Stress and blood pressure tend to travel together. A tense day at work, a bad night's sleep, and the numbers on the cuff creep up. Arteris Plus takes a gentle, plant based approach to that connection. It's a two capsule herbal formula the company created to help maintain healthy blood pressure levels while supporting your energy.
And the full label is published, which I always count as a plus.
The supplement facts panel, posted on the site's references page, lists two capsules per serving and 30 servings per bottle. Here's what each serving contains, along with what each herb is traditionally known for.
Passion flower, 290 mg. A climbing vine with striking purple flowers, used for generations as a calming herb. Today it's a popular choice for easing tension and supporting restful sleep.
Marshmallow root, 220 mg. Yes, the original source of the sweet. The root has been used since ancient times as a soothing herb, especially for the throat and stomach.
Corydalis lutea 4:1 extract, 200 mg. Corydalis plants have a place in traditional Chinese herbal practice, where they're valued for their relaxing qualities.
Prickly pear 20:1 extract, 100 mg. The fruit of the nopal cactus, a staple food in Mexico, which has been studied for its antioxidant and metabolic properties.
California poppy, 90 mg. The state flower of California, and a gentle traditional herb for relaxation and sleep.
The other ingredients are gelatin, magnesium stearate and rice flour.
A relaxation first approach
What I find interesting about Arteris Plus is the angle. Most heart formulas lean on minerals or garlic. This one is built mainly from calming botanicals. If daily stress is part of what's going on for you, a formula centered on passion flower and California poppy makes a lot of sense, and taking it in the evening could double as part of a wind down routine.
There's something appealing about a formula that respects how connected the body is. Feeling calmer tends to show up everywhere: in your sleep, your patience and your energy the next day. The company frames Arteris Plus around that link between a relaxed mind and a healthy heart.
The story behind it
The text version of the sales page comes from "John Mayers," a 58 year old from Philadelphia who describes himself as passionate about plants. He explains how he put the formula together and says it's suitable for adults from 40 to 80. The company also notes that each batch takes time to produce, so it's worth ordering enough if you plan to take it for a while.
The capsule format keeps things easy. Two a day with water, and a bottle lasts a month.
Price and refund
One bottle: $69
Three bottles: $177 ($59 each)
Six bottles: $294 ($49 each)
Shipping is free within the US, with fees for international orders. Checkout runs through ClickBank. The 60 day money back guarantee applies even if you've finished the bottle, which is a generous way to do it.
Making the most of it
I'd suggest pairing Arteris Plus with the everyday habits that matter most for heart health: a walk most days, less salt, more fruit and vegetables, and keeping alcohol modest. A home blood pressure cuff and your doctor will tell you far more than a bottle can.
Because these herbs are relaxing, they may make you a little drowsy, so see how you feel before driving. If you already take blood pressure medication, sleep aids or other prescriptions, or have liver concerns, talk with your doctor before starting. And please don't stop or change prescribed blood pressure medication on your own; talk to your doctor first.
An honest read of the label: three of the five herbs are sedating, and none is an established blood pressure treatment; feeling less stressed can lower a reading only temporarily. Corydalis alkaloids have been linked to cases of liver injury, so skip it with liver disease, and there are no studies on the formula itself. If you have high blood pressure, Arteris Plus shouldn't replace medication, less salt, activity or monitoring.
If winding down is part of your heart health plan, you can order from the official Arteris Plus site.
