The Cardiovascular System
The cardiovascular system plays the crucial role of circulating oxygen, as well as providing a network for the movement of nutrients, cellular wastes and chemical signals throughout the
body. If cells in any part of the body are deprived of fresh, oxygenated blood they begin to die. The healthier the heart, lungs, arteries, veins and blood are, the more efficient the body as a whole
will function.

A healthy cardiovascular system requires efficient energy production in the heart and arteries, minimization of the potentially damaging effects of oxygen (oxidation) on cardiovascular cells and tissues, and maintainance of proper levels of circulating chemicals (particularly triglycerides, lipoproteins, and sugars).

Factors that can impair the functioning of the cardiovascular system include both lifestyle (poor diet, obesity, lack of exercise, elevated stress) as well as biochemicall (elevated levels of circulating LDL cholesterol and glucose, high blood pressure, excessive free radical damage).

Supplements that improve the function of the cardiovascular system have antioxidant properties, help transform fatty acids into energy more efficiently, maintain healthy blood pressure, help
to optimize blood glucose and cholesterol levels, and support the detoxification or removal of waste products.
 

Q-Absorb™
Coenzyme Q10 (Co-Q10) has an important role in cardiovascular metabolism, both as a critical component in energy production, and as a circulating antioxidant. Made by all cells, it is essential to the body’s production of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the mitochondria. This holds special importance for the heart, which is spectacularly endowed with fine mitochondria and generally has the body’s highest concentration of Co-Q10.

Co-Q10 is a powerful cardiovascular antioxidant. Experimental results demonstrate that oral supplementation of CoQ10 complements the activity of other important serum antioxidants (like alphatocopherol [vitamin E]) in protecting serum LDL (low density lipoprotein) against oxidation. Jarrow Formulas’ Q-absorb™ technology has been designed to maximize Co-Q10 absorption naturally, without the use of detergents or surfactants. Q-absorb™ reduces the amount of Co-Q10 required to raise blood  concentration, thereby improving Co-Q10’s antioxidant activity.
Three hundred milligrams of Q-Absorb daily for 30 days resulted in a nearly 300% improvement of circulating Co-Q10 in a recent clinical trial. In a study at the Lancisi Heart Institute, Q-Absorb was also shown to be effective at maintaining antioxidant status, and several other indicators of healthy cardiovascular function, in Stage 2 heart failure patients.

Ribose
A special sugar that supports post-exercise muscle recovery, cardiac health and increases energy and endurance by helping the body to replenish nucleotides (such as ATP) and the nucleic acids RNA & DNA that are depleted as a result of exercise or stress.
(100 & 200 gram Powder)
QH-absorb™
Jarrow Formulas new reduced Co-Q10 supplement. Normally, the body needs to convert Co-Q10 into ubiquinol before it can be used. However, We have found away to deliver this supplement in its useable form. (100 mg — 60 Capsules)

Pressure Optimizer™
Supports healthy blood pressure for those already within normal range. Contains 100 mg of Co-Q10, 200 mg Theanine, 100 mg Magnesium and 5 mg Ameal Peptide (a patented extract of hydrolyzed casein). (60 Capsules)

Resveratrol 100
With 100 mg of Resveratrol from Polygonum Cuspidatum (>90% Trans), Resveratrol has been studied for maintaining healthy cell replication. It may protect cardiovascular function by inhibiting LDL oxidation, regulating nitric oxide synthesis and protecting the integrity of capillaries. (60 Vegetarian Capsules)

Venous PF™
A synergistic combination of nutrients that enhances vascular integrity and healthy blood circulation while decreasing capillary permeability. It is a combination of diosmin, hesperdin, bilberry, olive fruit and grape seed extract. (90 Tablets)

Cholestame
A comprehensive combination of nutrients that influence cholesterol metabolism including flavonoids, PomGuard™, Artichoke leaf extract, polymethoxylated flavonoids, Pantethine,Theaflavin, grape seed extract, alpha lipoic acid, and Sesamin. (90 Easy-Solv Tablets)
GPLC
GPLC exhibits a special affinity for muscle tissue, assists in energy production by facilitating the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria and contributes to muscle function by compensating for reduced oxygen availability during exercise. (500 mg — 60 Capsules)
Pantethine
Supports lipid metabolism through its ability to raise levels of CoA, a cofactor involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. CoA combines with acetyl groups to form Acetyl CoA, a participant in energy production. (60 Softgels)

Co-Q10
An important antioxidant found at high concentrations in the human heart and liver and which is part of the cells’ electron transport system. Our Co-Q10 is derived from fermentation and
consists only of the natural trans configuration, the same form
that is synthesized by humans.

NattoMax
An extract of the Japanese superfood Natto which is concentrated
without the use of solvents, each capsule offers 1,600 fibrinolytic units/128 IU Urokinase. Nattokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme that promotes healthy circulation by its effects on serine protease-mediated digestion of fibrin. (30 Vegetarian Capsules)

PomGuard
A blend of fermented pomegranate juice, seed meal, and aqueous extracts of the peel and leaf. Fermentation improves the bioavailability. This patented blend was developed by the renowned pomegranate researcher Dr. Ephraim Lansky. (60 Capsules)

GPLC +Resveratrol
This patented combination is designed to help strengthen your heart so you have more energy and endurance. Together these two compounds form a powerful team for protecting the heart, enhancing muscular activity, burning blood lipids and building endurance. (60 Capsules)
