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.

If you are still taking prescribed bp meds, why when Carditone seems to be such a good supplement?
Thanks, Sue

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.....

I read up on the Carditone reviews here and decided to purchase some. Always had good BP until recently and started creeping up to the 160's/90's. Took my first dose on Thursday night....... as suggested on the bottle. I was up urinating all night it felt like. Took it again Friday night. Urinated 12 to 15 times. Same thing on Saturday night and I am exhausted from basically no sleep for three nights. Did not take on Sunday night but probably still up 8 times. Guess just as I read that it stays in your body and you can lower your dosage and still lowers BP for some, it stayed in my body even when I didn't take it but maybe will clear in a few days.
I have two nurse friends I called about this and they wanted pics of the bottle showing the ingredients. Both came back and told me to be careful that Carditone has a diuretic and that was the reason I was up so many times during the night. I have not seen that word on their ad on Amazon nor have I read it anywhere here. At least I didn't have the nasal problem.
Glad it's working for some of you but you can't rest when you can't get in your REM sleep.

Worked Temporarily
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?

My blood pressure was in serious danger levels and has been brought down to normal. In fact, it states that taking two pills a day will lower blood pressure to safe levels after which one tablet can then be used for maintenance. I also read that it can safely be used for 6 months, then stopped for two weeks before continuing to use it. Testing your blood pressure daily is your gauge and would not take it without testing daily as your blood pressure can retreat to below safe levels as mine did.
Have taken this along with carditone without any side effects for 6 months. Will be reporting on my cholesterol levels at my upcoming blood screening in early September. Tried 4 different statins all with similar muscle cramping before starting this and have had no side effects since beginning.

Side Effects: It definitely causes some congestion, which dissipates during the day. Congestion is also much worse if I have significant gluten or dairy the day before... Anyway, just wanted to report back my results. Very happy with this product.

I know, very clearly, that I cannot sustain these high BP levels and I'm scared but have felt that it's just how it was going to have to be. I stumbled onto your post about Carditone and have read every single post and will admit that I'm feeling hopeful. I ended up ordering two bottles but they wont show up until April 7th. I've been taking a couple of other herbal supplements, but they obviously haven't helped. I will continue to take them and add Carditone to the regimen and closely monitor.
I considering taking two a day, once in the morning and once at night, again, closely monitoring. If the Carditone effectively begins to lower my BP, then I will adjust and monitor once it's lower.
I think I will also take Astaxanthin and begin walking. Fatigue has been a problem when trying to walk. I don't even try speed walking at this point, but I will begin again once I start taking the AST. I first want to see my BP numbers drop a bit before I push the walking. I you have other recommendations there, I'm definitely open to suggestions.

Better But With Side Effects
Peter (Equinunk, PA) on 02/22/2023
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.

Better But With Side Effects
I have been taking Carditone for my high blood pressure since last 3 weeks. Now my blood pressure is in the normal range because of Carditone.
The only major side effect I have is nasal congestion because of Carditone. I read one of the ingredient in Carditone causes Nasal Congestion.
Anyone else noticed the side effect?
Thank you.

Carditone for High Blood Pressure - Update From Art Art (California) on 07/31/2022
I started at the recommended dose of one herbal caplet per night and found Carditone very effective at controlling my blood pressure "in range", but after a month or more, it became apparent that Carditone was working too good, and I had to start taking one caplet every other night in order to not go too low on my pressure reading. This had been working very well for months, but two or three times, I forgot to take my every other night caplet. When I checked my blood pressure, it seemed fine.
Based on those experiences, I decided to try taking one Carditone caplet every third evening. I've been at this new dosing schedule for about 3 weeks now and I am still getting very good readings. I just took my blood pressure about 5 minutes ago, which was116/74 with a pulse rate of 74. On July 20, 2022, when I was already on one caplet every third night, my reading at 11:04 pm was 117/78 with a pulse rate of 67.
The main point being is that these are very good readings for me at a dose of just one caplet every third evening of Carditone. So at least for me, Carditone has seemed to have had a cumulative effect that seems to be lasting.
Carditone is not an inexpensive supplement, but with the need to only take one caplet every third night in my case, it is rather inexpensive for me now, but most importantly, it is much more effective that max dose of Amlodipine was for me taking it once per day. With Amlodipine I was never able to achieve these very good readings.
Another point I have noticed is that when I was on Amlodipine, taking a reading at 11:00 pm or later was almost always likely to give a very high blood pressure reading, but that is no longer the case! I always get good reading now at any time of the day or night.
My take away from this about Carditone is that if you are considering testing it, I highly recommend that you monitor your blood pressure regularly to make sure it is not dropping too low and if it is getting on the low side, definitely consider reducing your dose rate. Carditone allowed me to completely discontinue the max dose Amlodipine that my doctor had me on and I get good in range readings all the time now.

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.

I talked with Dave and he did reduce his dose to one pill every other day instead of the recommended one pill per day and has been doing that for 3 weeks now and he has been keeping track of the results with daily monitoring of his blood pressure which he is keeping a log of. He said that his average blood pressure readings are staying below 120/80 with the reduced dose.
Barbara told me that after her very good initial results she stopped checking her blood pressure, but she texted me today and said that she finally checked her blood pressure today and it was 124/70 and she said she was very happy with the great improvement! She remains at 1 pill per day.
As to myself, my pressure readings continued to decline so I also decided to go to one pill every other day of Carditone, as Dave did. On the occasions when I missed a dose, I did not notice a rise in my blood pressure and that helped convince me to try one pill every other day. The results have been amazing with my average blood pressure reading maintaining below 120/80, similarly to Dave's results. Here is a list of my past week of readings plus today's reading :
1. 115/75
2. 102/68
3. 110/70
4. 105/70
5. 114/77
6. 121/75
7. 115/79
8. 110/68
These are better blood pressure readings than I was getting 30 years ago! None of us have noticed any side effects from taking Carditone. Overall, all three of us are very happy with the results and will definitely continue taking Carditone indefinitely!

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.
