I personally have a real thing about taking pharmaceutical drugs if I can find a natural alternative that works for me. I have had a problem with hypertension. Every time I went in for a doctor’s visit the doctor and his nurse practitioner were concerned to say the least. My blood pressure was hovering around 170/100 and none of the alternative therapies I tried would work. I finally got to the point where I, too, was concerned. The last thing I need is to have a heart attack or stroke. However, I was equally concerned about the potential side effects of taking blood pressure drugs.
One day a few months ago while doing some research I came across an article where an integrative doctor mentioned taking Bonita Fish Peptides to help with hypertension. Having never heard of these, I did more research and found a product by Natural Factors for these peptides along with many very positive testimonials so I decided to give this a try before heading into pharma land. Wow, am I glad I did! Within 2 days of taking a combination of two supplements my blood pressure began to drop with no side effects! Now after 2 months my blood pressure is in the high normal range, around 128/72. My doctor and his nurse practitioner are amazed and thrilled to know about these products and the results!
These two products are PeptACE Fish Peptides 500 mg. and Celery Seed Extract 85% 3nB,, both by Natural Factors. I personally take 1 PeptACE 3 times a day and 2 Celery Seed Extract with breakfast and 2 with dinner. IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY ON BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES WITHOUT CHECKING WITH YOUR DOCTOR! Your doctor needs to monitor you closely and gradually reduce your medication while adding in this product. (Make sure that you use these specific products. I have tried other celery seed products with no success.)

I order these products through iherb.com. If you do try these products, I would love to know how they are working for you.
Several months ago I also participated in a clinical trial for a new hypertension supplement by Biotics. I was in the control group so I didn’t experience any benefits but I understand that those people in the other group did show significant improvement. The supplement is not available at this time. I will let you know through this blog when it does become available. I can then set you up with an account with them to order it if you are interested.
