Hypertension is the “silent” killer.

If you have high blood pressure it needs to be addressed immediately. If left untreated it will ruin the quality of your life(kidney failure, heart failure) and eventually end your life.

WHATEVER it takes: Diet, Exercise, Pharmaceuticals, Natural Supplements, etc. - DO IT NOW and lower your blood pressure if it is high.

I’ve taken diovan for 10 years. I’m off it now. Why?

My blood pressure was 155/105 when it was prescribed. With diet (intermittent fasting with a keto-ish food selection), a Vitamin K supplement (500 micrograms/day - about what one gets from a serving of spinach, except I hate spinach) and restricting my caffeine intake to 6AM-Noon, my blood pressure is now 120/80. Without medication. Sometimes dropping a little below that.

I have no complaints about diovan. I didn’t experience side effects and it reduced my blood pressure down to 135/90. But diet changes have brought it lower than diovan did.

Note: “There have been no adverse effects of vitamin K seen with the levels found in food or supplements. However, this does not rule out danger with high dose. Researchers have not set a maximum safe dose.”

I doubt supplementing to a dose found in a serving of cooked spinach will prove harmful.
