Lower Your Cholesterol, And A "Whole" Lot More!
If you’re like most Americans, you’re concerned about the health of your heart and the circulatory system – and for good reason. While most of us think of heart attacks as being the major end marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD for short), this term actually reflects a whole family of diseases relating to the circulatory system, including coronary heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and high cholesterol to name a few.
According to the American Heart association, nearly 1 million people die each year from CVD. What’s worse, more than 70 million of us are dealing with CVD of some form on any given day. Unfortunately, the news gets even worse when you consider how many of us live under increased risk due to our lifestyle choices and genetic predispositions. Consider the following:
- More than 20 million of us have diabetes
- Another 41 million of us are pre-diabetic
- Only about 30% of us engage in routine physical activity
- More than 20% of us still use tobacco
- About 1/3 of us have higher blood pressure than we should
- About 50% of us have higher total cholesterol than we should
So what does all of this mean? The time to start taking control of your cardiovascular health is right now.
As you’d expect from the makers of Pro Vitamin Complete, the World’s premier multi-vitamin, multi-mineral and multi-nutrient liquid supplement, we know that your cardiovascular health depends on more than just maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. That’s why Pro Greens Complete was scientifically formulated to provide a broad selection of the whole food greens, essential fruits and veggies, wholesome grain sprouts and prebiotic fibers that nutritionists recommend, but that are nearly impossible to get from even the healthiest of diets.
The Freshest, Most Bio-Active Formula Anywhere!
Plant sterols
Plant sterols are naturally present in a host of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. They are chemical cousins of cholesterol, but don’t let that scare you! Sterols cannot be turned into cholesterol in the body and, unlike cholesterol, they are good for you.
They actually block the absorption of real cholesterol by "confusing" the intestines with their structural similarity. Studies have shown that regularly consuming the amount of natural plant sterols in Pro Greens Complete can lower cholesterol levels by up to 10%.
Anti-Homocysteine Vitamins
While health conscious women know that getting enough folic acid is essential during the child bearing years, many people don’t realize how important this B-vitamin is for the cardiovascular system. Together with vitamins B6 and B12, folic acid has been shown to decrease levels of homocysteine in the blood. This amino acid has been associated with a host of problems relating to the arteries.
Especially when used regularly in conjunction with a healthy diet, Pro Greens Complete with vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid may reduce the risk of vascular disease.
Cell-Protective Antioxidants
Most of us are by now familiar with the many reported health benefits of consuming green tea. In fact, few botanicals have been as extensively studied for their cardiovascular and antioxidant/protective benefits. Here’s something that might be news: In laboratory antioxidant tests, green tea has been shown to have one of the highest ORAC values (a measure of antioxidant potency developed by researchers at the US Department of Agriculture) of any natural product.
Pro Greens Complete provides premium green tea together with other antioxidant powerhouses like acerola, rose hips (both great sources of vitamin C and the bioflavonoids that make vitamin C even more potent) and all-natural vitamin E.
Greens/Whole Foods
Rare, select green algae, like Spirulina (harvested from the pristine waters of the Hawaiian Islands), chlorella (raised in mineral-rich Japanese mountain spring water) and Klamath Lake blue-green algae (from deep in the mountains of Oregon) are unique in nature as abundant sources of essential amino acids, trace minerals and enzymes. From the land, alfalfa juice and barley grass juice are rich sources of chlorophyll, a potent antioxidant that has been shown to support the body’s natural detoxification systems.
Resveratrol
By now the term "The French Paradox" is nearly a household term. It refers to the fact that the French, though notorious for eating copious amounts of fatty foods in their typical diet, tend to have significantly lower rates of cardiovascular disease than such a diet would suggest. A large and growing body of research suggests that this is due to their generous consumption of red wine and its miracle nutrient resveratrol.
If this weren’t enough, recent research has begun to clarify resveratrol’s potential role in extending the life of cells naturally. Pro Greens Complete provides resveratrol from Polygonum cuspidatum, a nutritional treasure which has been used for centuries by practitioners of Kampo, the traditional medicine of the Japanese islands. And no risk of getting a wine hangover, either!
Herbal Support For the Whole Body
Because there are two sides to the adage "in with the good, out with the bad," Pro Greens Complete provides powerful extracts of milk thistle, schizandra and dandelion. These herbs primarily support the liver, which is center-stage in the body’s constant detoxification process by which harmful poisons are rendered harmless and ultimately flushed from the body. A healthy liver also plays a key role in circulation, digestion and metabolism.
Prebiotic fibers selectively feed the good bacteria in the intestines leaving the digestive tract healthier and better able to deliver the nutrition your body needs. Ginger and licorice both contain compounds that help to soothe the stomach, making the whole digestive process more comfortable. Finally, premium extracts of Ginkgo biloba, royal jelly, jujube fruit, astragalus, fo ti and eleuthero help to energize the brain, to boost the body’s ability to deal with stress, and to provide lasting energy to power you through your busy day.
Fruit and Veggie Juice Concentrates
Of course your mother was right: Eating "a rainbow of colors" from all of the major fruit and vegetable families is essential to good health. Unfortunately, differing tastes and our hectic schedules make it tough to always get the 5-10 servings that most experts recommend. With apple, lemon, carrot, kale, fennel, spinach, collard greens, parsley, Swiss chard, beet, broccoli, cabbage and yucca, Pro Greens Complete provides a veritable cornucopia from across all of the major fruit and
