Why did we choose not to use hawthorn, cayenne, garlic, potassium, red yeast rice, guggul or vitamin K2 “MK-7”?
Many of our competitors use natural ingredients that may be effective in lowering your blood pressure or your cholesterol, but they do not tell you any of the cautions that go along with these ingredients. We as a company have chosen not to use these specific ingredients because either the risk to you may be too great or they don’t mix into water. Hawthorn – While hawthorn is very powerful and generally considered safe to use, there are also some strong precautions that need to be considered. In short, if you are taking hypertensives, beta blockers, ace inhibitors, nitroglycerine, sildenafil citrate (Viagra and others like it) you will need to adjust these medications, sometimes drastically. Unfortunately, most people who go to their doctor to make these adjustments find that their doctors are ignorant about drug/herb interactions and will not know what to do. Since a large percentage of our customers are already on medications, we consider it best to allow them to buy hawthorn separat
