Drop Your Blood Pressure WITHOUT Drugs

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
If you or someone you love suffers from high blood pressure, you know how hard it can be to manage.
And lots of the mainstream drugs can leave you dizzy and nauseous – and even ruin your sex life.
But German researchers may have just found a better way to lower your blood pressure – no drugs required.
You see there’s a specific combination of important nutrients that can drop your blood pressure and even shield you from stroke and heart attack.
And the best part — they’re available at your local pharmacy.
This miracle cure is a specific combination of L-arginine, a powerful amino acid, and B vitamins.
For years, scientists have known B vitamins are good for the heart but were curious to see if L-arginine could help boost their powers.
In the study, older patients already suffering from high blood pressure were split into two groups. Half took B vitamin and L-arginine supplements and half took a placebo for three months.
At the end of the trial, the scientists found something incredible…
Folks taking the B vitamins and L-arginine combo saw a drastic improvement in heart function and a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure — both risk factors for heart attack and stroke.
But the good news doesn’t end there…
After taking a closer look, the scientists found that this miracle combo also significantly decreased levels of homocysteine — a dangerous compound known to cause heart disease.
Experts believe this nutrient combo is so powerful because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
The exact dosage used in the study was 2.4 g L-arginine, 3 mg vitamin B6, 2 micrograms of vitamin B12 and 0.4 mg folic acid.
You can find these supplements at your local pharmacy or through online retailers like puritan.com.
Live well,
