Using fenugreek as a supplement helps lower cholesterol and has benefit for pain. Not many potentially undesirable side-effects at all. One that may or may not be undesirable is that your sweat will smell vaguely like maple syrup if you supplement fairly heavily longterm, it’s a very sweet-smelling herb. It also has some benefit sexually in both genders. Prior to recent years, it was primarily known for and used with the intent to increase lactation in nursing mothers, but has gained a measure of notoriety as a subtle treatment for ED in males with a somewhat corresponding affect among females.

L-Arginine is another, it works by increasing nitric oxide, a vasodilator. It can lower blood pressure, and both of these can inhibit blood clotting somewhat. So, if you’re on any sort of medication to treat high blood pressure, blood thinners such as coumadin, etc. you’d want to speak with your doctor about it before beginning to use them. L-Arginine used alone can potentially lead to outbreaks of any latent viral infection if not paired with L-Lysine, so that’s another consideration. If you’re prone to cold sores or have warts, you might want to think twice even though it’s really pretty good for energy, recovery time from muscular activity, pain, I use both of these.

No, blood thinner except K 2. It makes the Calcium work better, and stops the build up of it in your arteries.

My BP is generally slightly below norm unless the pain level is way up there 8-9 level then it will go over 160/95 in a heart beat.

Will look into the Fenugreek. I used DSMO years ago, left a garlic taste/smell.

Don’t Milk Thistle with out much luck with it. I have to watch any thing that effects that area I have FBD A Typical type.

I think I’ll skip this L-Arginine I don’t need my BP to drop any lower than it is.
