Thank you Dr Joe. I had stomach bug and was prescribed an antibiotics which raised my blood pressure to dangerous levels. I stopped taking it and it took up to one week for my blood pressure to return to normal. Thank you for creating this awareness.
Thanks so much for this lecture I had to write down all you said in this video, sure that this video will help .May the Lord bless and keep you Dr Joe and thanks once again for sharing.
Good morning Dr Joe. All the video you put out since I subscribed or before that have been enormously helpful to me, and I can't thank you enough for your wonderful channel. Am so overwhelmed with impacts of knowledge I have been receiving from you, am bless to know you through this channel and I know I will overcome all the hurdles that BP brings along because I have great teacher like you to learn from. As always thanks isn't enough but is only word that I can utter, I will there is more words to express the gratitude and appreciation. God be with you and stay bless.
I just watched this video and can now understand why I had a spike with my bp. I was consuming green tea combined with moringa and bitter cocoa. My bp was 110/80 then later 130/90 but in a short while it increased to 160/100 which I didn't understand. I was thinking it will decrease because I was told green tea, moringa and bitter cocoa decreases bp, but it rather increased because of the caffeine in it which I didn't know till now. Thank you for this education . You have really saved me.

Writing in from Nigeria. I'm on Co micardis 80/12.5 and Atenolol 50 but I feel dehydrated, tired and sluggish. I suffer from insomnia, I take lexotan to sleep. I always resort to oral dehydration therapy ie ORS. I also suffer from migraine.
The problems you have outlined there would need a careful attention to sort them out at a later date. Not ones we can sort out here on youtube, Roseline.
Thank you so much..these meds go unnoticed. What surprised me was recently I found myself sleeping less and working hard, my housekeeper was on leave etc. My pressure went so high.. I am still in shock over how high it went. Does lack of sleep overly raise pressure? I was not taking caffeine or anything that I would think to raise it/ the only diet change was taking a new type of organic honey on toasted bread. Please elaborate on that as well. Also I am curious about the following: 1. What levels (points) of pressure - are raised with a cup of tea? 1 teabag (Lipton tea) or a spoon of coffee. 2. Is decaf really without caffeine or is it reduced caffeine? 3. Is your pressure raised when you drink less water during the day? 4. Is there a natural chemical in honey that raises pressure?
Deb, yes, lack of sleep does raise blood pressure. That's why I have a lot of videos on sleep on this channel. As for your question on Lipton. Lipton tea is black tea. Lipton is just a brand of black tea. It's not ideal for BP control. If you noticed I mentioned black tea in this video as an offender. Questions: 1. What levels (points) of pressure - are raised with a cup of tea? 1 teabag (Lipton tea) or a spoon of coffee. Answer: It varies from person to person, so not easy to give you a ballpark figure. Caffeine-sensitive individuals like myself can have top reading (systolic) go up by as much as 15 - 20 points after consuming caffeine. 2. Is decaf really without caffeine or is it reduced caffeine? Answer: No, decaf does not mean Zero caffeine. It's just got 90 - 95% less caffeine. 3. Is your pressure raised when you drink less water during the day? Answer: Yes. Dehydration will raise your BP 4. Is there a natural chemical in honey that raises pressure? Answer: Not necessarily but honey contains sugar and sugar is not good for BP control

Good evening Dr Joe, you are doing a great job. God bless you real good. You are yet to send a video on treatment for eye problems especially blurred vision. Thanks.
Ifeoluwa, one or two BP medications can potentially do that. Not many. Just a few. The thiazide class of medications potentially can raise your blood sugar. An example is bendroflumethiazide.

Hi Doc !! thanks a lot for sharing good news on frequently consumed foods without much awareness,,,especially varieties of tea,,,glad to follow you being a dietitian.
White coat hypertension is phenomenon that occurs in the presence of a medical personnel. It is real and it's caused by anxiety. Your BP will be normal at home, yet 15 minutes later at the doctor's office, it's high. Get back home, BP is normal again. That's typical white coat hypertension
Excellent info. Please could you do a video on intermittent fasting and hbp. I've seen many people asking why their bp has risen since starting IF. There doesn't seem to be any answers on this problem. On the 5:2 diet forum there's a lot of people who are looking for answers to this. Could you maybe shed some light on it. Thank you.
