dangerous to your health. Onnit Labs Pills seem to not have any of those ingredients. When i broke one open and looked at it under a microscope It seemed as though it was only real ingredients though it is hard to say.

The reasons to buy Onnit Labs:
True Ingredients:
When you buy a lot of supplements like i do you look for cheaper was to get the same thing. I have personally bought well over 100 different versions of Vitamin C and all sort of cheap tactics to sell you a lie. I bought these pills from china and they did have Vitamin C but the quality was so low I might as well not have taken anything at all. Even Big name stores will sell you giant bottles with tons of capsules but the quality is low or the filler is bad. With Onnit Labs they have extremely high quality ingredients and very high potency.

Price: Onnit's Price is a bit high compared to Costco, or some of the major sellers. At $8.95 a bottle it is not great but not bad.

Overall score: -------------- 85 --------------

The Main reason I buy Onnits verse other versions is it has 3 different versions of C and it also has L-Lysine. Which you dont usually find in an everyday version of C.
Personally I take Super C22 from Doctor Newton, but i also take Onnits C & L-Lysine.
