High blood pressure (HBP) is a serious condition that can lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other health problems.
"Blood pressure" is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage the body in many ways.
Overview
About 1 in 3 adults in the United States has HBP. HBP itself usually has no symptoms. You can have it for years without knowing it. During this time, though, it can damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of your body.
This is why knowing your blood pressure numbers is important, even when you're feeling fine. If your blood pressure is normal, you can work with your health care team to keep it that way. If your blood pressure is too high, you need treatment to prevent damage to your body's organs.
How Is High Blood Pressure Treated?
High blood pressure (HBP) is treated with lifestyle changes and medicines.

Natural Solutions/Remedies for High Blood Pressure
Lifestyle changes and natural remedies may help to control high blood pressure, but your doctor may also recommend medication to lower high blood pressure.
CO-Q PLUS - Co-enzyme Q10 (Co-Q10) is a Vitamin-like substance that is found in virtually all cells of the human body, thus earning Co-Q10 its other name, ubiquinone. Unlike vitamins, which by definition are not synthesized within the body, Co Q10 is synthesized in nearly every tissue of the body. It is also, in fact, not a vitamin at all but rather a co-enzyme - an organic molecule that activates a larger protein catalyst (an enzyme) that in turn facilitates a biological reaction without extinguishing itself within that reaction.
Vasotensin® - Natural Blood Pressure Support - Vasotensin provides peptides from bonito fish to support health blood pressure levels already in the normal range.
Bonito peptides have been shown to reduce the formation of angiotensin II—a potent vasoconstrictor—through their interaction of bonito peptides with angiotensin converting enzyme.♦
Fast-acting formula designed to provide a clinically effective dose in just 2 tablets twice daily.
Assayed to assure product viability and the presence of LKPNM—a peptide found to produce eight-fold higher activity when hydrolyzed by angiotensin converting enzyme as occurs in the body.
Testing for LKPNM assures optimal efficacy to help maintain blood pressure already within the normal range.♦
No rebound (reverse) effect observed in human clinical trials when supplementation is discontinued.
Excellent safety profile—no serious adverse effects associated with bonito peptides have been reported.
May be used as a complement to other heart support programs:♦
— Prescription drugs— Medical foods— Dietary supplements
