Carditone for High Blood Pressure

For Art Solbrig,
Have you discovered any evidence of ischemia while using Carditone?
I am a very healthy 74 YO male. I work out regularly and fast and watch my weight. 5'7" tall and 155#.
I am on 10mg lisinopril for mild hypertension. This is my only prescription med. The Lisinopril was not doing the job, so I added 1 tab of Carditone in may of this year which brought my pressure down to 106-137 over 60-80 on average.
The problem is with my heart rate. Historically my resting heart rate was in the 50's and 60's with the occasional dip into the 40's. After I started taking the carditone my resting HR is in the Low to mid 40's most of the time.
At this time, I am discontinuing all supplements except a daily vitamin and the Lisinopril.

Hi, Art -- thanks for all of your information. I'm curious as to two things: Has Carditone been tested for lead content is the first, and the second is.... coral is one of the ingredients? From a coral reef? They're so endangered, I don't think I could participate in their destruction. Am I just being ignorant as to what the coral is and from where it has come?
Thanks so much for all of your help!

Carditone for High Blood Pressure
It does work, there is no doubt about that. However, every time I take it my nose gets stuffed up horribly. Is this something that gets better with time? I already have sleep apnea so sprinkling nasal congestion on top isn't helpful, but if it's just a temporary side effect it may be worth the short term struggle.

It stopped working for me. I now take Qunol Blood Pressure with beets and CoQ10. Blood pressure has been down. I used Carditone for over 10 years with good results, wonder if they changed the formula.

When I first started buying it I think it was about $10, it since has skyrocketed. I've always purchased it from Amazon, didn't even know they had their own website. Thanks for the info.

Hi Peter,
I am glad that Carditone is helping your wife to maintain her blood pressure in a normal range! For her particular situation, that is a critical point for her long term health outlook! Her dose is similar to my dose at half of a caplet per day. I use one caplet every other day as my effective dose, which is essentially the same as her dose, but easier to take.

Carditone Q&A

carditone dosage/other meds/question for Art
I am going to try Carditone. I am currently on Coreg, and it has been increased since my blood pressure is not controlled on my lower dosage. Can I take the Carditone and my lower dose of Coreg at the same time? I believe my cardiologist (from past experience) will be very unsupportive of me taking anything not from a big Pharma source. Those of you who have taken it and gotten results, did you just add it to your current list and watch or go off your meds? Did you tell your doctor?I intend to be very intent and faithful in taking my blood pressure at home. Thanks in advance.....
Carditone Q&A
Posted by sheila (Nebraska) on 12/10/2023
Thank you, Art. I am waiting for my bottle from the company. I believe the bottle I got on amazon was counterfeit after looking at the warnings/pictures on the ayush site. I'm not sure if I'll get reimbursed for the bottle I received from amazon. I will keep EC advised as to my experience. I asked my compound pharmacist, and she said to remember to check my bp whilst on the Carditone (duh). My blood pressure is high 156/90 most mornings. I take my medicine and it goes down to acceptable levels. Do you have any idea why it would be high overnight? The only thing I can think of is the hours between my meds? I used to have low pressure but in the last few years it's gotten higher. I am taking beet capsules at the present time, also. I know I put questions in the middle of this....sorry. I so appreciate you being so generous with your time and knowledge. Do you have a practice or do telecare visits?

Surfer,
Thank you for the feedback on Carditone. The ingredient in it that can act as a diuretic is Rauwolfia extract.
I have not experienced this problem nor have my two friends who also take it and you are the first person who has reported it on EC. Having to go to the bathroom 12 to 15 times per night would be intolerable. I'm sorry that Carditone will not be an option for you. Perhaps Amazon will give you a refund since you barely tried it or perhaps the manufacturer might.

★☆☆☆☆
I have been taking Carditone for 3weeks now, there is absolutely no difference in my blood pressure; it simply doesn`t work.
I guess I was hoping for a miracle........
BTW. I got it from Amazon, there were 58 pills inside instead of 60, but that does not bother me, the main thing is, it is a waste of money.

Hi Art, I was revisiting this after trying it in 2023 and I looked at the bottle I have and the barcode is indeed running vertically from top to bottom. I just went to Amazon and caught a brief glimpse of the barcode in a video that also shows the barcode running vertically. Is this reversed and the horizontal barcode is the counterfeit? They also no longer have a video up about how to recognize the counterfeit when you click on the link so just trying to verify.
In addition, something else I did not see anyone ask was about whether or not Carditone has an affect on someone with Chronic Kidney disease.
Thanks Art for all the info provided on this subject, much appreciated!

