Product Information:
Phytosterols are abundant in all plants, including fruits and vegetables. Phytosterols contains beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and brassicasterol. Researchers have known for 50 years that phytosterols can reduce blood cholesterol levels, and this characteristic is likely part of the reason why a diet rich n fruits and
vegetables reduces the risk of heart disease. Phytosterols block cholesterols absorption from foods and decrease the body’s resorption of cholesterol made in the liver. In one study appearing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people taking Phytosterols had an average 14.6% decrease in LDL cholesterol as well as a 9% decrease in triglycerides.
Garlic contains sulfur-based compounds known as allyl sulfides and other phytochemicals that studies show may lower serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, improve the ratio of beneficial and healthful high-density lipoproteins HDL cholesterol (beneficial) to LDL (harmful) cholesterol. Garlic appears to directly inhibit production of cholesterol by the liver and to enhance the excretion of cholesterol. Garlic also used to encourage blood vessel dilation and has other actions that regulate blood flow and fight high blood pressure.
Hawthorn contains beneficial nutrients that makes the heart a more efficient pump, resulting in stronger and healthier heart function and better blood flow throughout the body. Hawthorn has been found to be safe in clinical studies. The main benefits of Hawthorn:
Improves contraction of the heart muscle, making it more efficient in pumping blood out to the body
Improves ability of the heart to work efficiently during times of stress (such as exercise) by enhancing its utilization of oxygen and energy
Improves blood and nutrient flow throughout blood vessels
Improves circulation to the extremities of the body by lowering resistance to blood flow. This action decreases the workload of the heart
Soy is a mainstay of heart-healthy Asian diet, appears to improve plasma lipids, reduce LDL oxidation and improve vascular reactivity. Soy intake has been linked to favorable plasma cholesterol profile including reduced total and LDL cholesterol. A 23-trial meta-analysis confirmed the ability of soy and its isoflavones to lower serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triacylglycerol, and significantly increase HDL cholesterol. This concludes that dietary soy intake plays a protective role against cardiovascular disease.
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like antioxidant that helps lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure thus helping normal heart function. It’s also crucial in the production of ATP, which the body, especially the heart, needs for fuel. In heart failure and patients with cardiac disorders, the heart is starved for energy; therefore supplementing CoQ10 may help due to its role in energy production. Furthermore, thirty six controlled clinical trials with CoQ10 and heart disease have shown benefit. A University of Los Angeles review suggests that CoQ10 is a potent tool in prevention of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. In addition, vitamin E plus CoQ10 are more effective than either antioxidant alone at inhibiting heart disease.
Ginger was researched to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol by the body and enhance its excretion by encouraging the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids.
Vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant and it works together with vitamin E to block lipid peroxidation. It also helps “normalize endothelial vasodilative function in patients with heart failure”. Magnesium and potassium are minerals that affect blood pressure and their consumption is associated inversely with hypertension and may have several effects on lowering blood pressure. They encourage relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, decreasing peripheral resistance and, therefore, help to keep blood passageways open and blood flowing normally.
