Citrulline - My cure for high blood pressure without all the bad side effects.
I've been taking citrulline malate for maybe a year now. Initially I took it after reading reviews about how it could help alleviate soreness due to weight training. However after studying it further I found out it was great for lowering blood pressure and even an effective treatment for ED. Being in my upper 40s and suffering from high BP and the other, my doc suggested that I get more exercise. But I didn't have the energy to stay awake let alone exercise. One trip to an endocrinologist and he suggested my blood pressure med was the culprit. After cutting that BP pill in half and hitting the gym, It only took a few days to feel a bit better and only one trip to the gym to realize I needed the help of citrulline. Originally I started out using PRIMAFORCE Citrulline Malate but after writing the company to determine what I was really getting, I received an email back stating their citrulline was mixed 1:1 with malate. Bulk Supplements offers a 2:1 mix meaning you get more citrulline than you will with Primaforce's product. I've been taking Bulk Supplements product for well over a month now and my trip to the doctor last week had my BP at 120/70. As for the other issue, let's just say it's not an issue anymore. I liked this product enough to take my endocrinologist's recommendation last week for CoQ10. He said it could help stop the muscle cramps caused by the cholesterol medicine my primary doctor put me on. Maybe in a month or two I'll know how well that product is. Bottom line, if you suffer from moderately high blood pressure, a teaspoon of 2:1 citrulline in the morning and another before bed could have you seeing the same results that I have. My primary doctor took me off that energy and life-robbing blood pressure medicine. Now I feel good enough to enjoy life again.
