Let me preface this by saying there are no simple magic 1 pill solutions to blood pressure problems, but here is what has worked for me (note that this advice is my wife an RD would support): 1) make sure you are getting enough exercise. Even 30 minute walk a day will help; 2) eat more like our ancestors (plenty of veggies of all kinds, limited starches and sugars, minimal but very lean meat; 3) only whole grain breads and in moderation; 4) reduce or eliminate salt; 5) avoid processed and fried foods; 6) be sure to get enough good quality Omega 3 FAs; 7) Get plenty of soluble and insoluble fiber; drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses a day); 8) evidence suggests Garlic is very helpful if combined with the other things I've listed; 9) watch you portion sizes as most people consume far more calories than they need each day and obesity (even moderate) in most people will be a factor in high blood pressure and other aliments; 10) if you smoke, quit as smoking is a known cause of arterial hardening and resultant high blood pressure.

  I have been using Kyolic 109 along with my blood pressure medicine because my BP was not really as low as it should be. This seems to be helping, my BP is closer to normal on a more regular basis and I am only taking half the dose at this time. Garlic has so many documented benefits, I feel this is a better option for myself than taking more prescription medicine. I have also been taking Alive! Once Daily Women's 50+ Multi's and I noticed a positive difference in my BP with that also. And I can't leave out magnesium. Lots of good info about these products on the Vitamin Shoppe site. Always a good idea to check out the info available to make sure these are right for you.

  I have been taking the Kyolic 109 Formula for several years now and in doing so have been able to control my blood pressure without the need for prescribed medication.My family doctor is amazed and instructed me to keep doing what I am doing. gary w

  I've been taking Kyolic formula 109, for 15 months, and my blood-pressure has dropped...prior average 140/90, to normal and below. I'm also taking magnesium,as well as other natural products, that I researched online.

  I can not say conclusively that this product has lowered my blood pressure, but I do believe it helps. Besides, garlic is a good supplement to take for other reasons as well.

  Take Kyolic 109 as directed on bottle and also Dr. Whitaker's BP Essentials...effective for me.

  Hawthorne berries will help also! Magnesium will help also!

  Thank you Gary. I'm going to give them a try.

  I am not an MD.

  Thanks Richard

  It works for me. I take 1-2/day of formula 109, especially after drinking alcohol, and 4/day of formula 100.

  The garlic alone is very important and the added 'blood pressure' ingredient is known to control blood pressure. Highly reccomended.

  It didn't work for me.

  The great thing about Kyolic is that it does not impart a garlic smell to your body or breath. I've never burped back up the garlic smell or anything. I've used this variety and also the one for immunity boosting. It's an effective supplement. I try to include it daily and have for years.

  KYOLIC's raison d'être is that they manufacture an 'odorless' garlic. So, no worries.

  Kyolic 109 has no taste or smell, and you won't smell like garlic after taking it.

  That has not occurred in my case...each person may have a different experience.

  NO.
