Blood Pressure Support

Bodybuilders use three main categories of blood pressure medication to manage blood pressure while on cycle: angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), beta blockers, and diuretics.

ARBs are the mosty common options and work by blocking the action of a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow, leading to lower blood pressure.

Beta blockers are sometiems used post workout and at night to slow down the heart rate and reduce the workload on the heart, also leading to lower blood pressure.

Diuretic use is less common, they increase the amount of urine produced by the kidneys, which can help reduce excess fluid in the body and lower blood pressure. Diretics must be used with great care as they can possess potentially dangerous side effects such as dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
