Supporting your Cardiovascular Health
There are many natural things that your body needs to maintain the health of the cardiovascular system as we age.

Elevated cholesterol levels and systemic inflammation are considered relevant risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) development and progression. Increasing evidence suggests that cholesterol-lowering and inflammation-lowering nutraceuticals are useful in the management of moderate hypercholesterolemia. 

There is a study looking at a supplement (that is not yet available) composed of a mixture of extracts of bergamot and olive fruits in association with vitamin K2 in subjects with mild hypercholesterolemia.

How could you include bergamot fruit (Citrus bergamia), flavonoid-rich extract of olive fruit (Olea europaea), and vitamin K2 in your daily routine?

Check this out... 

1. Bergamot vitality- is the flavor used in Earl Grey tea.  Bergamot Vitality may provide cardiovascular and general wellness support, and 1-2 drops can be added to a capsule and consumed. 

2.  Olive Essentials- supports overall wellbeing and a healthy heart with the power of olives. Olive leaf oil, hydroxytyrosol, and key premium essential oils like Rosemary Vitality and Parsley Vitality have been chosen for their immune support and internal cleansing properties

3. Vitamin K2-  Eat plenty of Kale, Spinach, or Broccoli.  You could also supplement with Super Cal Plus or Master Formula

4.  NingXia Red- features wolfberry, plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts.  These ingredients combine to help prevent oxidative stress, support normal cellular function, and promote healthy energy levels Consider adding a drop of Bergamot Vitality to 1 oz of NingXia Red.


Other supplements that I often recommend for cardiovascular support:

OmegaGize³® combines the power of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D3, and CoQ10 along with essential oils to support normal brain function and normal heart, eye, and joint health.

CardioGize™ supports healthy heart function with a blend of premium essential oils (including Angelica, Lavender, Cypress) and a heart-healthy combination of herbs (including hawthorne, garlic, CoQ10) to support blood circulation and the vascular system and promote a higher quality of life.
