With February nearing, we turn our attention to heart health. Several of our supplements support the cardiovascular system.
Pycnogenol is a potent antioxidant that is extracted from the bark of a specific variety of pine tree in southern France. Studies have shown that Pycnogenol helps prevent damage that high blood pressure causes to the heart and is associated with improved cardiovascular health, such as cholesterol reduction, blood pressure control, and prevention of thrombosis.
Too-low levels of CoQ10 in the body have been associated with heart failure, high blood pressure, and chest pain. A CoQ10 supplement may be effective, depending on the cause of deficiency. Talk to your doctor.
No-Flush Niacin is a slowly absorbed form of vitamin B3 that conveys the heart-disease-fighting benefits without the side effect of flushing in the face. The amount of niacin needed should be discussed with your doctor.
Taking Odor-Reduced Garlic provides the heart-health benefits of eating garlic (effects on blood pressure, cholesterol, heart disease, and more) without the unpleasant odor. The low odor is accomplished by the encapsulation process of the capsules, not an artificial coating.
Weaver Street Market brand supplements are manufactured by a family-owned company with strict quality standards. As always, ask your doctor for recommendations about your health. And have a happy, heart-healthy February!