@@drjoetvMD that will be interesting. I wondered if some people have too much of a stress response to fasting thus causing high cortisol and so higher bp?
Thx Dr Joe, Am 29yrs of age,58kg my BP is 170/100, I came to know about it 10yrs bck when I was still in school but I didn't take medication,I have started taking medicine but it doesn't go down,any advise for me.thx
Bob, reducing your BP naturally requires commitment. There are several methods to adopt. Go through my channels and watch the videos related to high blood pressure. Take notes and start implementing. Your BP will respond if you are consistent
I watched your video that helped to reduce high blood pressure by drinking celery juice first thing in the morning. Right now I am on my 5th day of drinking celery juice and i have not seen any change. Could it be the food I eat? Thanks
Tajudeen, celery juice is not a miracle juice and I don't want you to view it as one. There are so many factors why it may not work for you not least you doing things that may sabotage your BP reduction efforts. What you eat, your starting BP, your genetics, your level of physical activity, your sleep, using caffeinated products etc. And of course no product works for everybody. Not even conventional Big Pharma medications
Dr. Joe, thanks for being a gift to us. My BP is sometimes high as 140/80 and it comes with headache and dizziness. However, upon doing the deep breathing exercise, it came down to 118/83 still feeling the headache and dizziness. What can I do about it? Thanks
If it is due to your blood pressure, the headache will resolve after an hour or two seeing as your blood pressure is now quite normal. If it persists, then you may want to talk to your doctor about it to rule out other possible problems
@@drjoetvMD Yes I am seeing improvement since I started following other guidance you are given and drink plenty of water with much sleep. But please do habbiscus tea have caffeine? Thanks a lot Dr Joe
I love following your videos, very informative. Thank you so much and God bless you Dr. Joe. I would love if you will research and talk about topical application and inhalation of some essential oils and if they have effect on blood pressure and anxiety. I am asking this because most of us ladies may use store bought products for their hair with some of these essential oils in either high or medium concentration or do a DIY hair product with some of these essential oils and would have to leave it on the scalp for a while. I want to know how and if it does affect blood pressure or heighten anxiety. Few of the essential oils are Rosemary, Peppermint, Teatree, Basil, Sage, Clary sage, Neroli, Yarrow, Chamomile etc. I have experienced heightened anxiety after use of a strong scented oil but had thought about it before it happened so I am not sure if it's the oil or my thoughts that premeditated it. Thank you.
Is bitter orange just the rinds of oranges? I have been dehydrating orange rinds and putting approximately 1/2 tsp in my smoothies as a source of vitamin C. Using both cutie and regular oranges. But I do have hypertension. Should I stop?
Dr. Joe if I have hereditary high cholesterol what else can I do , I've been doing smoothie with oatmeal and flax seed , banana..been doing this 4 months , went for blood work and everything is higher . HELP
If you're doing all of those things and not eating red meat, egg yolks, coconut oil, butter, lard, ghee, palm oil, cheese etc then I suggest you need Big Pharma help. Your situation is unique. You have a hereditary condition that makes you metabolize cholesterol poorly leading to higher levels. You are lacking an enzyme that helps move cholesterol through the proper channels. So in your case you are swimming against the tide. Dietary manipulation might not be enough for you
Thank you so much. I've been trying to lower this on my own , lost 10 pounds, walk every day, no dairy products, no processed food, but I guess if you have in your blood line then it's time to let my doctor do her job. Again !!thank you
I am 71 and have high BP problems. I can give up anything, but I am German and need at least once or twice a month some Sauerkraut and a beer. Would that be alright? Living in USA I am already deprived of so much food I love. I am already stressing about this new loss.
@@drjoetvMD Thank you. Once a month then. I have looked with desperation for help and just discovered your Tips on the Nitric Dump Exercises - I will start it and with dietary changes/additions maybe I can lick this problem. I don't even take an aspirin and refuse to take BP medication. I have until Jan 5 2021 to my next check-up . I'll monitor my BP and keep logs. I will hopefully be able to send you a good report of success. Thank you for giving me hope and the werewithals.
