Hawthorn Berry for lowering blood pressure

[kloan]

My blood pressure has been consistently high, even before I started my cycle. It usually averages around 140/80 give or take a few in each number.

I picked up some hawthorn berry because I saw it mentioned quite a few times, however no one mentioned how much to take.

Anyone know what an effective dose is, or how much I should start with?

Drink plenty of water. Get some cardiovascular exercise in as well!

haven't been, no.. some foods i eat i have no idea how much is in it... one thing i've been curious about though, is what should i be limiting my sodium to? i see a lot of 'limit your sodium intake' but never how much i'm supposed to limit...

cottage cheese? damn. i've been eating plenty of that...
