INCREASING MY BLOOD PRESSURE!!!! =(
the instructions on the bottle are not clear.
It says 4 capsules twice daily. For heart benefits, take 2 capsules once daily. This is very confusing. My blood pressure was 127/97.
I took 4 capsules in the AM and 4 capsules in the evening. Here is what happened:
03/05/18 127/97 HR: 64
03/06/18 144/98 HR: 64
03/08/18 150/101 HR: 54
03/09/18 152/102 HR: 61
WHY is it increasing my blood pressure? I thought its supposed to decrease it. =( I'm going to decrease the dosage but they really should not tell people to take 8 capsules per day. On the bottle it says DIRECTIONS: As a dietary supplement, take 4 capsules twice daily. For heart benefits, take 2 capsules once daily. I'm trying to LOWER MY BLOOD PRESSURE not increase it. I bought this product because of the good reviews and I was hoping it would change things for me. =(
