If you're trying to maintain a healthy heart and normal blood pressure, then chances are you've heard of a supplement called nattokinase.
Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted from natto, a favorite food in Japan. Dozens of studies show that nattokinase helps support your body's natural blood-thinning ability, promotes blood flow and even helps you maintain healthy blood pressure and circulation.
But as good as nattokinase is, it doesn't do everything you need for a healthy heart and circulation.
There are other aspects of your health that, if left unchecked, can lead to circulation problems. Things like high cholesterol … blood sugar imbalances … inflammation … weaker muscles … and stress.
If you want complete protection for your heart and circulatory system, you have to go beyond nattokinase. How? By adding a few of the best "cardiac nutrients" I know to your healthy heart regimen.
Now I know what you're thinking. You think you'll have to go out and buy even more supplements ... or take fistfuls of pills each day. But bear with me. Because I'm going to show you how to get this added protection without spending more than you would for nattokinase. And without taking extra pills.
But first, let's look at some of the other important nutrients you need to support your heart and circulation. Starting with...
The Chinese discovery that relaxes arteries
and supports healthy blood flow
This nutrient is not well known in our country. But it has a long history of success in China. It's also been studied extensively in clinical trials.
Doctors in China call it "Danshen" but we know it as Chinese Salvia. Ask any traditional Chinese doctor and he'll tell you Chinese Salvia relaxes blood vessels to support a stronger flow of blood to the coronary arteries and to the heart.
That's because this particular Salvia triggers the release of nitric oxide in your blood vessels. Nitric oxide helps keep artery walls open, relaxed and healthy.
Chinese Salvia also supports healthy blood pressure. It does this by inhibiting something called angiotensin converting enzymes (ACE). You may have heard of ACE inhibitors before. By inhibiting ACE, Chinese Salvia helps open up ("dilate") your arteries to maintain healthy blood pressure.
Chinese Salvia has even been shown to support your body's ability to regulate homocysteine and C-reactive protein to normal levels. Lower levels of these two blood components are critical to a healthy cardiovascular system.
Like many Chinese herbs, Chinese Salvia works best when it's combined in a balanced formula. Especially when it's combined with…
Europe's most popular heart helper
Herbalists have known about this nutrient since the time of Roman emperor Nero, in first century A.D. Rumor has it that the "crown of thorns" worn by Jesus was made from its branches.
Today, it's one of the most popular botanical medicines for supporting a healthy heart used in Europe.
It's the Hawthorn Berry (Crataegus oxycantha). And while its healing power has been talked about for centuries, modern day scientists were surprised when they studied Hawthorn in the lab.
They found that Hawthorn helps your body regulate heartbeats … relaxes blood vessels to improve blood and oxygen flow … and even helps maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
Researchers found that taking Hawthorn daily improves heart function. Patients reported a big drop in symptoms of difficult breathing and fatigue after taking Hawthorn.
Some people take Hawthorn by itself. But it works best when it’s combined with other cardiac herbs and nutrients in a balanced formula. Especially one that targets this stubborn problem...
How to treat a stubborn case of high cholesterol
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses Cordyceps sinensis, a medicinal mushroom, for difficult cases of high cholesterol. Why? Because it reduces the oxidation of cholesterol.
As I've written before, it's oxidized cholesterol, not cholesterol itself, that's the real culprit. Cholesterol becomes oxidized when it's damaged by free radicals. Oxidation makes cholesterol more prone to irritating the walls of your arteries and building up as arterial plaque.
Oxidation also increases the number of free radicals in your body. Free radicals contribute to aging and disease.
But Cordyceps is a powerful anti-oxidant. Cordyceps fights free radical build-up. It strengthens your immune system and can reduce adrenal stress, too. And stress goes hand-in-hand with many health issues, including cardiovascular problems.
Cordyceps targets another hidden danger, too.
As you may know, blood sugar imbalances can lead to heart problems. When your body is unable to use insulin properly, high levels of glucose and insulin can build up in your blood.
This build-up of glucose and insulin can damage the lining of your arteries and blood vessels. But Cordyceps improves your body's ability to absorb insulin and burn glucose. Reducing the dangers of high blood sugar.
As you can see, Cordyceps is one valuable nutrient, whether you have heart concerns or not. Especially when it's combined with …
An immune booster that supports your heart
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a prized mushroom in China and Japan, where its health-giving qualities have been studied for over 4,000 years. But did you also know it's a powerful heart protector? It's true. That's because Reishi addresses so many different risk factors.
Reishi contains several powerful nutrients such as plant sterols and ganoderic acids. The ganoderic acids in Reishi support your body's ability to maintain a healthy blood pressure, lower triglyceride levels, and remove excess cholesterol from the blood. Reishi also plays a role in the ability of blood platelets to stick together.