Dr Joe thanks for this info I'm taking one off those pills for inflammation and pain it's called celecoxib and my pressure went up and I thought it was something to do with my salt intake plus I was drinking a cup off green tea in the morning with lemon wow u open my eyes today because I normally have good pressure even at the age off 55yrs old thank God my pill is for short term because I had rotary cuff surgery almost 3 wks now thank u again
Dr. Joe. I'm taking Metxl50 for past 3 yrs. My bp is 110/145 avg. But i think thats my number. Coz i dont have any stress & anxiety now. Doctor says to still continue it. I'm tired and want to get rid of the tablets. Is it advisable?or should i reduce dose to Metxl25. Please suggest. Thanks for your wonderful videos. Much love 💓
No, you shouldn't reduce your BP medication(s) all by yourself, Rajesh. It's got to be a joint decision between you and your doctor. To get rid of your tablets will require some work on your part. Adopting a couple of natural methods, sticking with them consistently and over time, you may come off your meds as your BP gets better. But it requires a commitment. Check out my BP reduction videos on this channel
If you’re on blood pressure medication and your blood pressure reading is 104 over 67 what should you do I’m suffering with high blood pressure I am on Amlodipine 10mg
Hi Dr Joe please sorry to ask so much questions. Please I recently realized my blood pressure going up expecially the bottom number. I have an appointment to go see my doctor but in the meantime what do you suggest.
Baby Face, I have quite a number of videos that address high blood pressure issues on this channel. Please scroll through and watch the relevant videos. Takes notes and more importantly start implementing what you learn. Adopt as many methods as you are comfortable with. If you are consistent, you will begin to see results
@@drjoetvMD Thanks so much for your reply. I have been avoiding taking the meds for a year but now my bp is reading into 212/130, so I have decided to take the meds and continue with lifestyle change until I get it down. Cholesterol is fine but I will also check the blood sugar level as per your video. I cannot thank you enough. God bless.
@@sophiaborrowdale2795 Hi Sofiya, thanks a lot for your suggestions. I started taking the meds about three weeks ago and my bp has come down considerably (139/90). I will also try your suggestions and see what happens. A pint of celery juice is a lot (lol). I have gone off coffee for a while and am exercising more now. Thanks again!
@@sophiaborrowdale2795 Dear Sofiya, to say thank you to you is pretty small in describing my appreciation to you for this tips. I am super grateful. I have now watched the video and it is FANTASTIC! (BTW. I gave a shout out to you for recommending it!). You have given me so much helpful information, I believe I can use this to do further research and also start working on my nutrition. Thank you for taking the time to write all this! Thank you! May God bless you immensely. I am a big believer that what you give will surely come back to you in a bigger fold. That's my prayer for you. Have a lovely day!
Hi Dr Joe, i'm diabetic and i'm too sleam to loose more weight also i'm confused as too much of vegetables given me diahrea. Please what can i eat to look normal and to get off my diabbetic consuption. I'm on metformin 1000mg. Thank you N God bless
Ebenezer, surely there must be vegetables that won't cause you diarrhoea. It's about looking for the ones that you can tolerate. You may need to go through a process of elimination to find a good fit for you. A couple of veggies that your bowel can handle. How does your bowel react with broccoli for instance?
Hi Dr. Joe, I have been following your videos... Thank u so much for the information you give on your videos.My BP is always 155/104 or 146/100 ... With medicine. I am having monticope every night for Renitize..because otherwise I sneeze continuosly..... Will antihistamine be a cause of my BP. I am 49yrs old . Please reply.
Thanks for another great video Dr. Joe. Most anti-biotics and medication cause the bp to rise if used on long-term basis. Grateful for the list so we can be aware.
Hello...I always thought Tofu was actually healthy for high BP. Also what do you think about Soy Milk.....? I consume it because im lactose intolerant. thank you ..Doc.
I think you got it wrong there. I am not saying Tofu is bad for your BP per see. But if you are taking certain medications like Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) or herbal preparations like St John's Wort, that's when Tofu becomes an issue because of the interaction between Tofu and those pills. Tofu has tyramine just like some Soy sauces. So unless you are taking MAOIs or St John's Wort, then you shouldn't worry about Tofu or Soy products

Yes, St John's Wort would potentially elevate your blood pressure. Wellbutrin also has had cases of hypertension reported in the literature too. It doesn't happen to every user but the potential is there
Got another interesting question, These Substances that may raise high blood pressure are only found in Pills that you swallow? Let's say I have an ointment/cream for my hair or face with a mentioned substance, is it best to avoid it?
