Timing of supplements

I have always seemed to acquire a shitload of ailments over the years. Recently I had circulatory and hypertension issues. I researched and found supplements to assist with my medication. MY thoughts out loud (this is how I think) is to run it by others and see what feedback I can take.

My main question is that virtually all the supplements say take with food preferably. out of my list I shall post is there stuff that should always be taken together or separately? My main question is a sustained formula of l-arginine (Kowalski’s BP book) and ACETYL L-CARNITINE 400 mg. with ALPHA LIPOIC ACID 200 mg. So far I have taken them apart. Is it better without a meal if it is an amino acid? The directions say with food preferably. I am just trying to get the biggest bang for my buck and the best effectiveness as well.

I suffer from vascular issues so I have had a vascular specialist for my venous insufficiency in my legs and Raynauld’s as well as a cardiologist for my explosive blood pressure which I had excellently handled till recently. I have also arteriosclerosis in a very mild form. I am looking to knock all of them out by a common root path. I also have high uric acid and occasionally gout out.

My normal meds are 50mg Cilostazonol 2 times a day for Raynauld’s. and one 60mg NIfedical XL each day for blood pressure. I walk for about a half hour each day. I dropped 40 lbs about a year or so back impressing the cardiologist. I eat better, I cut way back on soda and other shit. But all my business stuff is raising the shit out of my hypertension. The other day I was like 189/119. I also seem to have manifested very light ED from that Calcium Channel Blocker. I used to cut them in half but once it gets cold I need them for the Raynauld’s.

My acupuncturist who is also a TCM herbologist said, take all the food derivative stuff at once like it was coming from a big salad.So the beet capsules, cayenne, etc….

I also read where the cayenne seems to be a catalyst for other stuff and I was wondering if I take a single cap with whatever it increases the potency.

Look for L-Arginine in ethyl ester form. This is the best type of Arginine as it absorbs the most. Also take your Arginine ethyl ester along with Pycnogenol in an empty stomach and you will rip the best benefit from the synergy they provide.

Don’t follow the manufacturer recommendation of taking things with food. They are doing that as a safeguard in case someone takes his/her medication and went on a long fast. Doing so, many times for a long period of time may cause liver damage.

As long as you eat something 2 hours after taking your medication and drink alot of water, you will be fine.
