Hi Diandra, you’ll probably view this a little skeptically, but the supplement that has been most effective for me for BP control is hawthorn. I use the Jarrow formulation: http://www.iherb.com/Jarrow-Formulas...1&sr=null&ic=1
I took 1000 mg daily divided into two doses for about 6 months until it had a noticeable effect on my readings. Now I am down to 500 mg daily as a maintenance dose.

Over the years I’ve tried lots of other supplements to reduce BP without much success. I do take 400 mg of magnesium citrate each day, but what actually has made the most difference for me was reducing my salt intake to 1500 mg daily.

Losing weight was also helpful. Even a 5 lb reduction has made a difference for me. I also used to exercise regularly, but that has now become very difficult with my current mobility problems.

Hope you are successful in finding something that works for you!