It's mainly oral medications. You could get away with ointments and creams although it depends on the cream. A lot of creams and ointments work "skin-deep". Meaning very little of it is absorbed into your bloodstream. But there are some like hormone gels that get absorbed a lot more into the bloodstream. So it depends on the type...
Yes, it's possible that stress may be responsible. On the other hand, maybe you haven't got your BP under good control just yet. Of course, managing stress and anxiety is all part of the deal too
Hi dr joe, what is the best way to stay hydrated and get your electrolytes, it seems water does not have everything you need, what about powerade or Gatorade?
Jim, you want to stay away from those drinks called Powerade and Gatorade. They are the drinks that are killing us softly. Too full of sugar. Best avoided. I shall be doing videos that will explain how these drinks are making us sick soon. No, avoid them. Drink water and caffeine-free herbal teas. You can easily get minerals from fruits and vegetables.
@@drjoetvMD unfortunately i am not getting really any fruits and vegetables right now, and was recently dehydrated, they said to get more electrolytes, more then i can get from water, not sure how to do that
Thank you Dr Joe for all the advice/info in health/foods/medications and exercises.
Thumbs Up.
Glad you like them!

I would love if you will research and talk about topical application and inhalation of some essential oils and if they have effect on blood pressure and anxiety.
I am asking this because most of us ladies may use store bought products for their hair with some of these essential oils in either high or medium concentration or do a DIY hair product with some of these essential oils and would have to leave it on the scalp for a while.
I want to know how and if it does affect blood pressure or heighten anxiety.
Few of the essential oils are
Rosemary, Peppermint, Teatree, Basil, Sage, Clary sage, Neroli, Yarrow, Chamomile etc.
I have experienced heightened anxiety after use of a strong scented oil but had thought about it before it happened so I am not sure if it's the oil or my thoughts that premeditated it.
Thank you.
Will consider it. Thanks
Wow thank you Doctor I realize that after taking the pill I starting getting problems
You're welcome, Grace
Crazzie assai del vidio tutto quello che dice dottore mia succeso ha me con le pinoli mi aumetava la pressione piu alta thanks

Is bitter orange just the rinds of oranges? I have been dehydrating orange rinds and putting approximately 1/2 tsp in my smoothies as a source of vitamin C. Using both cutie and regular oranges. But I do have hypertension. Should I stop?
Bitter orange is a different kind of orange. Not rinds from your regular orange
Dr.Joe I have problem sleeping as well I don't know what to do. Please I need your help, thanks. I love your videos it so informative 🙏❤
I shall re-visit sleep as a topic soon. In the meantime, watch this th-cam.com/video/YMsAQtumFho/w-d-xo.html
Dr Joe in the building,thanks a million.
You're welcome, Patricia
Dr. Joe if I have hereditary high cholesterol what else can I do , I've been doing smoothie with oatmeal and flax seed , banana..been doing this 4 months , went for blood work and everything is higher . HELP
If you're doing all of those things and not eating red meat, egg yolks, coconut oil, butter, lard, ghee, palm oil, cheese etc then I suggest you need Big Pharma help. Your situation is unique. You have a hereditary condition that makes you metabolize cholesterol poorly leading to higher levels. You are lacking an enzyme that helps move cholesterol through the proper channels. So in your case you are swimming against the tide. Dietary manipulation might not be enough for you
Louise, please make sure your weight is under control too. Excess body fat is not helpful
Thank you so much. I've been trying to lower this on my own , lost 10 pounds, walk every day, no dairy products, no processed food, but I guess if you have in your blood line then it's time to let my doctor do her job. Again !!thank you
Dr.Joe I’m on Prozac but only 10mg. I’m working on not taking more.
Good
What brand of Moringa do you used please.
The same one I showed in the video, Daisy
Pls sir is Lipton yellow label tea a black tea ?
Yes Lipton tea is a green tea variant
I am 71 and have high BP problems. I can give up anything, but I am German and need at least once or twice a month some Sauerkraut and a beer. Would that be alright? Living in USA I am already deprived of so much food I love. I am already stressing about this new loss.
