Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E

Recent research has shown that fish oil may be beneficial in supporting cognitive function by helping the body manage stress and enhance mood. It may also promote a healthy complexion. In an article published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the effects of omega-3 fish oil supplementation was shown to be beneficial for healthy cognitive and cardiac functioning. The study shows that supplementing with fish oil daily can rapidly raise the levels of EPA and DHA in cardiac tissue. This is important because both EPA and DHA have been proven to help maintain normal plasma triglycerides. In addition, DHA has been shown to help maintain blood pressure and blood viscosity. This study also showed an inverse relationship between EPA/DHA and arachidonic acid (AA), an omega-6 fatty acid. As EPA and DHA increased in atrial (heart tissue) phospholipids, AA decreased.

Heart Health Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E provides the three grams of omega-3 that studies reveal is the most effective amount to promote overall cardiovascular health. Fish oils have been clinically demonstrated to provide a host of benefits that successfully promote cardiovascular health. Heart Health Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E helps maintain normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels, promotes healthy blood pressure levels, helps maintain healthy levels of C-reactive protein, helps maintain normal blood flow and helps enhance mood. The fish oil used in Heart Health Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E is tested twice, once from the manufacturer and then by an independent testing company for mercury, lead, PCB and other heavy metals. Both tests confirmed that Heart Health Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E is free of mercury, lead, PCPs and other heavy metals. We only use fish oil that meets or exceeds standards set by Canada (CFIA), the European Union (EU) and the United States (CRN).

Co-Q10 (Cardiovascular & Immune Support)

All cellular functions depend upon the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is a molecule with three high-energy phosphate bonds, which exist in all of our cells. It is the primary energy source for many metabolic processes. Coenzyme Q10 is essential to the ATP production process, and the heart has a high metabolic demand, which is why normal levels of CoQ10 are associated with good cardiovascular health. As part of the energy production process, CoQ10 exists in the inner mitochondrial membrane as part of the electron transport chain. CoQ10 transports the electrons and protons through the membranes to make the energy production process possible. The lysosomal membranes that separate digestive enzymes from the rest of the cell contain relatively high concentrations of Coenzyme Q10. Recent research suggests that Coenzyme Q10 plays an important role in the transport of protons across lysosomal membranes to maintain the optimal pH for cellular recycling. Within a cell, it serves as a carrier of electrons in the electron transport chain, neutralizes free radicals and helps maintain the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane. 

Throughout the aging process, the body’s ability to synthesize Coenzyme Q10 begins to decline. Sometimes this is due to stress or infections, but the main challenge is a poor diet. Heart Health Advanced Co-Q10 is a blend of CoQSol-CF™ and vitamin E, designed to promote overall cardiovascular health. CoQSol-CF is a unique, patent-pending formula of CoQ10, food grade d-limonene (which serves as a non-polar, organic solvent) and tocopherol (vitamin E). This combination creates a liquid, crystal-free solution of CoQ10 that provides enhanced bioavailability. By improving dissolution, absorption is enhanced. Heart Health Advanced Co-Q10 helps maintain normal blood pressure, helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, provides antioxidant protection for the cardiovascular system, helps maintain heart muscle strength, helps maintain cognitive health and promotes cellular energy production.

LipiTrim® Ultra (Advanced Cholesterol Support Formula)

Synthesis of cholesterol in the liver and other cells in the body is responsible for about 70 percent of our total cholesterol, with the other 30 percent from food. Maintaining healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels is important to the overall health of the cardiovascular system.

Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like, waxy substance found in the bloodstream and in all your body's cells. It is normal to have cholesterol. Cholesterol is an important part of a healthy body because it is used for producing cell membranes and some hormones, and serves other needed bodily functions. Cholesterol cannot dissolve in the blood. It has to be transported to and from the cells by carriers called lipoproteins. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is known as 'bad' cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is known as 'good' cholesterol. Triglycerides are a form of fat made in the body.

Cholesterol comes from two sources, the body and food. The liver and other cells in the body make about 70 percent of blood cholesterol. The other 25 percent comes from food. The body produces LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) naturally, but many people inherit genes from their family that cause their body to create excess amounts of cholesterol. Eating saturated fat, trans fats and dietary cholesterol also increase the overall amount of cholesterol in the blood. Because high cholesterol levels can be dangerous, it is important to maintain healthy levels of cholesterol, both the good and the bad, in the body.

Heart Health Advanced LipiTrim Ultra is composed of Sytrinol®, a patented proprietary formula derived from natural citrus polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) and palm tocotrienols, designed to promote overall cardiovascular health. Sytrinol works in the liver, without inhibiting the production of CoQ10. Advanced LipiTrim Ultra is a powerful antioxidant; it helps promote delivery of healthy levels of LDL throughout the body, promotes a normal rate of cholesterol production, helps maintain healthy levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and promotes the normal synthesis of triglycerides in the liver.
