Ayush Herbs Carditone - Natural Heart Health Supplement for Women & Men, BP Formula, Holistic Heart Supplement with Rauwolfia, Arjuna, Calcium, and Magnesium - 120 Servings

Let me start off by saying I have had high blood pressure since I was in my early 30s, and have been taking a prescription med for over 25 years. In all fairness I have to admit that I have never suffered any side effects from my prescription medicine. I have always felt good with it and it has worked well most of the time in the past. I decided over a year ago to try and take a natural route to my BP for I was getting sick and tired of being at the mercy of both my doctor and the insurance company that were both getting too greedy and difficult to deal with. Unfortunately many of the natural supplements I tried that can be found on Amazon did not work. They may have helped in some cases maintain what pressure I had while on medication in some instances, but eliminating my prescription med was totally not an option. Then I found this Carditone. I decided to try it because of the glowing reviews it has gathered here. And now that I have been on it for over a month I can truthfully say that all the positive reviews were right. This stuff not only has worked fabulously for me, but for the first time in almost three decades I am off a prescription drug for my BP. I must confess that I wasn't too smart in my beginning a regimen with this. I just one day stopped taking my prescription meds and started using the Carditone. Dumb move, and dangerous as well. It's very obvious by the other reviews here that this takes time to build up and work in your system and I should have heeded that warning closer. I could tell that my BP had jumped the first couple of days for my pulse was fast, and I started to get headaches after the second day. I didn't even bother to take a reading, I just decided to cut my prescription med in half and add it to the regimen, and hopefully ween myself off of it over the two weeks that the Carditone takes to really start working. I did take a reading a couple of days after starting the split regimen and it was 158/95. Not the worst, but not good either. But then I decided to just forgo any more readings until I had been on the Carditone for a full two weeks. When I finally did take it, I was shocked, most pleasantly. It read 130/68. Twice I took it and twice it was in the 130/70 range. Simply amazing. I took it again a couple of times over the next few days and every time it was in that same range, and with a pulse rate of 66-72. After another week I finally dropped the prescription med and have now been on the Carditone alone for almost two months. I take my BP about 2 or 3 times a week and it is always in the 130/75 range. (My pulse rate has increased some since dropping the prescription meds, but the BP pressure has remained constant). I feel no side effects whatsoever and I am exercising and feeling better than I have in years. I can't tell you what it feels like to be free of the yolk of doctors and insurance companies after so many years of catering to their orders and making them rich. I have been taking the recommended dose of one tablet morning and evening and it has worked perfectly for me. I don't know where this stuff was a year ago when I was trying so many other supplements, but all I can is thank God I found it now. It's the best thing that has happened to my health is a very long time... In conclusion, my experience with this Ayush Carditone is a true success story. It couldn't come out any better. And I recommend it highly for anyone who's BP is a little high that is presently on no meds as a very effective natural remedy. However I must warn you that if you are thinking of trying this and are taking a prescription med as I was, that you not be as stupid as me and either take your full dose along with this the first week or so, or cut down the dose and split the difference as I did. Do not just go cold turkey, for this Carditone does indeed take a couple of weeks to build up and become effective in your system. Remember that patience is a virtue, practice at the beginning with this and enjoy being free of prescription drugs for your BP, maybe forever...Highly recommended...

I have been taking this product for years and it’s the only thing that really keeps my blood pressure in check without having side effects. It has saved me from having to go on prescription medication which does have a lot of side effects. My review today is based on the fact that I needed to call their customer service department and ask something specific about the product and its appearance and I was able to call them and get through to a doctor right away who answered my question. This was great and I highly recommend this product.

While I've had some minor side effects I can live with (most meds do, whether natural or not), I believe Carditone as well as a natural water pill I take, will keep me from having to go on BP meds from the doctor for the foreseeable future. I'm 29, and for several years I've had a near-constant mild tension-like headache, a rushing heartbeat, and feeling overly hot and a bit swollen, while being nowhere near menopause age. Turns out, this was a high blood pressure headache. For several weeks (probably should have taken Cardi a few more months before making a review) I've been on Carditone once a day every other day, and a natural water pill (click my profile, I reviewed the water pill) diuretic... my BP went from an average of 135/86 to around 122/76. I am so, so happy! While my pressure wasn't extremely high, for me personally it must have been too much since I was battling constant headaches, I even started to wonder if I had a brain tumor. Well, I'm thrilled to say I'm no longer having ANY headaches!! My rushing heartbeat has decreased, and I notice I'm colder and my hands sweat less (maybe that's the water pill). Now, I want to get into my dosage... I may keep tweaking it, but currently, I'm in the "less is more" camp and I've only been taking 1 Cardi pill every other day, and 1 water pill every other day. I normally don't take both on the same day. I see some people saying they were having bad effects such as feeling faint and too low BP, and I wonder if they were taking too much, or should only take 1X/day versus twice daily. I am a 135 lb 5'2 woman, so for me, just 1 pill is very effective, remember everyone is different, maybe *you* personally would need more or less. Remember, you can even cut these pills in half. Maybe I will experiment with taking 1/2 in the morning and the other half at night. Due to my only taking like 3-4 pills each week, I haven't felt faint or anything too strong. However, in the immediate hours after taking 1 pill, I do feel a bit more spacey, laid back and chill attitude, lower energy, and a bit of a stuffy nose. Now I also battle with depression and anxiety, so honestly, the extra laid back attitude is a welcome change for me. My husband has commented to me that I've been extra pleasant to be around lately lol. This side effect could have to do with one of the herbs, look up each one of the herbs and read so you know what to expect, one of the herbs does have a documented side effect of feeling spacey. Perhaps when people are taking large doses, that could be what is making people feel faint and weak. I'm happy with my lowered heart rate as well. Also, taking a B complex supplement can help with lowered energy. It's helped me, and while I still feel very calm, I absolutely do not feel faint or unable to exercise/work etc. As of now, I'm continuing with my every other day regimen of this Carditone plus the water pill, not taken on the same day.

