Isabelle, I currently take flaxseed oil, have for over 2 years now, but I think when I run out I'm going to get the fish oil, borage oil, and flaxseed oil combination one and try it since it has the omega 3, 6, and 9.
Mel, I went by the store this evening to pick up some things I was running low on, bananas was one of them, so I thought of what you said about olive leaf and went to see if walmart had it. They did so I picked that up and also got some garlic capsules, I do incorporate garlic into my diet, but maybe it's not enough, so hopefully adding the olive leaf and the garlic will help.
I checked my BP while there, at first it read 144/98 (I was almost in an accident recently and I think since then my BP has raised again). Well I bought the bananas ate one, walked around for a bit, then sat down and rested for a few min, took the BP again and it was 139/91 so a little bit better but not nearly where I was a few weeks ago, grrr. I think I'm going to buy a monitor to use at home soon, I saw some at walmart for around $40, electronic ones.
As far as supplements I take right now, I take:
Flaxseed Oil 1000mg 2 capsules daily
Biotin 5mg 1 capsule daily (mainly for hair, but also read it's good for BP)
Horsetail (natural silica) 500mg 1 capsule twice daily
Maca 500mg 1 capsule twice daily
Kelp 225mcg 1 tablet daily (I started this while on BO but read it's good for health in general and is good for circulation so have continued it since)
Multivitamin once daily
Collagen+C type 1&3 I take 3 tablets daily, it says to take 3 two times per day, but I find taking it once with 3 is sufficient.
I recently started taking UB again a week or so ago, consistently. So I take 1 tablet 3 times per day.
I was taking Extenze for women, one tablet daily, but only have 3 left and want to see how I can manage without it, so not gonna buy more yet.
I am now adding 1 garlic 1000mg capsule daily as well as olive leaf extract 150mg 1 daily.
So we'll see if these help and I'll report back in a couple of weeks on the BP side of things.
