Clock This-

"Your genes load the gun, but your smoothie pulls the trigger."

High blood pressure isn’t just about salt or stress—it’s about how your melanin interacts with nutrients, toxins, and nitric oxide pathways. This fasting-friendly smoothie combines 7 clinically proven ingredients to:

Clocked- Drop BP within hours (thanks to nitric oxide surge).

Clocked- Reverse arterial stiffness (with plaque-busting polyphenols).

Clocked- Detox heavy metals (critical for melanin-dominant individuals).

(Bonus: Every ingredient is ancestrally validated and available at U.S. grocery stores.)

🍹 THE RECIPE (Fasting-Approved)

Base Liquid:

2 cups hibiscus tea (Hibiscus sabdariffa – lowers systolic BP by 11.7 mmHg in 6 weeks (J. Nutrition 2019)).

Blend Together:

½ cup pomegranate seeds (reduces carotid artery thickness (Atherosclerosis, 2021)).

2 celery stalks (lowers BP via 3-n-butylphthalide (Phytomedicine, 2023)).

1 cup spinach (dietary nitrates → nitric oxide boost (J. Nutrition, 2022)).

1-inch ginger knob (anti-inflammatory gingerols (J. Ethnopharmacology, 2023)).

Supplements to Stir In:

L-Arginine (5g) + L-Citrulline (3g) → 40% more nitric oxide (J. Amer. Heart Assoc., 2020).

Magnesium Glycinate (300mg) → relaxes arteries (Hypertension, 2022).

Potassium Citrate (500mg) → counters sodium-induced stiffness (J. Clin. Hypertension, 2021).

Beetroot Powder (1 tbsp) → instant NO boost.

Optional Emergency Boost:

1 tbsp garlic paste (lowers BP 10 mmHg in 24 hours (Integr. Blood Press. Control, 2021)).

🔥 MELANIN-SPECIFIC TWEAKS

For Eumelanin-Dominant (Fitzpatrick IV-VI):

Add:

1 tsp chlorella (binds cadmium/lead (J. Toxicol, 2021)).

1 tbsp cilantro (mercury detox (J. Environ. Sci. Health, 2020)).

Avoid beetroot if ferritin >150 ng/mL (iron overload risk).

For Pheomelanin-Dominant (Fitzpatrick I-III):

Add:

1 tsp MSM powder (sulfur rescue for UV damage (Free Radic. Biol. Med, 2022)).

½ cup blueberries (anthocyanins protect skin (J. Invest. Dermatol, 2021)).

Skip pomegranate if glutathione is low (too oxidative).

For Neuromelanin Focus (Parkinson’s/Depression):

Add:

1 tbsp black seed oil (repairs blood-brain barrier (Phytomedicine, 2023)).

1 tsp lion’s mane powder (neurogenesis boost (J. Neurochem, 2022)).