Wow. I have been taking 2/day for about 6 months. My blood pressure is now 111/66 on average, compared to 137/75 on average a few months ago. I can’t attribute this change to any other supplement or lifestyle change. I am thrilled with the results and feel good.

I can't believe this has lowered my BP tremendously! In late September, 2012, my BP was 185/135 when I went to see the doctor. I was given a pill and then I had to remain for a couple of hours until my BP went back down. As soon as I got home, I got on the computer. I saw the reviews on this herb and placed an immediate order. I had gone through 2 years of pharmaceutical hell with different types of medication. I had experienced almost every side effect possible! I had stopped living the minute I took my first pharma med in October 2010. I had gained 30 lbs in the first 2 months, had horrible back and joint pain, irritating dry cough, severe fatigue during the day, insomnia at night, metallic taste in my mouth, leg cramps, painful sensitivity to being touched, sensitive to lots of sound, decreased urine amount, swollen everything, dizziness, heartburn, drowsiness...worst of all, hair loss! I had spoken to so many different doctors re: the side effects. All they would do is change out my meds and tell me to go on a diet! Being a marathon runner, I know how to eat and exercise to keep in shape. I knew right then that they were not listening. The first time I got off my meds due to frustration(not smart I know), I lost 8 lbs in 6 days without changing my "diet". All 9 different doctors made me feel as if I was crazy! I knew I had to try and find my answer to getting better and not just masking it with a pharmaceutical band-aid. I then drove myself almost crazy for 1 year googling to find a natural fix for my high BP. So, here I am. October 1st, 2012, I took 1 caplet in the am and 1 in the pm. After 2 weeks, my blood pressure went down to a dizzy, tired feeling for me...115/72. I then cut back to 1 pill in the eve. I gave this product 4 out of 5 stars because I haven't been on it long enough to decide if it truly is a 5 star-er. I hope this works without any side effects! 5 stars for sure if that happens! So far, so good!

Helps with high BP

Honestly, this stuff helped me tremendously. I was waking up with headaches and no more. Highly recommend this if you have blood pressure issues and of course it’s not for everyone. I love taking natural remedies over prescription drugs.

I was skeptical, but my acupuncturist recommended this product, along with Seven Flowers herbal pills. I began acupuncture two weeks ago as a means to get my very high BP down to normal levels. I've tried every remedy known to avoid the evil western medical pharmaceuticals. I added Carditone and Seven flowers to my normal routine of CoQ10, beet root, pomegranate syrup, garlic and magnesium. These alone were unable to bring down my high ((160/100) BP, (which I believe was brought on by thyroid disease.) The first night I added these in, I felt like I was on SPEED. I couldn't sleep a wink...and this was the only thing I added into the mix. But---going on the rave reviews here, I kept taking them--- Took the BP that next day and miracle of miracles....127/70. The next day....120/68..... Same evening...116/60! WOH! And guess what? The next night? And every night since??? Slept like a baby! I will do just about anything to not go on yet another medication for life....dealing with the thyroid meds and all their ups and downs is enough...Don't want to lose my hair again to nasty big pharma side effects, put on massive weight, or screw up my potassium levels... So far the only side effect after that first sleepless night I've noticed, and one that that many have mentioned..is a bit of nasal congestion. It's tolerable. It's been about a week, so it may be way too early to tell if this is a temporary thing, as some reviewers have stated it stopped working for them after a while---or if this is the real deal. SO hoping for the latter. So far, since starting this last Tuesday, now over a week, I have not had a BP reading higher than 130/78, and this after marching about the yard putting in drip irrigation for several very sweltering hours. Why use chemicals when 1,000+ years of medical herbal research and use works! If it changes, I'll update! UPDATE: So a couple weeks in, and the BP is rising. Not sure if it's due to not taking the rest of my vitamin regimen, as well as the Seven Flowers that I'd been taking, or if it's just not working any longer. Will monitor and report back. Update: 1/17/15 I was taking two pills a day, and the BP was doing well. Then in December, I saw my hairline start to thin out again, like it had when I was first diagnosed as Hypo. I have no proof that Carditone is the culprit, but I lost SO much hair from early thyroid issues, I can't risk it. It seems plausible as so many BP prescription meds cause hair loss as a side effect, and it is a prime reason I want to avoid them at all costs. I'm currently looking into Dr. Ben Lynch's information on methylation and thyroid and yes, high blood pressure. Started taking folate and b12 and immediately started feeling gleeful. It's supposed to help lower BP along with a host of other things. It's interesting stuff...but while it has made me feel elated and has given me a ton of energy, it's too soon to tell if it'll help the BP or the thyroid will work better as a result. I'm now only taking ONE pill every other day of carditone and hoping it won't crank up the BP as a result....it's been on and off up and down for a couple months. I also added in a hardcore Biotin pill to the mix, and am hopeful it'll switch off the hair loss on top. With thyroid it feels like two steps ahead, ten behind all the time. Frustrating. Update: 4/1/21 I took this again, foolishly, and while it did work, it lowers BP measurably, and quickly, this time around it gave me such sinus issues. It was as if my entire nasal passage closed up completely. I wish the company would post all these side effects. I wish I could take this! But after waiting a couple more years and hoping and trying again: Nope. I just can't.
