May 19, 2006, Newsletter Issue #150: Beating High Blood Pressure

Tip of the Week

Some of the best treatments for hypertension are garlic & Coenzyme Q 10. Typical doses for garlic are 900 mg daily of a garlic powder extract standardized to contain 1.3 % alliin (which is about 12,000 mcg of alliin). Doses of Coenzyme Q 10 are 30 to 100 mg 3 times a day. Make sure you get at least 750 to 1,000 mg daily of calcium and 350 mg of magnesium. The herb Hawthorn can also help. Remember, Garlic acts as a blood thinner, so DO NOT mix with other blood thinners like Coumadin (warfarin) or Trental - or ginko or high doses of vitamin E. Avoid supplemental calcium & magnesium if you have kidney or heart disease, cancer or a history of kidney stones
