Cir-Cu-Care
A blend of
antioxidants, amino adds, minerals, and vitamins that support the
circulatory system. May prevent plaque and improve blood flow.
Recent
research, at major universities, has shown that certain
nutrients have a profound beneficial effect on the
cardio-vascular system. These revolutionary formulas help to
improve heart and circulation, and may help to prevent heart and
vascular problems, which often lead to disease and surgery.
Each capsule contains:
Vitamin E (d'Alpha Tocopheryl) - 100 IU; Potassium Aspartate -
20 mg (Elemental); Elder Berry extract - 30 mg; Ginkgo Biloba
extract - 30 mg; Grape Seed extract - 15 mg; Pine Bark Extract -
10 mg; Taurine - 5 mg; L-Glutathione Reduced - 5 mg; Arginine
HCL - 150 mg (Elemental); Selenomethionine - 15 mcg.
Cir-Cu-Care is a unique formulation of Amino Acids,
Antioxidants, Botanicals, Minerals, and Vitamins that support
the circulatory system.
DIRECTIONS: 4 Capsules per day,
or as needed. May be combined with Montiff Vaso-Lene for
complete circulation support (at 2 CIF-Cu-Care plus 2 Vaso-Lene
per day). May also add Cardio-Care (with folic acid, B-6, &
B-12; 2 per day) for full spectrum Cardio-Vascular support.
Otherwise, 1-2 B-Complete or B-Long are recommended to provide
folic acid, B-6 and B-12, for the prevention of harmful
homocysteine levels as well as proper amino acids metabolism.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
-
Supporting the vascular system and
helping to increase blood flow.
-
Those experiencing vascular problems.
-
Individuals who have a family history of
vascular disease.
-
Helping to prevent hypertension.
-
Helping to prevent Arteriosclerosis by
assisting in the Production of Nitric Oxide, and important
antioxidant properties.
-
Beneficial in assisting in prevention
and reduction of plaque and cholesterol.
CAUTION:
This formula has beneficial anticoagulation properties, however,
caution should be exercised with those on the medication,
Coumadin.
WHAT IS NITRIC OXIDE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO ARGININE?
-
Nitric Oxide (NO), a small molecule
synthesized from Arginine in the body, is the endothelial
relaxing factor (EDRF). It plays an essential role in the
regulation of vascular homeostasis.
-
In the cardiovascular system, Nitric
Oxide's important functions are for the modulation of cardiac
contractility, regulation of vascular tone, and the prevention
of vessel injury and Atherosclerosis. It is also an important
free radical scavenger.
-
Studies at major universities, as well
as studies funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute, support the importance of Nitric Oxide, its role in
the endothelial-vascular system of the body, and its
relationship to Arginine supplementation.
-
A study "Effect of L-Arginine on
Plasminogen-Activator Inhibitor in Hypertensive Patients with
Hypercholesterolemia" in "The New England Journal of
Medicine", Jan. 28,1993 by Korbut, Ph.D., Bieron, M.D. and
Gryglewski, M.D. discussed patients with high blood pressure
and high cholesterol who were administered IV Arginine HCL.
The infusion of L-Arginine was associated with a decrease in
the plasma PAI and cholesterol levels as well as normalization
of blood pressure in the Hypertensive patients with
Hypercholesterolemia.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFICIAL ASPECTS OF
ANTIOXIDANTS?
Antioxidants protect the body from oxidative stress, which can
cause peroxidation of lipids. The oxidized LDL can lead to the
development of atherosclerotic plaques
VITAMIN E (d'Alpha Tocopherol)
-
Vitamin E has been shown in numerous
studies to have important antioxidant properties, and is very
important for cardio-vascular health.
-
Vitamin E has an effect on
prostaglandins. Medical research has noted the important
anti-platelet aggregation properties of Vitamin E and its
influence in vascular disease. Thus, it helps to prevent blood
clots and it is often used, in conjunction with aspirin, to
help decrease the incidence of heart attacks and strokes.
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID
-
Helps to potentiate the effects of
Vitamins E, C, Beta-Carotene, and Co-Q 10 as well as
increasing available glutathione levels.
-
Ischemia-reperfusion injuries, which
occur in conditions such as stroke, cardiac arrest and head
trauma, result from the release of free radicals during
reoxygenation of tissue that has become hypoxic. Since it's
efficacious in preventing these Ischemia-reperfusion injuries,
ALA may be important to patients who have had strokes, cardiac
infarction, and open-heart surgery.
-
Alpha Lipoic Acid has antioxidant
protection against LDL's, and helps prevent fatty deposits on
arterial walls.
GLUTATHIONE:
This amino acid has powerful antioxidant properties and protects
cell walls from free radical damage. It helps regulate
Citrulline in the kidneys, which increases Arginine levels.
Glutathione may also play a role in maintaining levels of
d'Alpha Tocopherol in membranes.
SELENOMETHIONINE:
Methionine, an amino acid, aids in the maintenance of
Glutathione pools, and combining it with selenium enhances its
bioavailabilty. Methionine disorders are associated with the
presence of homocysteine, which is correlated with heart attacks
and strokes. Folic acid is also very important for the
prevention of excessive homocysteine. B-Long or B-Complete are
recommended to provide this important B vitamin, as well as the
other B vitamins necessary for proper metabolism of Methionine
and other amino acids.
TAURINE:
an amino acid found in meat and absent in vegetarian diets, has
several functions, including the regulation of the
potassium-sodium-calcium-magnesium flux for proper heart muscle
function. It is also an antioxidant, and potentiates vitamin E
activity.
GINKGO BILOBA EXTRACT:
possesses strong antioxidative and free radical scavenging
activities. It acts as a vasodilator and its effect on smooth
muscles may produce hypotensive benefits.
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT:
with exceptional free-radical scavenging ability, contains
procyanidins, which help release more prostacyclin (a
vasodilatory hormone). This also has a favorable effect on
cholesterol levels.
ELDER BERRY EXTRACT AND PINE BARK EXTRACT:
are other antioxidants important for a healthy circulatory
system.
POTASSIUM:
is a mineral critical for heart cell metabolism.
