Natural Factors - Peptace Fish Peptides with Bonito Peptide- 500mg - 90 65458

The effectiveness of this product in lowering blood pressure seems to vary from person to person, as with prescription drugs. A physician told me it would be most effective in a patient whose hypertension was initiated by renal malfunction of some kind, as the natural fish peptides work the same way as ACE inhibitors. Not all patients with high BP have renal malfunction and not all are responsive to ACE inhibitors, so maybe in those cases it doesn't work so well. The effect of these peptides also seems to be amplified if used in conjunction with celery seed extract and allicin/garlic; I'm not sure why but they do seem to work better. In my case normal prescription medicine is 8mg/day of candesartan cilexetil which reduces the BP from stage 1 hypertension to the `desired' range, but which I found to have accumulating undesirable side-effects like nausea, lack of energy and inability to think straight. I stopped taking the candesartan in order to measure the effectiveness of the peptides, which I can confirm lowered BP by >20 points systolic/15 points diastolic after 6 weeks of regular use: not as good as the drug, but definitely a positive measurable effect. I've been taking 3x caps/day + celery seed extract + `Allitech' capsules, and no other medication. The conclusion seems to be that if ACE inhibitors work for you clinically (nb they don't work for everyone) then the peptides will work too as the same biological mechanism is being affected, although the peptides may not work so well. The big bonus is the peptide is a natural product, non-pharmaceutical and so free of side-effects - and of course you will cease to be dependent on pharmaceutical medicine. There's also the cost issue: these peptides are unavailable on NHS prescription so you have to pay for them yourself, and they're not cheap. Despite reservations and caveats, I have to award this product 4 stars because there is a definite positive measurable effect on BP. It would get 5 stars if it were even more effective, and half the price.

Works great for great health

Antibiotics for my aquarium. Worked very well

Along with a low salt, strict anti-inflammatory, gluten, dairy, nut and sugar free, and high potassium diet, this supplement has helped to reduce my pressures substantially. I am taking a higher dosage than suggested on the bottle recommended by my nutritional consultant. I am very grateful to Amazon for supplying this product. Its been 3 weeks now that I've been taking it and I believe its been very effective (my BP was 160/95 and now is typically 120/80 and sometimes as low as 115/75 Sometimes it can still spike a little higher - 135/85 - but nothing like before. I am also taking some other blood pressure supplements as well, though I am not taking any prescription BP meds at the moment. The combination of the PEPTACE, along with my healthier diet and additional supplements, is very encouraging to date.

Good product. Seems to work.
