blood pressure

I want to add methylene blue to my daily stack, currently at about 300 mcg. It is bearable right now, but I think the nitric oxide lowering effects are increasing my blood pressure. -I want to up the dose, but scared of too high BP then. -I also want to up the dose, but everything above 400 mcg...

An older study, but some great information in there. Not only does it call attention to the fallacy of progesterone being nothing more than a "sex" hormone, but it also warns about the fallacy of equating the synthetic progestins with bioidentical progesterone. At least, when it comes to...

Dairy-rich diet linked to lower risks of diabetes and high blood pressure And cluster of factors that increase heart disease and stroke risk (metabolic syndrome) Eating at least two daily servings of dairy is linked to lower risks of diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as the cluster of...

As many readers already know, synthetic estrogens and progestins currently dominate the market for female reproductive health. These chemicals are in everything from birth control pills, to drugs for "treating" endometriosis, to drugs for menopausal symptoms, to treating neurodegenerative...

This is a human study, so the findings are that much more relevant even though they probably do not come as a surprise to users of this forum. The duration of the study was just 6 weeks and the dose was 500mg nicotinamide riboside (NR) twice a day (for a total of 1,000mg). There were no side...

I think the "war on obesity" we are seeing currently, while well-intentioned, may be a bit misplaced as obesity itself has now been tied to low socioeconomic status. This study has now found that that low status is more important for your overall life expectancy than how much you weigh. Given...

The study used both rodent model but the scientists are confident the results fully apply to humans. The rodent model was used to test niacinaide as an actual treatment for pre-eclampsia, not as prevention. The next step is to conduct a human-only trial with niacinamide as a treatment of the...

Hi everyone. I have had hypotension my entire life. I experimented a few with way too many supplements, and probably the only one that helped me was Maca root, and only temporarily (initial period of taking it - a few weeks maybe). It did not have that effect on me since. Anyone can share...

This happened yesterday, as well as today: After taking 1 mg MB yesterday and 500 mcg MB today, I've experienced a marked increase in blood pressure verified by my blood pressure monitor. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be caused by nitric oxide inhibition?

This is yet another "counterintuitive" study given the commonly recited dogma by medical professionals that caffeine will increase your blood pressure and in the long run contribute to CVD risk. As you can see, long term caffeine intake actually lowers systolic blood pressure, especially in...

There have been many studies with taurine on biomarkers like blood pressure, cholesterol, seizures, electrolyte imbalance, etc. However, the human studies with it a few and most of them did not do a double-blind placebo controlled setup. This study was double blind and placebo controlled and...

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16444815 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Glycine, a non-essential amino acid, has been found to protect against oxidative stress in several pathological situations, and it is required for the biosynthesis of structural proteins such as elastin. As hypertension is a...

I know this is just a single case study but it seems to confirm Peat's recommendations to take vitamin K2 to lower blood pressure. The dosage used was sort of low (100 micrograms), which tells me it was probably MK-7 that was used and not MK-4. Either way, something to keep in mind for people...

Ray has written that the major factor determining blood pressure is calcium homeostasis. He has also frequently said that 15mg of vitamin K2 (MK-4) should be able to normalize the blood pressure in about a week. So, it is natural that other agents participating in the proper metabolism of...

The new blood pressure advice says that up to 150 over 90 is now considered OK for people over 60, more in line than past conventional wisdom with what Ray Peat said about blood pressure and hypertension on a radio show I heard. How To Make Sense Of Confusing, New Blood Pressure Advice by...
