CELERY SEED POWDER (APIUM GRAVEOLENS) contains
3-n-butylphthalide (3nB), a compound unique to celery that has been
clinically shown to lower blood pressure.1
Subsequent animal studies found that a very small
amount of 3nB lowered blood pressure by 12 to 14 percent and also lowered
cholesterol by about 7 percent. It appears to have a similar effect in humans.2
Celery seed contains boron, calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamins a, B-complex, and
C.3
It also contains Apigenin, an ingredient that contributes to healthy
blood pressure and acts as an anti-inflammatory for the heart and arteries.4
HAWTHORN BERRY (CRATAEGUS OXYACANTHA) protects arterial walls from damage caused
by the build up of plaque.5 The bioflavonoids in Hawthorn berry help
the heart muscle pump more efficiently while increasing the strength of heart
muscle contractions and normalizing irregular heart beat.6
Additionally, Hawthorn berry is utilized to reduce angina by aiding blood flow
to and from the heart more easily.7 It supports the routine
action of the body to block the action of a blood constricting enzyme called ACE
(angiotensin-converting enzyme)8
Following a report by the German Federal Ministry of Health, Hawthorn has
gained full recognition as a heart remedy in Europe.9
CHAMOMILE (FLOWERS) standardized to one percent Apigenin lowers anxiety and
stress which is one of the major contributors to high blood pressure.10 Chamomile
helps to regulate or normalize blood pressure because of its strong calming
effect.11
Like celery seed, Apigenin is also one of the constituents of Chamomile
and acts as an anti-inflammatory for the heart and arteries.12
GINKGO BILOBA LEAF EXTRACT (guaranteed 28.8 mg 24% Flavo-glycosides) has been
shown to be effective against oxygen deprivation of the heart muscle.13
Studies have demonstrated this herb is a natural anti-oxidant and supports
cardiac health.14
One of Ginkgo biloba's most important active ingredients, ginkgolide, has
been clinically shown to be just as effective as standard pharmaceutical drugs
in treating irregular heart beats.15
Studies also indicate that Ginkgo biloba can assist the body's ability to reduce
blood 'stickiness', thus lowering the risk of blood clots.16
COLEUS FORSKOHLII ROOT (18% forskolin extract) has been shown to lower blood
pressure and improve heart function by relaxing arteries and smooth muscles of
the heart.17
Forskolin may also help dilate blood vessels and improve the forcefulness with
which the heart pumps blood. A preliminary trial found that forskolin reduced
blood pressure and improved heart function in people with cardiomyopathy.18
Studies further demonstrated forskolin to have
cardiovascular benefits due to its inotropic19, anti-inflammatory20
and anti-platelet properties.21
COENZYME Q 10 (UBIQUINONE) is a naturally occurring nutrient clinically shown to
lower blood pressure quite effectively.22 Documented studies showed
that CoQ10 was more effective and safer than the use of anti-hypertensive drugs.23
