New research out of the University of Mississippi shows promise for those wanting to increase natural antioxidant consumption but are limited by calories.
The news is particularly exciting for diabetics who want the benefits of blueberry antioxidants but can’t risk over-doing it with fructose consumption. But it will work for everyone.
A potential new supplement that has entered the clinical trial phase has shown some remarkable results with people who are hypertensive, or have high blood pressure.
The new compound is a synthetic form of the same polyphenol antioxidant found in blueberries, called pterostilbene. Scientists have long known that blueberries are an incredible source of this highly powerful antioxidant, having seen its blood pressure-normalizing effectiveness for many years.
But to get enough of the polyphenol one would need to see the benefits, eating that many blueberries can be very expensive. It is also not recommended for diabetics or those with Metabolic Syndrome.
The new supplement is a bioidentical version of pterostilbene, meaning it is the same, chemically, in every way.
While not yet available for consumers, the makers of the supplement have been releasing their study results to a variety of symposium venues, including those for the American Heart Association.
Get your blood pressure under control today- safely and within minutes….
September 6, 2008, I had a massive hemorrhagic stroke at age 60. My blood pressure was 200+/200+. A blood vessel very low in the left rear of my brain “exploded”. My amygdala were soaked in blood. I have no memory until 7 days later when I awoke with the entire right side of my body 100% paralyzed, and I could not speak with a variety of language impairments. Now, over 4 years later, with enormous gratitude, I have had and am still having an equally massive recovery. An essential component of that recovery has been intensely researched and engaged nutrition. An a key part of that nutrition has been and is BLUEBERRIES. I eat them daily with oatmeal and walnuts (another great health food), in salads, in a cup solo with a spoon, and in as many ways as I want! My blood pressure has steadily dropped (now typically a little under 120/70, and creeping lower. My energy has skyrocketed. I walk sometimes with a cane, and other times without. My speech is very slightly affected, though many people do not notice any problem. Cognitively, I am much more acute. On holidays or special occasions when, for example, a friend asks my girlfriend what to bring me — what does Billy like?, they often ask. She simply answers, “blueberries.
This could be a significant help for those of us who are diabetic and hypertensive. I hope it is on the market soon!
Hi Billy,
Thank you for sharing your information. An amazing recovery. Would you know if a natural concentrate would contain the same active ingredients?
Eunice
Perhaps someone will notify me when this is available to the public?
THANKS
I’d like to know when the blueberry cure comes on the market and where to purchase it. Many thanks.
The fructose occurring in any fruit is fine. Why tamper with God’s blueberries?? Why try to synthetically “improve” their benefits?? Could MONEY be involved??
I am taking Wild Blueberry extract, 1000 mg (vaccinium angustifolium) from Vitacost. I received the info from an MD mailing. He also recommended grapeseed extract and vitamin K2. So far I have had no consistent blood pressure lowering with any of the products or supplements I have taken.
Tried it and very frustrating. Sent it back for refund. Even called tech support 2-3 X. Not for everyone I guess.
The best product to desintoxicate the body is the soya milk and making excersices and drinking as much water as possible. But if the person eat not a very healthy diet the problem will continue till the body normalize the body weigth and lot of water is taken . Generally the diabetic problem come from colon problems.
