QUICKLY LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE: Supplements To Lower Blood Pressure

Research has shown that Potassium lowers blood pressure. Calcium and Magnesium are widely thought to be equally beneficial but results have been inconsistent and thus the evidence is inconclusive at this time. If you have a healthy diet, you should get enough potassium, calcium and magnesium fro food, but if not they can be bought as supplements. Fruits (such as bananas, oranges, cantaloupe, and dried apricots), vegetables (such as potatoes, spinach, brussel sprouts and tomatoes), dairy foods and fish are all good sources of potassium. Calcium is found in dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, and cheese. Make sure to opt for low fat varieties. Low fat dairy products actually have higher calcium content than the high fat versions. Magnesium rich foods are green leafy vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and dry peas and beans.

Arginine is an Amino Acid that is a building block for Nitric Oxide. In other words it helps the lining of the arteries produce Nitric Oxide (NO). NO reduces pressure and increases the amount of flow through the heart, hence lower blood pressure readings. Arginine needs to be taken as a sustained release tablet, as it stops working if it is not in the blood stream.
