I have read the lit that states it raises BP a couple points if taken in the morning. I would prefer to take it with food and I don't typically eat before bed.
Enteric-coated aspirin can be taken on an empty stomach with no worries about stomach ulcers and bleeding as the coating does not dissolve in the stomach but in the PH of the small intestine. It's most effective taken before bedtime not with a meal in the morning. I have been doing it for 29 yrs.
No, I got a deal and some in my family are convinced (placebic value) so I humor them. It's there and I got a good price on bulk soft gels, so I bought it. Google "Q-cycle."
The idea of taking aspirin when you do not need to is mad, because it thins out your blood. Trust me, as a hypertension patient. You are truly a madman! (Sometimes this is how I imagine dest).