If you feel it's an absolute necessity, then go for it. After all, your mental health is also important
@@drjoetvMD Thank you. Once a month then. I have looked with desperation for help and just discovered your Tips on the Nitric Dump Exercises - I will start it and with dietary changes/additions maybe I can lick this problem. I don't even take an aspirin and refuse to take BP medication. I have until Jan 5 2021 to my next check-up . I'll monitor my BP and keep logs. I will hopefully be able to send you a good report of success. Thank you for giving me hope and the werewithals.
@@weissblau My pleasure
Dr Joe ....Ringing in ears Tinitus....This problem is not Going Away...Headache is gone Bcz of BP ...What are the natural Treatment For Tinitus....
That's a subject for another video, Keshab
Dr Joe thanks for this info I'm taking one off those pills for inflammation and pain it's called celecoxib and my pressure went up and I thought it was something to do with my salt intake plus I was drinking a cup off green tea in the morning with lemon wow u open my eyes today because I normally have good pressure even at the age off 55yrs old thank God my pill is for short term because I had rotary cuff surgery almost 3 wks now thank u again
I'm glad you found the information useful, Shirone
Dr. Joe. I'm taking Metxl50 for past 3 yrs. My bp is 110/145 avg. But i think thats my number. Coz i dont have any stress & anxiety now. Doctor says to still continue it. I'm tired and want to get rid of the tablets. Is it advisable?or should i reduce dose to Metxl25. Please suggest. Thanks for your wonderful videos. Much love 💓
No, you shouldn't reduce your BP medication(s) all by yourself, Rajesh. It's got to be a joint decision between you and your doctor. To get rid of your tablets will require some work on your part. Adopting a couple of natural methods, sticking with them consistently and over time, you may come off your meds as your BP gets better. But it requires a commitment. Check out my BP reduction videos on this channel
If you’re on blood pressure medication and your blood pressure reading is 104 over 67 what should you do
I’m suffering with high blood pressure I am on Amlodipine 10mg
Joyce, that's a perfect BP reading. You don't need to do anything. 104/67 is a fantastic reading
Hello there. You are really amazing.
Be careful with your blood pressure guys. It can lead to CKD.
Thank you, Katherine
Please what is CKD?
Chronic Kidney Disease.
@@osagieomos4388 Chronic Kidney Disease
@@00kidney Thanks
Hi Dr Joe please sorry to ask so much questions.
Please I recently realized my blood pressure going up expecially the bottom number. I have an appointment to go see my doctor but in the meantime what do you suggest.
Baby Face, I have quite a number of videos that address high blood pressure issues on this channel. Please scroll through and watch the relevant videos. Takes notes and more importantly start implementing what you learn. Adopt as many methods as you are comfortable with. If you are consistent, you will begin to see results
Hello and thanks for your work. Can I ask if you personally use high blood pressure meds?
Not anymore, Precious. That was my driving force. To get out of the medication never ending loop
@@drjoetvMD Thanks so much for your reply. I have been avoiding taking the meds for a year but now my bp is reading into 212/130, so I have decided to take the meds and continue with lifestyle change until I get it down. Cholesterol is fine but I will also check the blood sugar level as per your video. I cannot thank you enough. God bless.
@@lifeis4living_ With blood pressure readings like that, you certainly will need your meds
@@sophiaborrowdale2795 Hi Sofiya, thanks a lot for your suggestions. I started taking the meds about three weeks ago and my bp has come down considerably (139/90). I will also try your suggestions and see what happens. A pint of celery juice is a lot (lol). I have gone off coffee for a while and am exercising more now. Thanks again!
@@sophiaborrowdale2795 Dear Sofiya, to say thank you to you is pretty small in describing my appreciation to you for this tips. I am super grateful. I have now watched the video and it is FANTASTIC! (BTW. I gave a shout out to you for recommending it!). You have given me so much helpful information, I believe I can use this to do further research and also start working on my nutrition. Thank you for taking the time to write all this! Thank you! May God bless you immensely. I am a big believer that what you give will surely come back to you in a bigger fold. That's my prayer for you. Have a lovely day!
Hi Dr Joe, i'm diabetic and i'm too sleam to loose more weight also i'm confused as too much of vegetables given me diahrea. Please what can i eat to look normal and to get off my diabbetic consuption. I'm on metformin 1000mg. Thank you N God bless
Ebenezer, surely there must be vegetables that won't cause you diarrhoea. It's about looking for the ones that you can tolerate. You may need to go through a process of elimination to find a good fit for you. A couple of veggies that your bowel can handle. How does your bowel react with broccoli for instance?
