Olive leaf extract, blood sugar and cardiovascular together.

by James
(Usa)

Question:

Can you take the olive leaf extract, blood sugar and cardiovascular all together?

Answer:

If you mean one straight after another, I wouldn't recommend it.

If you mean concurrently then;

If you are on medication from your doctor, inform him/her of your intentions first so your progress can be monitored.

Then start with good quality leaves in a tea or organic olive leaf capsules containing no concentrated extract.
Monitor progress for a few weeks.

If everything stays under control, you could start on an extract, but increasing dosage very gradually.
Don't leave anything to chance, but have your doctor monitor your progress/alter dosage of drugs as he/she sees fit.
