THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM - The Center of Life

The circulatory system transports food, oxygen, and water to every system of the body through an intricate network of nearly 60,000 miles blood vessels. It consists primarily of the heart, which pumps more than 2,000 gallons through its chambers each day; blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to parts of the body; and lymphatic system.

Common Concerns:
  • Cholesterol/triglyceride buildup
  • Hypertension
  • Arterial plaque
  • Stress
  • Poor circulation
  • Heart disease
  • How can you maintain a healthy circulatory system? Most experts agree that the keys are to avoid smoking, monitor your diet, exercise regularly and manage stress.

    CIRCULATORY SYSTEM PRODUCTS:

    GARLIC, HIGH POTENCY
    Garlic is powerful remedy for the circulatory system. It can lower blood pressure and help remove plaque from arterial walls, thus lowering cholesterol levels. It also has anti-clotting abilities that may help prevent heart attacks.

    GINKGO & HAWTHORN COMBINATION
    These two herbs (Ginkgo biloba extract and hawthorn berry extract) promote increased circulation and heart strength. Researchers in Germany conducted a randomized, controlled study and found that hawthorn extract can improve heart function in people suffering from chronic heart disease. Hawthorn patients also reported fewer overall symptoms, less fatigue and less shortness of breath. Ginkgo dilates blood vessels and bronchioles to improve circulation and oxygenation of cells. It also has scientifically proven nervous-system benefits.

    GRAPINE®, HIGH POTENCY
    Grapine is the NSP trademarked name for grape seed extract and (maritime) pine bark. These substances contain high amounts of proanthocyandins--powerful antioxidants that help prevent cell damage by quenching oxidative free radicals. This combination of antioxidant nutrients has been shown to be many times more powerful than vitamin C or E. Proanthocyandins also improves the integrity of collagen fibers, strengthening tissues in the skin, blood vessels, muscles, cartilage and other connective tissues.

    CHOLESTER-REG (Hongqu)
    Hongqu is a concentrated powder extract of fermented red rice that helps the body regulate cholesterol. Eight-week clinical studies of Chinese red rice extract show that it helped clinically control blood cholesterol levels in 52.2 percent of participants. Another 27.5 percent found that it was highly effective in controlling cholesterol levels. Additionally, 13.6 percent said red rice was effective. Only 6.8 percent of participants found the extract was not effective in controlling blood cholesterol levels. Hongqu also contains important antioxidants, vitamin C and lemon bioflavonioids. This product is for adults only

    VARI-GONE
    NSP has combined six powerful herbs and nutrients that work together to fortify and nourish the overall health of veins. This formula improves vein appearances and supports optimal blood circulation, thereby relieving fluid congestion in the legs and minimizing the occurrence of damaged or weakened vessels that obstruct proper circulation. Its nutrients improve the strength, tone and function of the veins. Continued use may improve hemorrhoidal conditions and minimize the appearance of varicose and spider veins. Contains horse chestnut, butcher's broom, flavonoids (rutin, hesperidin and lemon bioflavonoids) and ascorbic acid. Take one or two capsules twice daily with a meal.

    MEGA-CHEL
    This high-potency vitamin and mineral supplement contains herbs, amino acids and other nutrients designed to benefit the circulatory system. Amino acid-chelated minerals in Mega-Chel help remove plaque from arterial walls, making this product a vital program for victims of arteriosclerosis.

    LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL
    Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that harnesses the sun's energy in a process called photosynthesis. Chlorophyll helps prevent odor and acts as an antimutagen. Chlorophyll performs metabolic functions in plants such as respiration and growth. Nature's Sunshine derives its magnesium-rich Liquid Chlorophyll from only the finest alfalfa plants and adds fresh spearmint oil. Mix with water and drink several times daily.

    FLAX SEED OIL
    Flax Seed Oil is derived from plant sources rich in omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) believed to reduce the risk of heart disease. NSP's Flax Seed Oil contains twice as much omega-3 as found in fish oil products that may leave you with an unpleasant "fishy" aftertaste. Flax Seed Oil comes in 1 g softgel capsules containing 550 mg of omega-3 essential fatty acids.

    CAPSICUM [Digestive,Circulatory, Glandular]
    Aptly described as the plant that bites back, is a common condiment in certain diets. The plant grows in warm climates and is added to many herbal formulas as a catalyst for the other herbs. Its red color is partly due to its high vitamin A content. Vitamin A is essential for normal vision, growth, cellular activity, reproduction and healthy immunity.
    Capsicum influences blood flow (just watch someone’s face when they eat a food with lots of it), which makes it food for the circulatory system. Each capsule contains 520 mg capsicum.
