Food supplements against cardiovascular diseases

Naturally occurring antioxidants protect against cardiovascular disease by lowering bad cholesterol levels, limiting atherosclerosis and thinning the blood. This is particularly true of curcumin, which, thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, reduces high blood pressure, inflammation and oxidative stress. The antioxidant action of pomegranate also cleanses the circulatory system, regenerates the blood and lowers bad cholesterol levels. The polyphenols in green tea prevent the intestinal absorption of cholesterol and the formation of blood clots. Astaxanthin protects the cardiovascular system by improving blood circulation, reducing blood pressure and balancing good and bad cholesterol. Finally, the vitamins B12, B6 and folic acid in Klamath algae contribute to the normal metabolism of homocysteine, an important cardiovascular risk marker.

Our food supplements for your cardiovascular health

Why use cardiovascular food supplements?

High blood pressure, venous insufficiency, atherosclerosis, cholesterol, atheromatous plaques, shortness of breath, tingling or anaemia are all disorders of the cardiovascular system. The heart can be weakened by several factors, such as a sedentary lifestyle, excess weight, poor diet, heredity or even smoking. To maintain a dynamic heart throughout life, it is therefore recommended to have a healthy lifestyle, a good diet and regular physical activity. However, the cardiovascular balance sometimes needs help to ensure optimal functioning. Cardiovascular food supplements with natural active ingredients help to keep your heart healthy.

Food supplements and a healthy and varied diet

Eating a varied diet, without excess, and favouring foods that are friendly to our arteries, are the foundations of a healthy diet for the cardiovascular system. From fruit rich in antioxidants to oily fish containing omega 3, via green leafy vegetables, there is a wide choice to compose a heart-healthy menu! Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, fruit and vegetables protect blood vessels and heart tissue. Oily fish help to lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol, and lower blood pressure. But our diet is not always rich enough in essential nutrients. It is therefore advisable to consume antioxidants in the form of food supplements to promote a good cardiovascular system: catechins (green tea), polyphenols (pomegranate), carotenoids (astaxanthin), vitamin B9 and omega 3 (klamath algae).

Anti-cholesterol food supplements: plants and active ingredients to be favoured

An unbalanced diet, stress or a sedentary lifestyle can lead to an increase in bad cholesterol levels. Taking antioxidant food supplements can therefore be of great help in preventing certain cardiovascular diseases. The polyphenols in pomegranate play a key role in stimulating the removal of cholesterol from the arteries. The catechins in green tea have the power to reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the gut and increase the good cholesterol. To optimise the benefits of these antioxidants, they can all be combined with Klamath seaweed, which provides essential amino acids and thus helps to normalise fat metabolism, in particular cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

What preventive actions against cardiovascular diseases?

It is now accepted that physical activity and diet can play a protective role against cardiovascular diseases. Many of them are in fact linked to diet: hyperlipidaemia (excessive levels of blood fats), hyperglycaemia (excessive levels of sugars in the blood) and high blood pressure. To protect your heart and blood vessels, you must first take care of your plate! So, give pride of place to oily fish rich in omega 3, seasonal fruit and vegetables, wholegrain cereals, oilseeds and vegetable oils. Your good cholesterol level will be all the better for it. Antioxidant food supplements are also essential in preventing cardiovascular disease. By fighting free radicals, they prevent the oxidation of fats that can be harmful to the blood vessels, and help to reduce the level of bad cholesterol in the blood.