Reishi is a powerful anti-inflammatory herb. Inflammation is the culprit behind many heart, blood sugar and circulation problems. In fact, when it comes to aging, I'd say one of the most important things you can do is reduce inflammation throughout your body.
Reishi reduces inflammation by stimulating the production of white blood cells, the cornerstone of your immune system. Plus, Reishi supports your adrenal glands (the glands that respond to all types of stress).
Reishi works in tandem with the other nutrients I've mentioned: Chinese Salvia, hawthorn, Cordyceps and nattokinase. Plus one more nutrient that's essential for a healthy heart and circulation…
"Re-charge" aging muscles — including your heart
One thing that makes growing older tougher is that our muscles begin to shrink. When our muscles shrink, we lose energy. And that means less energy for your most important muscle — your heart! So it’s vital to keep your muscles strong.
Fortunately, there’s a simple nutrient that slows down this muscle loss, boosts energy and makes aging a little easier.
That nutrient is carnitine. L-carnitine is an amino acid that transports fat into your cells. Your cells burn this fat for fuel. The result is energy. If you don’t have enough L-carnitine, you’ll feel fatigued, even with plenty of rest and a good diet.
Want proof? Recently, a group of researchers in Italy looked at 66 healthy men and women – all with an average age of 101. That's right, they were all centenarians!
While all of them were healthy and active, researchers found that they naturally showed signs of aging, such as general weakness, forgetfulness, poor balance, and lack of stamina. So researchers gave half the group L-carnitine.
At the end of the study, people who took L-carnitine had more energy, improved memory, and stronger muscles, too. They even lost fat.
They lost fat because L-carnitine helps your body burn good fat and get rid of fat you don't need. Burning fat is important for heart health. When your body doesn’t burn enough fat for energy, fat can build up and contribute to high triglycerides and blood sugar imbalances.
When you add carnitine to your heart-healthy formula, you energize your entire body. And you can slow down the muscle weakness that often comes with age.
And be sure to take the best form of nattokinase, too
All of these heart-healthy nutrients add to the protection you get from the popular supplement, nattokinase.
But you also want to be sure to get the most potent form of nattokinase.
The strength of nattokinase depends on how it's fermented, how it's processed and the amount you get. The strongest and best quality nattokinase I know is called NSK-SD™.
NSK-SD is produced from non-genetically modified soybeans using a patented strain of Bacillus bacteria. Each batch is tested to ensure its potency.
What's more, NSK-SD is completely free of vitamin K2. That's important because vitamin K2 can interfere with blood-thinning medications.
NSK-SD helps keep your blood flowing freely
With NSK-SD, you get the full benefit of nattokinase's ability to support your body's natural blood-thinning ability and promote healthy blood flow.
Nattokinase does this by helping your body break down and dissolve fibrin. Fibrin is a thread-like protein that creates blood clots. You need fibrin for healthy clotting and healing of wounds. And when your body no longer needs a clot, it produces another enzyme to dissolve the fibrin, called plasmin.
But as you get older, your body makes less and less plasmin. This can allow too much fibrin to build up in your bloodstream. Too much fibrin can make your blood thicker and "sticky."
But nattokinase enzymes dissolve fibrin in a way similar to plasmin. Nattokinase also boosts your body's own production of plasmin. So you get "double-duty" protection against too much fibrin in your blood.
Why the sum of these nutrients can
be greater than the parts
At the beginning of this report, I mentioned there was something even better than nattokinase for supporting a healthy heart, blood pressure and circulation.
And what's better is combining nattokinase with the heart-healthy nutrients I've just mentioned. Because the sum works even better than the parts.
Traditional Chinese doctors have known about this "synergistic" effect for centuries. That's why so many Chinese medicines are combinations of herbs. The Chinese believe a combination of herbs that do similar things can amplify each other. And now it's been proven in the lab.
Recently, a team of doctors found that many Chinese herbs show better pharmacological effects when used in combination than when used alone. They published their findings in the respected, peer-reviewed journal Pharmaceutical and Biological Bulletin of Japan.
The same holds true for heart nutrients. The key to a healthy heart and circulation is to have a combination of these nutrients. That's because your heart is affected by so many things — by stress, the thickness of your blood, how well it circulates, and your immune system.
The trick is to find the right combination. And that's why I asked my friend, Isaac Eliaz, MD, to design an effective and affordable heart formula based on this concept of synergy.
He's the best person I know to build a broad-based formula to support the heart, brain, circulation, immune system, blood sugar, and more. Dr. Eliaz has formulated many other supplements for my patients, such as MycoPhyto Complex, Integrative Digestive Formula, and PectaSol Chelation Complex.
Dr. Eliaz outdid himself. He created a formula that combines modern science with the ancient wisdom of complementary therapies. It's called Circutol™, and it's unlike any other heart and circulation formula I’ve seen.
