Red Beet Root Extract for lowering high blood pressure

[Chembody]

Not directed to me. Sometimes their products seem off. Hit or miss. So I've been using other companies. Haven't tried their EAA but just speaking in general.
For instance I have a whole bag of their ashwaghanda that tastes nothing like ashwaghanda. Tastes like cocamine or some coca extract. Very stimmy.
I tried another powder supplier and taste and feel are as expected

Good to know.
Appreciate it bud!

What do you think about Bulksupplements.com EAA?

I’ve used their creatine and it does what it’s supposed to.

I was listing to CBUM on him saying when he adds 20lbs of muscle and his blood pressure goes up he takes Red Beet Root extract to lower high blood pressure.
What dose are they taking for it to really help lower blood pressure when on gear?
Any one have any experience on taking this to combat high blood pressure?

Basing on the Researchers have concluded that one glass of beetroot juice a day is enough to significantly reduce blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. They conducted a placebo-controlled trial with dozens of participants

It acts like a vasodilator of some kind right? Improves pumps? Beets are a nitrate from my understanding.

I got some powder that's been sitting here for a year or two. It's nasty. I haven't really figured out how to measure z or with something to mask that taste. Maybe will try zero cola . Anyone got any drinks it mixes well with?

The 1 pound bag I bought from Piping rock taste like fresh dirt. Lol…not a good flavor. Helps my BP tho…LOL. I mix it with my morning shake. Vanilla or chocolate doesn’t matter. Tastes like dirt and protein shake but at least I slam it so it’s over quickly.

Never worked for me as far as lowering bp..Carditone did work but better off with a prescription med.Linosipril and carvedilol keep me at 115-125.

I have been using beet root powder for several years now. My bp in the past was around 140 over 90. With using beet root powder twice a day for a total of 8 grams my bp is low 120’s over high 70’s low 80’s. The brand I use is power beets. It’s around $25 on Amazon

I’m with Mike on this one

Mixing it with vanilla flavoring would be close to the best flavor , to mix it with.

That’s the flavor I’m using now…call it Dirty Vanilla.

Why not use pharma bp meds and don’t play games with years of your life

Why not use pharma bp meds and don’t play games with years of your life

I stopped playing games about a year ago and been on Lisinopril 10mg ED with 40mg Propranolol 2Xs daily when needed for anxiety/BP spikes.

Most of my issues with high BP come from stress and anxiety so this combo works well.

I still take natural supps to aid in healthy BP. Old habits I guess.

Agreed. If you have high bp, start telmisartan now. It also has several other beneifts besides bp reduction. Not sure why guys will inject grams of steroids, but then try to find over the counter bullshit ways to manage high bp

Not only does your bp issues come from stress and anxiety, but high bp also causes stress and anxiety. It’s called hypertension for a reason

For a real BP issue i would agree. But to lower BP 4-10 points using beet root powder i don't see to many meds that can do that with no side effects. But i can't say i have looked at the sides for lowering BP of a few points with meds. But i haven't seen any negative side effects from taking beet root powder all though i would guess there are individuals that will have some.

is beet root more effective than say l-arginine for this purpose?

Are you able to stay awake dosing the propranolol like that, or are you just dead ass tired when you get home for the day?

Staying on track, there was a thread a few years back that I got the beat powder idea from. I drink mine intra workout and have had no noticeable drop in bp. My amlodopine and metoprolol are for my heart health.

Beet powder is mainly for the pump, I suppose. My Walmart brand “force factor” total beets has a decent taste when diluted with a lot of water.

The Propranolol has no drowsy effect on me at all thankfully.

I used the Force Factor powder but now I use the gummies PWO while I use the Beet Root powder in the morning with my breakfast protein shake.

I recently had the pleasant experience of being admitted to the hospital with a runaway staff infection that I acquired during surgery. When they took my BP, it was 145/99. I typically take Cialis and beet root powder to keep my BP in check and that usually keeps it around 120/ 75. I was there several days I was unable to take either. I’m sure the anxiety of being hooked up to all the IVs etc. wasn’t good for my BP either. After that reading, I had one of my people drop me off a Cialis. 2 hours later when they took my BP it was 125/72. I think the Cialis by itself may be a reasonable option, at least for me, for high BP, but I also get 5 to 10 points reduction on both numbers from consistent beet root powder use. On a sidenote, one of the byproducts of beet root is that my hands and feet are always warm. My entire life I have been a polar bear but in my late 40s I started to notice that my hands and feet were cold more often. That changed from day one with beet root powder. Unfortunately, I should also mention that drinking two or 3 cups of coffee runs my numbers up much higher than I’m comfortable with also. Usually in the high 130’s/ 85 range and 3 to 4hours after drinking the coffee it goes back to normal.

With all the l-arginine i get from all the protein i eat in a day i can't see where taking a few grams would make any real difference. Seems a person would need a real deficiency for some reason to benefit from it. As beet roots have nitrates in them i think they are a better way to go myself to increase nitric oxide.

What lowering BP by 10 points going to help with?
