Taking l-arginine an hour or two before aerobic exercise may be an effective way of lowering blood pressure. The exercise and arginine in your bloodstream will help relax and widen (“vasodilate”) your blood vessels and lower high blood pressure for a while. Blood pressure will be lowered for perhaps a couple of days. So you need to keep this up. Exercise at least three times a week, and with the arginine supplementation, your blood pressure will be lowered naturally (at least more naturally than a pharmaceutical drug.)

The dose of arginine required is half a gram for every 10kg of body weight. Take your weight in kilograms, divide by ten. Then multiply the result by 0.5 and you should get your dosage. Which will be around 3-4 grams for most people. This formula has been quoted in the scientific literature, for what I’m not exactly sure, but the formula works. And it’s been used by at least two holistic-approach sources.

I calculated 4g was my optimal dose of arginine before I came across this formula, which just verified mathematically my personal results. As with any supplement, there is always the danger and side effect of overdosing, so taking just the minimum arginine you need for the BP lowering effect.

If you’d like to lower your BP beyond what arginine can deliver, try other supplements. The cause of high BP is probably “multifactorial”, meaning there are several reasons that contribute to high BP. Each cause may respond best to a different supplement, so a bit of trial and error may be needed. Some supplements may “fight” each other, so just be careful here.

Why isn’t the BP lowering effects of arginine combined with exercise more widely known? Arginine is cheap. And can’t be patented by big the big drug companies. Perhaps this is one possible reason.

Thanks for reading, and good luck with your health.
