Heart Healthy Package
Good health depends on a healthy cardiovascular system. Eating healthy, exercising, abstaining from smoking, and controlling stress contribute to overall heart health, but these factors may not be enough. recent research suggests that certain nutrients and natural ingredients can safely help supplement a heart-healthy diet. In fact, a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that supplements in a healthy diet with vitamin E above RDA (Recommend Daily Allowances) levels can help promote a healthy cardiovascular system. That's where a scientifically backed supplementation program like the Pharmanex Heart Healthy Package comes in. It provides your body with specific, good-for-your-heart ingredients that support a heart-healthy lifestyle.
The Pharmanex Heart Healthy Package Contains
LifePak: a clinically supported multivitamin/mineral supplement that supplies optimum amounts of vitamins B-6 and B-12 as well as folic acid, important antioxidant nutrients, and key ingredients for promoting normal homocysteine levels.
Cholestin: contains a patent-pending red yeast rice, clinically proven to help promote healthy cholesterol levels.
Optimum Omega: delivers omega-3 fatty acids, known to help maintain cardiovascular health.
Cholesterol Tester: Prove it to yourself! Take this at-home test before starting the heart healthy program and six weeks after to see the difference.
Heart Healthy Educational Materials: Cholestin consumer white paper, red yeast rice reference sheet, Heart Healthy audio, summary of LifePak clinical results, and more.
Four Components of a Healthy Heart
Healthy Lipid Maintenance*
Triglycerides (also known as lips or fat) are responsible for producing your body's energy and assisting in the absorption of fat-soluable vitamins. But like cholesterol, too much can be harmful--especially to the cardiovascular system.
Optimum Omega with a highly potent source of omega-3-fatty acids can help maintain normal triglyceride levels when combined with regular exercise and a good diet.* (Omega-3 fatty acids have been demonstrated in numerous clinical studies to positively influence the cardiovascular system.)
Healthy Cholesterol Promotion*
Cholesterol is a thick, fat-like substance that plays an important role in heart and cardiovascular health. Keeping cholesterol levels within a normal range is vital to a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. Two elements affect cholesterol levels: low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), commonly referred to as bad cholesterol, and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), know as good cholesterol. The ratio of these two types of cholesterol is crucial to cardio health. Here's how they work: LDLs circulate cholesterol away from the liver and, at elevated levels, may contribute to reduced elasticity and narrowing of the arteries. This results in restricted blood flow to vital organs inluding the heart. HDLs, on the other hand, transport cholesterol from the circulatory system and bring it back to the liver, where it can be reused or eliminated. Because of its good effects, health professionals recommend keeping HDLs above 35 mg/dl.
Cholestin can help keep cholesterol levels in a healthy range because it contains a proprietary form of red yeast rice--shown in over 20 well-documented clinical studies (including a recent study at the UCLA School of Medicine) to promote healthy cholesterol levels by affecting cholesterol synthesis in the liver.* Use Cholestin as part of a heart-healthy program of a wholesome diet and regular physical activity.
Antioxidant Support*
Vitamins C and E are antioxidants that help promote a healthy heart and cardiovascular system by protecting blood fats (lipids) from oxidation caused by free radical activity--which can result from a poor diet, smoking, environmental toxin, etc. In fact, many controlled studies published in reputable journals have shown that consuming 10 to 40 times the RDA of vitamin E (100 to 400 IU) helps maintain good cardiovascular health.
LifePak is a multivitamin/mineral supplement that provides the highest-quality essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. With 300 IU of natural vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols), LifePak offers expanded antioxidant protection to help maintain the health status of various body systems. Besides vitamins C and E, LifePak's antioxidant spectrum also includes all major carotenoids (beta carotene, lutein, lycopene, etc.), selenium, copper, zinc, manganese, alpha lipoic acid, and 145 milligrams of potent flavonoid phytonutrients. Two clinical studies have confirmed the antioxidant protection capabilities of LifePak and its ability to promote cardiovascular health by reducing LDL oxidation.
Homocysteine Metabolism*
The latest scientific research surrounding heart health has found that proper levels of homocysteine, a naturally occurring metabolite, are associated with good heart health. This research shows that healthy blood levels of homocysteine can be maintained by consuming adequate amounts of vitamins B-6 and B-12 plus folic acid.
LifePak helps maintain normal, healthy levels of homocysteine by providing optimal levels of vitamins B-6 and B-12 and folate. One daily dose of LifePak provides 600 mcg of folate (150% of the RDA), 10 mg of B-6 (500% of the RDA), and 30 mg of B-12 (500% of the RDA)--levels recommended in the latest scientific research.
