Modern life challenges your heart. Sitting too much instead of moving
around, eating too much of the tasty but wrong foods…these things
affect your entire circulatory system. The result is your heart, already
the hardest working muscle in your body, must squeeze with even more
force and more pressure to move blood through 60,000 miles of blood
vessels found in the average person. It’s not surprising that
inefficiencies in circulation of blood this far can arise, resulting in
an overworked heart. Thousands of years ago plants were found that
support the proper function of the heart and blood vessels. These plants
are again available to you today!
The Blood Pressure Pill Story
The medicine man recognized from the symptoms that
it was time. Caring for the tribe was hard work, especially with the
stresses arising from the colder than normal winter. He could feel the
effects of the hard work in his breathing and in his heart. Things
weren’t right inside him but as medicine man he knew what to do. A bit
of this, a bit of that, ground together and consumed… He could sense the
slight change in his circulation as he sat quietly in his hut. Hours
later, looking back at how he jumped up and raced to aid a child burned
by a cooking fire, the shortness of breath that had begun accompanying
fast actions was gone. The medicine man knew that until he could get
other parts of his life back in balance those special plants were going
to be a necessary part of his daily routine. That was okay since it’d
also be a reminder of the changes he needed to make in himself.
The human body is complex mixture of chemistry,
physics, and divine spark. As with any intricate system, a fault in one
area can trigger more complications elsewhere. Injury, illness, or
lifestyle can all lead to issues. Luckily, the human body is also
amazingly tough and once the underlying cause is dealt with, the body’s
perfect equilibrium returns. Our heart and circulatory system are a
prime example of the astounding lengths nature goes to when trying to
solve a problem. It is responsible for moving the oxygen, , and
other compounds cells need, removing the waste products the cells
produce, transporting the defensive troops that fight infections, and a
host of other actions that keep us alive. Anything that causes a
struggle in this movement causes trouble in our life. Being so key to
survival, medicine men have been finding helpful plants to support that
crucial system since the dawn of time.
But a change occurred several hundred years ago.
Scientists arrived and decided they could make something better than
what nature provided. From their labs came strange molecules to replace
the plants and mushrooms of the ancestors. There were some amazing
creations…and many that would be considered failures when judged
correctly. During this age of scientific hubris, some of the scientists
rejected the new and devoted their studies to the old, the ancient. The
plants that had once healed the tribe were carefully teased apart,
studying the powers of the individual molecules they contained, studying
the miracles of which they were capable. In this quest for
understanding the components a universal truth was discovered…alone is
weak, together is strong. No one molecule could be found that when used
alone gave the benefit of using the entire leaf, flower, or root.
Ancient wisdom had returned.
- MULTIPLE ACTION: As proven time and again, diversity brings
strength. By harnessing the different properties of several plants, more
complete support of the heart and cleaning of the circulatory system is
obtained.
- HAWTHORN: Known for over 2000 years by Europeans, hawthorn has been
the great-grandfather of Western support of the heart’s normal
functioning.* Among its powers is the natural increase of nitric oxide
in the body which relaxes blood vessels making them more flexible and
less restricted.* Our hawthorn berries are desiccated and powdered at
FDA-registered facilities following GMP standards to insure purity. The
Roman Legion physician Dioscorides was the first to write of using
hawthorns to maintain the circulatory system but usage likely stretches
back to the earliest tribal healers of not just Europe but also Asia and
the American continents. There are many species of hawthorns around the
world, each having the same properties. Their fruit, leaves, and
berries were all used, based on what was available through the seasons,
to increase overall blood flow without needing the heart to pump with
greater force. Hawthorn accomplishes this through multiple mechanisms.
Ingesting it causes nitric oxide concentrations to increase which
relaxes blood vessel, making them more flexible.* Powerful flavonoid and
anthocyanidin antioxidants help prevent cholesterol from adhering to
blood vessel walls as well as reducing oxidative damage to the heart
itself.* Open, relaxed, unclogged vessels reduces the pressure needed by
the heart needs to pump blood.
- ROSELLA: The beautiful-flowered, West African bush Hibiscus
sabdariffa has spread around the globe by people knowledgeable of
nature’s power. Anthocyanins of this plant inhibit oxidation of healthy
LDLs, reducing hardening & clogging of arteries.* This allows easier
blood flow to all parts of your body.* Our rosella are grown in
certified organic fields and carefully harvested to maintain optimal
concentrations of their beneficial phytocompounds. This deep red member
of the mallow family evolved on the central and west African plains,
quickly moving into India. Like most mallows, many parts of this tall,
stately shrub are edible but its use in maintaining proper blood
pressure is what really caused it to spread among tribal healers. The
key component of roselle are its deep red calyces, the protective
sheaths around the flower buds. This is where the heart-supporting
anthocyanidin compounds are richest. Like with similar compounds in
hawthorn, these help destroy bad lipids that create vessel-clogging
plaque.* Because of the rich genetic diversity of modern humans, having
two different types of anthocyanidins is more likely to accomplish this
goal.
- GINGER: Harnessing the powers of ginger goes back to Asia and India.
It brings about vasodilation, widening the blood vessels and so
requiring less effort of the heart to pump blood.* Ginger may be a
perfect example of “Let food be thy medicine”. 5,000 years ago it was
already deeply rooted in both Indian and Chinese culture. Its unique
flavor was a key spice in many foods while at the same time its rich
collection of compounds made it a medicinal favorite. Science supports
ginger’s claims of immuno-modulatory, anti-tumorigenic,
anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-lipidemic,
anti-emetic, and antioxidative properties.* Compounds in this root are
also capable of relaxing blood vessels by interfering with the
voltage-dependent channels triggered by calcium to constrict arteries,
veins, and capillaries.* This is a different vessel relaxation mechanism
than what occurs from increasing the body’s nitric oxide concentration.
- ETHNOBOTANY & CHEMISTRY COMBINED: Designed by Ph.D. chemist and
prominent medicinal plant forager Dr. Mark Merriwether Vorderbruggen,
this blend taps the experiences of the ancient herbalists while also
being supported by modern research.
- TRUSTED QUALITY: Responsibly sourced and harvested, non-GMO, 3rd
Party tested for pesticides and heavy metals, minimally processed using
cGMP standards to maintain the integrity of compounds. MM Plant Co. is
100% confident in The Blood Pressure Pill. If for any reason at all
you're not satisfied, simply contact us and we'll make it right.
- INTERACTIONS: This supplement should not be taken in conjunction
with medicines known to raise or lower blood pressure, increase the
pumping force of the heart, or increase the overall volume of blood
delivered to the heart as this product may increase these effects beyond
safe levels.
Recommended Dosing
For optimal results, take four capsules per day, all at the same
time, with 8oz of water. When first starting, take two capsules per day
for the first week, then add two more capsules daily in the second week.
If possible during the first two weeks, check blood pressure every
other day to measure effects of The Blood Pressure Pill.
