I’ve been trying this for over 3 months and it’s done absolutely nothing for my blood pressure.

Thanks for this, @Joseph . Does it measure pulse rate as well? — I didn’t see it mention, but it would seem to me this would have been an easy addition. I’m considering this for me, but also for my newly -Type-1 Diabetes-diagnosed daughter who just got her continuous glucose monitor installed (thinking for me as well so we both have it, and because I’m “low carb” — actually we’re both low-carb now) just for more info and better understanding of health for both of us.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you measure anything else / did any of your other metrics improve?

The software for the E500 watch is called H Band{you can get a copy from any app store]

The watch an E500{their are other’s] is available from many sellers, look on AliExprsss for the lowest cost, you have to read the ads/posting for the details. You can find an E500 for less than $40.00 delivered on AliExprsss.

Attached below is a screenshot of the parameters H Band software measures/record’s.

The watch also preforms other functions that have nothing to do with health.

It is NOT an approved medical device.{And I DO NOT CARE what others on this forum comment about this watch].

For my use and data collections it is more than sufficient and accurate.

In my view you should{you do not have to] calibrate the software H Band to a blood pressure monitor and a blood glucose monitor to get accurate data.

For less than $40.00 this is a no brainer.

I have no financial interest in any company involved in the E500 watch.

I also bought that watch and I ran a CGM at the same time. The watch’s glucose values were no use to me.

It was quite good at spotting sleep and is otherwise quite good for a cheap watch. However, I am also not sure about the BP measurements.

Other metrics are affected by different things eg Ezetimibe lowering lipids, whilst this device is marketed as lowering BP.
Hence I only comment on the BP aspect, and with all other inputs (diet, exercise, supplements etc) largely unchanged this had no effect at all in lowering my BP even though I’ve managed to move up several levels.
N=1. It might work for others.

Got it, yeah, I mostly just meant the other specific metrics that they include on their own web page/marketing, eg:

  • lactate threshold
  • VO2 Max
  • Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
#111

Whats your age. Its important to know if Im reading about a 30 year old or 70 year old. Blood pressure reading for older folks is often higher.

I am 63 and diabetic, taking Metformin (500mg ER, 2x/day), Mounjaro (5mg/week) and Empagliflozin (10mg/day). Also Losartan 50mg 2x/day for BP.

#113

HRV is unchanged, I’ve never measured lactate threshold so couldn’t tell you, and you’ll have to wait another 6 months before I do another VO2 Max test, though I don’t think one could put any change here specifically down to a breath training device as mine has improved over time with the zone2 and HIIT training that I do.

A while back, he said that after NAD infusion, he no longer needed BP medication. I don’t know if that has changed.

FWIW

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide{NAD] infusions are expen$ive and the NAD does not get absorbed very well to be used by cell/tissue.

Just one treatment? Is useless

You would accomplish {measuring intracellular NAD increase] much more by oral nicicidimide, a percusser in the NAD cycle.

This has been discussed on this forum in another thread.

Review;

In my view, IV NAD is the “in” thing because it is very profitable for the people selling/offering the “service”/ product.

#119

I should have said infusions although I don’t exactly how it was dosed.

#120

FWIW

The following below I just copied today 04/29/2023 from a site selling NAD by IV infusion

Initial Infusion:

NAD+ 250mg IV over 90 minutes.

Price: $299

Full-Dose Follow-up:

NAD+ 500mg IV over 3 hours.

Price: $399

Maximum Dose NAD+:

NAD+ 1000mg over 5 hours.

Price: $599

You would accomplish more by taking 1,000mg of nicicidimide ever two hours all day over16 hours, 16g of oral nicicidimide. Than $599.00 for NAD+ 1000mg over 5 hours.

240 capsules of 500mg per capsules of pure nicicidimide cost $12.00

I read somewhere that this may have to do with the adrenal response as you stand up which is supposed to increase blood pressure to the brain. I used to get it often as a kid, but then it went away. “orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when standing or getting up)” according to this website: Adrenal insufficiency |

Anyone taking potassium chloride supplements to lower blood pressure? If so, has it worked? And what dose did you use?
