No2 to lower blood pressure ?

[fryzway]

Ya after seeing my 13.9 hemo reading I thought about adding my daily Vit with Iron back in. Used a DV w/out Iron while my Hct/Hgb were elevated.

I'm currently on a low dose of Bystolic (Beta Blocker) @ 5mg daily. Is it safe to add garlic supplementation?

Looks to be a minor drug interaction Drug Interactions Checker Results - Drugs.com

May be worthy to note if you may take something such as Cialis along with your BP med and garlic supplement your BP may suddenly drop placing you hypotensive.

Beetroot juice is not that bad once you get used to it. Infact when it is very cold I quite enjoy it

I find this interesting bc it took me about 30 seconds to google beet root juice and this is what I found. "This effect is attributed to the high nitrate content of the beetroot, a chemical that when ingested becomes nitric oxide which increases blood flow and keeps our blood pressure (BP) low"

Beet root is probably just easily converted to nitric oxide, but no matter how much you eat you wont change you NO2 levels by much

You could make it into a bread and have a 24 hour effect on BP Blood pressure-lowering effects of beetroot juice ... [Br J Nutr. 2012] - PubMed - NCBI

Seems like a lot of work... but hey if your into baking.... not me

 

[fryzway]

I have no baking skills whatsoever !

You may be right, but considering how commonly nitrates are prescribed for angina because their metabolite (NO) is effective as a vasodilator I think it's plausible to think it could work. I'm guessing but I agree with you about not significantly changing levels because I think the effect (increased NO) is likely short lived.

 

[Fudd]

Maybe some one could take their BP, eat some beet root and monitor their BP for an hour or so. Several people would be best

Beet Juice and Viagra

I have viagra only, not cialis.

What would a daily dose of Viagra- that be quivalent to EOD of 5mg cialis? 20-50mg Viagra Daily?

And how many times a day would 70ml of Beet Juice need to be taken?

Currently Using Garlic and Hawthorne Berry. I used to be up around 135 over 90. Now 125-130 over 85. Want to get to 120 over 80.

Viagra is a poor choice for longer term BP control IMHO due to its significantly shorter half life.

Liver tabs will increase your hemi iron drastically. I know a good brand. Argentine beef liver 4x concentrate.

Thanks again Stewie. I didn't find any conflicts btwn my meds and the "juice". I do have sleep apnea. I use a Cpap nightly. My hemoglobin stays under control by reg blood donation and keeping my Trt to 140mg/wk. Last blood donation for RedCross the hemoglobin check they did showed me @ 13.9 Pre-Donation, which is the lowest it's ever been.

When u say your hemoglobin was high what was it and how did u get it down to 13.9

 

[fryzway]

My Hemo reached almost 18 @ it's highest. At that point I started donating Blood every 8 weeks. I switched to a DailyVitamin with NO Iron. I dropped my Test Cyp from 200mg/wk to 140mg/wk and I run high anabolics when blasting but stay away from EQ, Anadrol etc. That's what worked for me.

My bp is measuring a steady 135-140/80 now. Sometimes Diastolic gets to 90. Looks like the No2 is helping some. I haven't been sleeping very well bc of the Tren and doc says lack of sleep can elevate bp so he gave me Ambian to try and help me sleep while on.
