Can You Take L-Arginine and Olive Leaf Extract Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

L-Arginine lowers blood pressure through nitric oxide while olive leaf extract lowers BP via ACE inhibition and vasodilation. The combination may cause additive hypotension.

How to arrange timing

Monitor blood pressure when combining these two antihypertensive supplements.