Carol,
Thank you for your feedback on your use of Carditone. I am very happy that it is working well for you! It is also still working well for my two friends and myself and none of us have noticed any side effects. For the three of us, it has worked better than the prescription blood pressure meds our doctors had us on.

It never was my intention to insult you, If that is how my question came across I apologize. It was an honest question tended to dispel any misgivings that a reasonable person may ask before ordering the supplement you are recommending. Thank you for the clarification.

Art,
My wife is on diuretic, allowing 2 hours or longer after that before Carditone (it works), what is your opinion?
There was one review on amazon that had issue.
My wife had to stop Berberine(it works) because of diarrhea, I do not know which pill is the cause?
Trying to test it out now. Always value your opinion. I have read many years of your postings and Ted also. I prefer your recommend brands and beside no one forcing us to buy the brand. Thanks Thanks

Lisinopril almost killed me. It took me 8 months to "recover." If there is any way to avoid taking it, I'd run as fast as possible in that direction! :)

I am reading Art Solbrig's post on Carditone for High blood pressure and it is hard to believe that taking 1 Carditone at night would help someone with high blood pressure. I have been taking Carditone with BP meds and still my pressure spikes here and there. I also take 1 Carditone before bed. I would love to just take Carditone but don't think just taking 1 would help. I take the brand that starts with an Ay

★★★★☆WORKED TEMPORARILY
Hi Art
You mentioned that you'd be interested in how I got on with taking Carditone. In the early days it worked very well, but recently stopped working. This morning I took a reading and it was 156/82. So far I've been on them for approximately 50 days. The only changes I've made in my diet in an attempt to reduce the amount of arthritic pain I'm in are having two tablespoonsful of ACV, one teaspoonful of borax solution, and drinking a mug of bone broth daily, but I cannot see these affecting my blood pressure.
Any thoughts?

Hi, I'm interested in purchasing some Carditone, but when I looked on Amazon UK they say that it is unavailable. Can it be purchased in the UK from other sources? I understand that the AYUSH brand is the best one to purchase, and that others are substandard replicas. Anyone any information on this?

I have taken Carditone for two months now. It has lowered my blood pressure. But the side effect of nasal congestion is off the charts. I am disappointed to have to stop taking it.

I have been told by a pharmacist that Carditone has cancer causing ingredients. I took it for my blood pressure and it worked well but I was scared off by the pharmacists remarks. Has anyone researched the validity of the “cancer causing” claims?

Do you and/or EC have a stake in the commercial products and/or chemical compounds you've been touting? And I am NOT asking, merely out of curiosity. I'm dead serious. Are you and/or EC failing or refusing to disclose a relationship with ANY entity, commercial or not, whose interests run contrary to the natural approach to self-care on which this site was built? Yes or no.

I have been taking Carditone for about a week now (one pill every night) and it's apparent to me that it is working well to lower my systolic, but my diastolic remains high. This decreases the numbers in between, and I've read that it's important that there be about 40 numbers between the two readings. Have you ever heard of it only effecting the systolic number? Thanks in advance for your help! Much appreciated!

Re Carditone.
Reading the testimonials this appears extremely effective and so intend to try it. When searching I found huge discrepancies in price, ie £40 & £80, which appear to be the same product!
Given that "Dave" had such excellent results, I'd like to use the same supplier. Your kind assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Art, for your article on the benefits of Carditone. I am a senior who has never been on any prescription drugs. However, recently, due to stress, my BP has been inconsistent with highs of 189/100 (and chest pains) and lows under 120/80. My doctor prescribed Amlodipine 5 mg. 2 weeks ago and for the first week my BP stabilized in the healthy range and my morning lightheadedness was gone. Then halfway through my second week, I became unable to sleep at night no matter what natural sleep aids I took. Last night my heart was pounding and racing so bad I thought I was dying. To antidote, I drank water with vitamin C all night. I will no longer take the Amlodipine but am now searching for a natural way to control my BP such as high-dose magnesium.
When I read your review of Carditone I wondered if this would help with my BP, insomnia, and arrhythmia. Your reply would be so appreciated. Thank you.

I stopped my medications for my HBP and have been taking Carditone for 5 days and my blood pressure has not gone down. In fact, my blood pressure is higher than what is what at the beginning of taking Carditone.
