Pressure Aid

Hibiscus (roselle)

Hibiscus is a beautiful flower native to India and Malaysia. But its healing powers far outweigh its beauty.

It’s been used for centuries for its incredible effects on blood sugar, blood pressure, weight, liver health, and cholesterol.

And now science is backing up what the natives have been saying for centuries.

Here are just a small handful of the hundreds of studies showing just how powerful Hibiscus can be for your health…

• In one study participants enjoyed a substantial decrease of 7/3 mmHg in blood pressure after consuming Hibiscus for 6 weeks…⁴
• In another study participants were astonished to watch their blood pressure plummet by 11/12 mmHg... ⁵
• Another group taking Hibiscus for 30 days enjoyed an even bigger decrease of 16.1% in their systolic blood pressure… ⁶
• Yet ANOTHER group taking Hibiscus was able to reduce their blood pressure by 12% in just 30 days…⁷
• And other studies have even shown Hibiscus to be as effective as more traditional solutions but without the dangerous and irritating side effects! ^{8, 9}

Black Garlic Extract

Black garlic extract is a life-changing amino acid found within a specific type of garlic.

Garlic itself is an incredible nutrient. It has thousands of studies showing its ability to support dozens of different areas of your health. It helps so many different areas of your body, it’s basically a multivitamin!

That’s why many blood pressure supplements today use it.

Unfortunately, they’re using the wrong kind.

Because nearly every study done with garlic uses a special kind of garlic known as black garlic.

You make black garlic by taking regular garlic and fermenting it for up to 20 months. This unique process essentially compresses the most beneficial nutrients and compounds while replacing the intense garlic flavor with a more sweet one.

MOST supplements use regular garlic. But the vast majority of garlic-based studies actually use black garlic, not regular garlic. So if you’re supplementing with garlic now and it’s not black garlic, it’s certainly not worth your money.

But when you use black garlic, the results are beyond impressive…

• When participants were supplemented with aged garlic extract in one study, their blood pressure dropped by an average of 16.3/9.3… ¹⁰
• In another study, participants enjoyed a decrease of up to 10.2mmHg over a 12 week period… ¹¹
• Yet another study showed aged garlic was able to significantly reduce blood pressure by about 12 points... ¹²
• And another study found that aged garlic extract was able to perform JUST as well for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels as popular “over the counter” options... ¹³

The best news about black garlic is it does NOT taste like regular garlic. So you can get all the astonishing benefits it provides without having to smell like garlic :)

Hawthorn Extract

Hawthorn berries are tiny fruit trees that have been used medicinally for thousands of years to treat digestive problems, heart issues and blood pressure. ¹⁴

In fact even American doctors have been using Hawthorn since the 1800s to treat circulatory disorders and respiratory illnesses.

They are LOADED with polyphenols (antioxidants) and have been shown to help support dozens of different health conditions. But it shows the most impressive results when it comes to your heart.

• One study found that participants taking Hawthorn for 10 weeks enjoyed a substantial decrease in diastolic blood pressure…¹⁵
• Another study found that taking Hawthorn extract allowed participants to decrease their blood pressure levels by 13mmHg 9 (systolic) and 8mm (diastolic) Hg…¹⁶
• Other studies have also found that Hawthorn extract could help reduce systolic blood pressure levels by 3.6 - 10mmHg and diastolic levels by 2.6 - 7 mmHg… ^{17, 18}

vitamin k2

Vitamin K2 is primarily known for its role in helping maintain strong, healthy bones. But most people don’t realize how crucial it is for cardiovascular health as well.

That’s because calcium needs to travel through your arteries to reach your bones. Over time, tiny fragments of calcium can get “stuck” inside your arteries. In fact, studies have found a direct connection between bone issues and heart issues, quoting…

“Patients who are losing bone from their skeleton are simultaneously producing bone in their arteries.” ¹⁹

That’s certainly something you don’t want to happen.

That’s because vitamin K2 is responsible for shuttling calcium through your arteries and into your bones where it belongs. This process, known as carboxylation, is activated by the matrix GLA protein.

Unfortunately studies show that up to 97% of people may have inactive GLA and therefore vitamin K deficiency. ²⁰

So by keeping your arteries clear of calcium, vitamin K2 helps blood vessels flow easily which keeps blood pressure healthy. ²¹ And of course this keeps your doctor happy when you go in for checkups :)

And as always, there is overwhelming scientific literature showing just how important vitamin K2 is for maintaining healthy blood pressure…

• One study showed a direct correlation between those taking vitamin K2 and a substantially lowered risk of significant artery problems...²²
• In one mind-blowing study, participants taking vitamin K2 daily were found to have 50% lower overall risk for serious coronary artery issues... ²³
• In one massive cohort study of over 16,000 participants, researchers found that for every 10 mcg of vitamin K2 intake, there was a 9% reduced risk of serious cardiovascular issues... ²⁴
• In another study, women who were given vitamin K2 daily for a year showed clear improvements in vascular elasticity along with a significant decrease in body weight and body mass... ²⁵

Olive Leaf Extract

We’ve all heard about the practically bulletproof cardiovascular systems of the Mediterranean region.

In fact, studies show that people following a Mediterranean diet can enjoy up to a 31% decreased risk of heart attack, stroke or death from heart disease ²⁶, massive decreases in LDL (bad) cholesterol ²⁷, and a whopping 52% decreased risk in Type 2 Diabetes ²⁸.

But what most people don’t know is most of these studies compared a “typical” Mediterranean diet to one with extra virgin olive oil or extra nuts. And do you know which one showed substantial improvements above the rest every time?

The olive oil!

Now luckily you don’t need to chug gallons of olive oil every day to get those benefits. Because scientists have discovered how to extract the compound inside of olives, Oleuropein, so you can enjoy the benefits straight from the source itself.

Oleuropein has been shown to specifically target arterial resistance and stiffness by helping modulate calcium channel flow.²⁹

And as always, the science backs it up…

• In one study, olive leaf extract lowered blood pressure by 11.5/4.8 mmHg in just 8 weeks... ³⁰
• In another study, olive leaf extract was compared to a popular over-the-counter solution and found that it produced similar results, without the side effects (notice a trend here?)! ³¹
• In a fascinating study done on twins (because genetic differences can make people respond differently to the same treatment), participants enjoyed up to an 11 point drop in their systolic blood pressure in just 7 short days! This proves that genetics DON’T determine your fate! ³²

CoQ10

CoQ10 is an antioxidant your body produces naturally. Your cells use CoQ10 to protect themselves from damage. It also plays an important role in metabolism.

Unfortunately, levels of CoQ10 naturally decrease as your body ages, and it’s extremely hard to get enough of it from your food.

We added CoQ10 because it helps maintain proper elasticity levels in your blood vessels.

This helps them dilate so blood flows easier. Plus supplementing CoQ10 is the best way to get it.

There are multiple studies showing how effective it truly is…

• One meta-analysis found that people with high blood pressure who supplemented with CoQ10 lowered their blood pressure by as much as 17/10 mmHg… ³³
• Another study of CoQ10 found similar results, with participants shaving off about 16/10 mmHg in blood pressure readings… ³⁴
• Yet another impressive study showed that CoQ10 helped plummet blood pressure by up to 17.8/12 mmHg in just 12 weeks…
