Good Infographic on supplements

Yesterday I went to the dentist for a cleaning and they took my blood pressure. Once again it was high.  It's always high but this time it crossed my mind to maybe do something about it.  How that actually works is I ask Gina and she tells me what I should be doing.  I trust her completely in this area and know she recommend something practical and healthy.  While all that was going on in my head I recalled this chart..

Here is a description of the chart:
"This image is a “balloon race”. The higher a bubble, the greater the evidence for its effectiveness. But the supplements are only effective for the conditions listed inside the bubble.  
You might also see multiple bubbles for certain supplements. This is because some supplements affect a range of conditions, but the evidence quality varies from condition to condition. For example, there’s strong evidence that Green Tea is good for cholesterol levels. But evidence for its anti-cancer effects is conflicting. In these cases, we give a supp another bubble."
