Heritage
Health Products HEALTHY HEART PLUS!
A HEALTHY CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM!
The original Healthy Heart formula focused on supporting healthy
levels of homocysteine. Why? Twenty percent of the deaths around the
entire world are due to cardiovascular disease, and elevated levels of
homocysteine have been proven to be a key risk factor in creating heart disease.
Excess homocysteine compromises the integrity of the lining of the artery walls,
creating areas which need to be patched - which is done with cholesterol.
Thus, a formula like Healthy Heart, designed to reduce homocysteine
levels, addresses a core risk factor in cardiovascular disease. The
ingredients that do this work include: Vitamin C, Niacin, Vitamin B6,
Vitamin B12, and the amino acids Proline, Lysine and Serine.
Now, after many years of success stories with the original Healthy Heart
formula, new advances in research have inspired Heritage to keep this product on
the cutting edge. We are retaining the key anti-homocysteine ingredients
in the formula, and adding a novel enzyme called Nattokinase. In the
1980's, Dr. Sumi isolated this enzyme from natto, a fermented vegetable cheese
that is widely consumed in Japan, with a history that goes back 1,000 years.
It is a well-known fact that the Japanese have a lower incidence of
cardiovascular disease than Western countries. In fact, according to the
World Health Organization statistics, the Japanese have fewer than 1/3 the
deaths from ischemic heart disease than the United States.
Nattokinase has been the subject of recent study by Dr. Holsworth, a
pioneering researcher in the field of cardiovascular health. Dr. Holsworth
has investigated how Nattokinase affects blood flow and blood clots, concluding
that this novel enzyme has true therapeutic value for the cardiovascular system.
Healthy blood flows freely, and when there is a need for form a clot, such as
when one is cut, the body forms the necessary clot. However, there are
also blood clots that are unhealthy, that thicken the blood, and can lead to
health problems such as strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms and deep leg
thrombosis. This is where Nattokinase supports a healthy cardiovascular
system: it has been shown to support the body's clot-busting system
without impairing the body's ability to stop bleeding when necessary. The
result is better flowing blood, and increased oxygen and nutrient supply to all
the tissues of the body.
Now, the new HH Plus not only supports the health of the
cardiovascular system by keeping the artery walls strong and pliable, but the
new ingredient Nattokinase helps to keep the blood within the arteries flowing
smoothly as well. These benefits are far-reaching for many people:
high altitude athletes, diabetics, anyone with compromised circulation, smokers,
people on long airline flights, and even otherwise healthy people who simply
want to make sure that their cardiovascular system is working optimally.
From the tiny blood vessels in our eyes and kidneys to the larger ones in the
tips of our toes, the health of this system determines whether or not oxygen and
nutrients will reach every tissue in our body. The new HH Plus
supports these efforts toward vibrant health with the most cutting edge
ingredients on the market today.
