NutraMD High Blood Pressure Essential Nutrients Supplement
Hypertension, more commonly called high blood pressure, is often referred as "the silent killer" because it often shows no signs or symptoms. In the United States alone, at least 65
million American adults have
high blood pressure.
There are many different types of blood pressure lowering medications that your doctor may prescribe, however these prescriptions can cause certain nutritional deficiencies that may increase your risk for chronic degenerative diseases. NutraMD High Blood Pressure Essential Nutrients® supplement was designed to work with your blood pressure lowering medications by replacing lost nutrients, reducing the risk of dangerous side effects, and promote better health.
Types of High Blood Pressure Medications
The main categories of blood pressure lowering medications that deplete your nutrients are:
Diuretics (loop, potassium sparing, and thiazide)
ACE inhibitors.
Beta blockers
Central alpha agonists.
Why do I need blood pressure medication?
The main reason for your doctor to prescribe blood pressure medicines is because there is clear evidence that any blood pressure reading greater than 115/75 has an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke, and a greater risk of sudden death. This risk increases dramatically with a blood pressure reading above 140/90. The main problem with blood pressure medications as a whole is that they have been found to cause depletion of the following nutrients: Calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, sodium, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), folate, vitamin B1 (thiamin), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), and vitamin C. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and CoQ10 deficiencies are directly linked to high blood pressure. Therefore reducing their amounts in the body can make it more difficult for your doctor to normalize your blood pressure.
Why are these nutrients important?
* Calcium deficiency is related to osteoporosis, and arthritis.
* Magnesium is responsible for more than 300 chemical reactions in the body.
* Vitamin A deficiency is related to high cholesterol, diabetes, depression, muscle and joint pain, osteoporosis, heart arrhythmias, fatigue, and many more.
* Potassium deficiency is related to heart arrhythmias, and mental disturbances.
* Zinc is responsible for more than 200 chemical reactions in the body. Deficiency of zinc is related to heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, psoriasis, gout, and more.
* CoQ10 deficiency has been linked to the following diseases and symptoms: Congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, rhabdomyolysis (muscle break down), muscle and joint pain, angina (pains in the chest), and fatigue.
* Folate deficiency is directly related to heart disease, cancer, neural tube defects, anemia, and more.
* Vitamin B1 deficiency is related to congestive heart failure, depression, muscle pain, and fatigue.
* Vitamin B6 deficiency is linked with heart disease, carpal tunnel syndrome, PMS, depression, and fatigue.
* Vitamin C deficiency is related to heart disease, high cholesterol, muscle pain, and osteoporosis.

Many of these side nutritional side effects are well known, which is why your doctor may monitor your serum electrolytes (calcium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride) while you are on some of these medications, however, serum electrolyte levels are not good markers for tissue levels of these nutrients and thus do not reliably detect nutritional deficiencies.
Therefore to achieve maximum benefit from the blood pressure medication and minimize potential side effects of nutrient deficiencies, you should compliment your prescription medication by taking NutraMD High Blood Pressure Essential Nutrients® supplement. By doing this you will balance the risk/benefit ratio further in your favor.
In summary, blood pressure lowering medications prescribed by your doctor are necessary to treat your condition, however, you should also be aware that the long term potential nutritional side effects can be just as big a risk factor for your condition and for other conditions as well. Put the odds in your favor and maintain your health with NutraMD High Blood Pressure Essential Nutrients® supplement.
