FORGOTTEN crop targets OVERLOOKED culprit behind hypertension
There’s something you need to know about your blood pressure numbers — something your doc may NEVER tell you.
A tiny spike… even just 1 or 2 points above “normal”… DOESN’T necessarily mean you have hypertension.
But it’s enough to get your doc ready to scribble off an Rx for a hypertension drug.
If your BP is truly high at all, it’s probably just a LITTLE higher than ideal.
Most of us don’t have BP readings that are sky high…
And NONE of us need to get our BP numbers down as low as they can possibly go!
It’s time to quit the mainstream’s “numbers game”… and start looking at what those elevated readings may mean for your OVERALL health.
The latest research reveals a mechanism behind rising blood pressure that’s been largely OVERLOOKED by conventional “health experts”…
As well as a natural “fix” for it!
It’s a crop that was once popular in Colonial times… but has since been FORGOTTEN!
Here’s why we should JOG our memories… and pay attention to this plant powerhouse.
A secret culprit behind BP spikes?
There’s an ancient grain you should know about that’s like a cereal… but it doesn’t come from cereal grass.
And despite its name, it’s not a “wheat”… so it’s naturally gluten-free.
I’m talking about a special kind of buckwheat from China – an antioxidant powerhouse called “bitter” or tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum).
Believe it or not, it’s more closely related to rhubarb than it is to oats!
This fiber-rich, nutrient-packed grain substitute is a protein powerhouse…
And contains a number of heart-healthy and bioavailable minerals, like copper and magnesium.

Now, researchers have discovered yet ANOTHER substance that’s locked away inside of buckwheat – one that ALSO contributes to blood pressure control.
But it does it in a totally DIFFERENT way.
It’s called 2-HOBA… and it targets your immune cells.
We’ve known for over 50 years that the immune system has some influence over blood pressure…
But it’s only been during THIS century that we’ve figured out that heightened immune cell activity can be linked to elevated BP numbers!
That makes sense, considering some patients who start taking immunosuppressant drugs see their BP go down.
But 2-HOBA doesn’t INHIBIT your immune response… or put you in the crosshairs for deadly infections.
According to the latest research, it actually could REJUVENATE an immune system…
Especially one that’s “worn-out” from working overtime.
In fact, it could allow your defenses to return to a RESTING state… rather than one that’s ready to ATTACK.
That doesn’t mean that your immunity goes “on vacation”… or isn’t on alert.
It just shifts into “neutral” gear…
And that sets off a cascade of events that includes arteries that RELAX and blood pressure that RECEDES.
Now, 2-HOBA isn’t available on its own as a supplement… but clinical trials have already shown it’s safe for healthy people to take.
And it’s one of the ingredients in an immune-supporting formula called HTB Rejuvenate, sold by a company known as Big Bold Health.
It sources 2-HOBA from Himalayan tartary buckwheat (“HTB”)… and it contains other buckwheat nutrients, like rutin.
You can purchase your supply online at the company’s website for about a dollar a day.
You can also incorporate hull-less buckwheat seeds… a.k.a. “groats”… into your diet…
Or drink tartary buckwheat tea (a.k.a. “Ku Qiao Cha”).
It’s incredibly safe…
But be aware that it can lower your blood sugar, so proceed with caution if you’re on diabetes meds or you’re following another regimen to beat back hyperglycemia.