Hi dr joi
Am babu from india, your exercise very use full am following
Thank you
@@drjoetvMD hi dr I have chest cold give suggestions please
Thank u
You're welcome, Linda
Hi Dr. Joe, I have been following your videos... Thank u so much for the information you give on your videos.My BP is always 155/104 or 146/100 ... With medicine. I am having monticope every night for Renitize..because otherwise I sneeze continuosly..... Will antihistamine be a cause of my BP. I am 49yrs old . Please reply.
Looks like monticope is probably fine. It's not contributing to your hypertension
@@drjoetvMD Thanks so much for the reply.
Thanks for another great video Dr. Joe. Most anti-biotics and medication cause the bp to rise if used on long-term basis. Grateful for the list so we can be aware.
You're welcome, Ann
Thank you so much,😳 that will help my husband 🙏
You're welcome, Hiyam
Hello...I always thought Tofu was actually healthy for high BP. Also what do you think about Soy Milk.....? I consume it because im lactose intolerant.
thank you ..Doc.
I think you got it wrong there. I am not saying Tofu is bad for your BP per see. But if you are taking certain medications like Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) or herbal preparations like St John's Wort, that's when Tofu becomes an issue because of the interaction between Tofu and those pills. Tofu has tyramine just like some Soy sauces. So unless you are taking MAOIs or St John's Wort, then you shouldn't worry about Tofu or Soy products
@@drjoetvMD ok......Doc. yeah I did miss understand....! thank you.
Dr...amlodipine...labatelol micardis furosemide🙄🙄 takin all the above presdure stil unstable
Then you need to do some more work on your BP

Hello Doctor how to cured detention water?
Not sure I understand your question
Thank u 4 the in4mation i took cold meds that raise my bp
Yes, they do, Linda
Your list is very comprehensive. I think you left that energy drinks that contain caffeine or other stimulants.
I probably did, Ellen
Thx
You're welcome
Does hbp has something to do with blood group sir, like am 0 negative, alot of things that works for others dont work for me😢
High BP has got absolutely nothing to do with Blood Group. Sorry
True....true..............true..............
Thank you, Kathleen
🇳🇬 great channel brother. Subscribed
Thank you, Ed. And welcome aboard
Dr Joe, so would St John’s Wort also raise blood pressure. Also do you know if Wellbutrin extended release raise your blood pressure?
Yes, St John's Wort would potentially elevate your blood pressure. Wellbutrin also has had cases of hypertension reported in the literature too. It doesn't happen to every user but the potential is there
Got another interesting question, These Substances that may raise high blood pressure are only found in Pills that you swallow? Let's say I have an ointment/cream for my hair or face with a mentioned substance, is it best to avoid it?
It's mainly oral medications. You could get away with ointments and creams although it depends on the cream. A lot of creams and ointments work "skin-deep". Meaning very little of it is absorbed into your bloodstream. But there are some like hormone gels that get absorbed a lot more into the bloodstream. So it depends on the type...
Without taking any of these medicine, sometimes my diastolic pressure gets high. Dr Joe can it be just for anxiety or stress?
Yes, it's possible that stress may be responsible. On the other hand, maybe you haven't got your BP under good control just yet. Of course, managing stress and anxiety is all part of the deal too
Dr Joe , I have high blood pressure, is chocolate good for me.
90% dark chocolate is fine but not the others
Hi dr joe, what is the best way to stay hydrated and get your electrolytes, it seems water does not have everything you need, what about powerade or Gatorade?
Jim, you want to stay away from those drinks called Powerade and Gatorade. They are the drinks that are killing us softly. Too full of sugar. Best avoided. I shall be doing videos that will explain how these drinks are making us sick soon. No, avoid them. Drink water and caffeine-free herbal teas. You can easily get minerals from fruits and vegetables.
Coconut water is also good for hydration!
@@drjoetvMD unfortunately i am not getting really any fruits and vegetables right now, and was recently dehydrated, they said to get more electrolytes, more then i can get from water, not sure how to do that
@@remnantfewministriesminist495 i actually tried coconut water i couldn't drink it, to me it tastes awful.
@@jimkline6285 Lol! I agree! My daughter loves it but I mix mine with my smoothie...delicious!
