Blood Pressure/Cholesterol Reduction Support
Herbal Extracts Plus has selected the finest quality botanical extracts for our Blood Pressure / Cholesterol Reduction Support, which is a blend of two all-natural plant extracts that have been used to support the body's own ability to trigger various mechanisms that can help reduce serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, as well as reduce blood pressure. Cholesterol is a waxy substance used by the body for a number of purposes, including the creation of cell membranes and hormones. Most of the body's cholesterol supply is made in the liver with the rest obtained from food. This crystalline substance is soluble in fats and is produced by all vertebrates. Cholesterol is a necessary constituent of cell membranes, facilitating the transport and absorption of fatty acids. Excess cholesterol, however, is a potential threat to our health. There are two different types of cholesterol, and it is important to distinguish between the two: High-density lipoproteins are called HDLs or "good" cholesterol, and HDLs are said to help clear the "bad" cholesterol from arterial walls and help eliminate it from the body. Low-density lipoproteins are called LDLs or "bad" cholesterol and work to clog arteries with an accumulation of plaque, thereby lowering important blood circulation. If we understand how each functions, we can modify our lifestyles to make healthy choices about our diets and exercise programs, as well as embark upon a course of the healthy herbal supplements in this formula that support lower cholesterol and blood pressure regulation for overall optimum health.

Cayenne is a pepper that has been traditionally used in alternative medicine to warm and improve circulation of blood to all parts of the body. Cayenne supports the body's efforts to regulate the heart, as well as blood pressure. This plant extract's natural heat may work with the body's own properties to enhance blood circulation, and it is also thought to normalize both high and low blood pressure. It apparently supports increased heart action without increasing blood pressure, and Cayenne reportedly may significantly help to lower serum cholesterol and triglycerides. Furthermore, the herb is considered to be a catalyst herb that increases the efficacy of almost all other herbs or herbal product combinations. Included in many cuisines, Cayenne pepper is considered a great aid for digestion and believed to aid the body's efforts to regulate heart and blood pressure - and even potentially improve athletic performance!
Hawthorne Leaf is an old-time and trusted herbal cardiac tonic that is often used to support lower blood pressure, reduced cholesterol and significantly enhanced blood circulation to the heart and brain. Research has identified two ways in which the herb may work. It appears to support lower cholesterol, and since there is less platelet aggregation from cholesterol (blood clotting) in the arteries, this action may allow the blood to flow more freely. Hawthorne supports the body's ability to lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood pressure (both high and low), but when taken for at least eight weeks, it is believed to be effective in lowering pressure, since its action develops slowly. It also appears to work with and encourage the body efforts to increase the liver's conversion of LDLs (bad cholesterol) into HDLs (good cholesterol) that do not clog arteries, which may then help to stop plaque formation leading to platelet aggregation (again, helping to reduce blood clotting). Freer flowing blood can be beneficial in the prevention of arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, heart attack and strokes. This herbal supplement's rich vitamin C content is well known as a means to strengthen tiny capillaries in the brain, opening them and resulting in more nutrients and oxygen reaching the brain. Good heart health may be further supported by Hawthorne Leaf's rich flavonoids, which are also thought to dilate and open up the blood vessels (as a vasodilator), allowing oxygen-rich blood to get to the heart. Hawthorne Leaf has also been used to help strengthen the heart and support the body's own efforts to relieve angina, myocarditis (inflamed heart) and arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat).
Blood Pressure/Cholesterol Reduction Support assists the body's own natural efforts to reduce LDLs (bad cholesterol), maintain a high level of HDLs (good cholesterol), reduce arterial plaque, enhance blood circulation and ultimately improve cardiovascular health, which may thus, hopefully, diminish the risk of high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, strokes and heart attacks.
