I just found this information from www.feedyourgenesright.com in the Nutrition Reporter Newsletter. My husband has high blood pressure and I am going out to buy him garlic tablets and Vit C. Hopefully, this will do the trick!!

“Garlic supplements lower blood pressure American researchers investigated the ability of garlic and other supplements to lower blood pres- sure. They focused on 25 young to middle-age subjects, six of whom had marginally elevated blood pressure. A combination of garlic tablets (2,500 mg) and vitamin C (2,000 mg) daily for 10 days normalized blood pressure in the six subjects with hypertension. Garlic alone reduced systolic blood pressure, while vitamin C alone had no effect. In addition, the combination of garlic and vitamin C increased nitric oxide production more than two-fold above the control subjects. Nitric oxide is the principal regulator of blood vessel tone.”Technorati Tags: high blood pressure, garlic tablets, vitamin C, hypertension
