18. I have had the best luck in lowering my blood pressure with natto & olive leaf extract

I already take magnesium/potassium, l’arginine, alpha lipoic acid & occasionally CoQ10 and cats claw for blood pressure but decided to try a blood thinner like natto kinase - and it and olive leaf extract are doing the trick for me after yrs of having borderline blood pressure.

Snake venon lowers blood pressure. The only time I had low blood pressure in my life was when I was bitten by a rattler. It actually thins your blood so well - I had to go for blood draws every few days for a month.

For cholesterol, I’ve had good results with time release niacin. Dropped my cholesterol big time. I try to take one in the morning & one at night - but I take so many vitamins, I sometimes eliminate morning one.
