Written by the BloodPril editorial team · Last updated · 7 min read · Medical review below

Quick answerTake 1 BloodPril capsule a day with an 8 oz glass of water. The label allows up to 2 capsules a day. The sales FAQ suggests the morning, before a meal. If you miss a dose, skip it and do not double up. If you take blood pressure medicine, ask your doctor before you start, and never change your prescription on your own.

The serving

How many BloodPril capsules should you take?

Take one capsule a day. The label reads: “As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule daily with an 8 oz. glass of water. May take up to two (2) capsules daily.”

One capsule holds the full 500 mg blend. Two capsules give 1,000 mg, which is the most the label allows. Never go past two. The caution panel says not to exceed the recommended dose.

Five steps

How do you take BloodPril, step by step?

The routine takes about a minute. The steps play on their own, or you can tap any one to read it.

Timing

What time of day should you take it?

Morning works well for most people. The sales FAQ suggests the morning, before a meal. The dial marks that window on a 24-hour clock.

12am6am12pm6pm1 capsulewith water
Morning, with water and before a meal, as the sales FAQ suggests. Same time daily helps you remember.

The exact hour matters less than a steady habit. Tie the capsule to something you already do each morning. If you work nights, treat your wake-up time as your morning.

People often ask about the best time to take L-arginine. No study we found compared morning with evening use for blood pressure. So treat the morning suggestion as the brand's advice, not a rule. If you take morning medicine, ask your pharmacist whether to space them apart.

One or two

Should you take one capsule or two?

Start with one capsule a day. The label allows a second, but more is not proven to do more. If you take blood pressure medicine, ask your doctor before adding a second capsule.

Each bottle holds 60 capsules. The 2, 3 and 6 bottle packs are the options on the sales page.

Doses in arginine trials were much larger, at 4 to 24 g a day (Dong et al., 2011). That is not a reason to take more capsules. The ingredients page explains what each capsule holds.

Situations

What should you do if something comes up?

Calm next steps for everyday situations. Your doctor's advice always comes first.

Safety

Can you take BloodPril with blood pressure medicine?

Medicine first

Only with your doctor's okay. Arginine and citrulline may add to blood pressure drugs, nitrates such as nitroglycerin, and sildenafil or tadalafil. Together they may drop pressure too low (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine) (WebMD, L-citrulline).

Never stop, skip or change prescribed medicine because of a supplement.

Bring the bottle to your next visit so your doctor can read the label. Also ask first if you have had a heart attack or have heart, kidney or liver disease. The same applies if you are pregnant or nursing, or have surgery coming up. Our article on supplements with blood pressure medicine has questions to bring.

Cuff log

How should you log your readings at home?

A simple log turns guesses into numbers. Use a validated upper-arm cuff. Sit quietly for a few minutes with your back supported, feet flat and arm at heart level (AHA, Home monitoring). Take readings at the same times each day. Copy the plan below into a notebook or your phone.

A simple home log plan. Write down both numbers, the date and the time for every reading.

A reading above 180/120 with chest pain, shortness of breath, back pain, numbness, weakness, vision change or trouble speaking needs 911 (AHA, Blood pressure readings). Our guide to checking blood pressure at home walks through cuff fit and posture.

Storage

How should you store the bottle?

Keep it cool and dry. The label says: “Keep away from heat, light, and humidity to preserve freshness. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not use if safety seal is damaged or missing.”

A kitchen cabinet away from the stove works well. Skip the bathroom, where showers make the air humid. Do not leave the bottle in a hot car.

Checklist

Your first-month checklist

Before and during the first month

  • Read the label on your own bottle, including the caution panel
  • Show the bottle to your doctor or pharmacist if you take any medicine
  • Log a week of home readings before your first capsule
  • Pick one morning cue, such as your first glass of water
  • Write down your order date so you know when day 60 falls
  • Keep taking every prescribed medicine exactly as directed

These small steps make the results timeline easier to judge. They also keep you inside the 60-day window if you decide it is not for you.
