HIGH blood pressure risk could be reduced by making diet and lifestyle changes. Could taking CBD oil supplements help to lower the risk of hypertension symptoms? This is how much cannabis oil high blood pressure sufferers would need to take everyday to make a difference to blood pressure readings.
High blood pressure affects more than 25 per cent of people in the UK, according to the NHS.
The risk of developing the condition could be reduced, which is also known as hypertension, by making changes to diet plans.
Adding cannabidiol (CBD) oil to the diet could help to lower blood pressure, revealed nutritionist Dr Sarah Brewer.
The oil has anti-anxiety and analgesic effects, which helps to relax blood vessels, scientists have claimed.
“New research suggests that taking a single dose of cannabidiol [CBD] oil can lower blood pressure before and after a stressful situation,” said Brewer, on her website MyLowerBloodPressure.com.
“Cannabidiol extracts are typically combined with olive oil, coconut oil or hemp seed oil to enhance absorption. They are available as capsules, gummies, drops and oral sprays.

“If you don’t mind the strong herbal flavour, then you can take cannabidiol as drops, a spray or as gummies.
“If you prefer to take cannabidiol in the form of a capsule, then Healthspan [for whom I act as a medical consultant] offer two strengths of pharmaceutical-grade cannabidiol in capsules which are easy to take.”
Manufacturers’ guidance on how much of their product to take should always be followed, she added.
CBD supplements could lower blood pressure by an average of 6/3mmHg, scientists have claimed.
But that included a relatively high dose of CBD in studies performed.
The supplements are increasingly being used to boost well-being and to help patients cope with anxiety and stress, said Brewer.
CBD doesn’t contain any psychoactive compounds that could produce a ‘high’.
“It does, however, interact with your brain’s own endocannabinoid system to damp down over-stimulation of brain receptors, reduce pain perception, ease anxiety, promote relaxation and improve sleep quality,” revealed the nutritionist.

What is considered a single dose?
A single dosage of our products is usually a dropper full.
wat is that in mg?
Not sure exactly what you are asking – please clarify????
I believe he’s asking how many mg of CBD would one dropper full (single dose) equate to? I’d be interested to know this too
One dropper full of the 250 mg equals about 10 mg of CBD. 1 dropper full of the 500mg oil equals about 18-20 mg of CBD. The higher the concentration (MG) the higher the dropper full dosage equals. Feel free to call our 800 number with any questions you may have.

CBD, and some BP meds can have contraindications because they use the same enzyme Cytochrome P4 50 to metabolize. A quick search for your medication and CBD will tell you if your medication will have these contraindications.

I am on 5mg amlodipine and 25 mg on losartan in the morning and 5mg amlodipine in the evening. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. Can I still take the CBD gel caps with the blood pressure medicine?
Yes you can without any problems.

Hi can it be taken alongside blood pressure medication?
Yes
Can the blood pressure medication be replaced By CBD alone?
Please consult your physician before stopping nay medication.
Can I take CBD with Thyroxine? I take 100 mcg. weekdays and 125 mcg. at weekends. Also Felodipine 5mg blood pressure tablets each day.
Would it be safe for me to take CBD in conjunction with this medication?
Thank you.
Please consult your physician before stopping nay prescribed medications. CBD has not proven to have any adverse reactions with medications so far but again please consult your physician.
The only research study I found on CBD and hypertension was a study in which they administered a single dose of 600 mg of CBD. This is the dose that it took to lower blood pressure. That is a hugely larger dose than what you are offering here. How much would a single 600 mg dose cost?
We don’t sell single doses of CBD except in our edibles which are 10MG or 25MG each in our Gummies.
I’m taking 5mg of amlodipline and 20mg of atorvastatin with 25mg of cbd gummies for a month now. I want to stop the meds because I think it’s not agreeing with me. I don’t want to tell my doctor about the cbd.
