Could your heart use some pomegranate?
Could your heart use some pomegranate?
In the rush of everyday life, it’s easy to forget how many people rely on you, and how much of a gift each day is. It doesn’t feel like it when you’re stuck in traffic or bored to tears in a workplace meeting, but you have a lot to live for.

Just as easy to ignore is the health of your heart. This incredible muscle has to work every day, all the time, without ceasing. Think about that. Your heart doesn’t get a day off.

If heart health has been something you haven’t thought about much, or haven’t wanted to, we’d like to make it easier with the Heart Matters™ suite of supplements.

Each product focuses on specific health concerns near and dear to the heart. Our newest entry, Artery Advantage™† circulatory support†, combines ingredients you won’t always find in your daily diet, or in every other supplement, for that matter. These include vitamin K2, garlic, and pomegranate.

K2: peak performer for our arteries:
No mistake about it, we need calcium. It’s the most abundant mineral in our bodies, and without it our bones and teeth couldn’t exist.

In Artery Advantage, vitamin K2 derived from natto helps put valuable calcium from the bloodstream into the bones.† By doing this, it helps support healthy arteries and healthy bones.† Think of it as a “two for one” supplement.

Garlic: benefits without the breath

Garlic may already be one of your favorite ingredients in cooking. You know that pungent garlic smell? That’s a sure sign that one of the beneficial ingredients of fresh garlic, called allicin, has been activated. In Artery Advantage, we’ve included same garlic you’ll find in our Garlinase® FRESH garlic extract. It’s encapsulated so that it doesn’t activate until it reaches your small intestine. That means this powerful compound helps support healthy cholesterol levels**, but doesn’t give you garlic breath!
**Levels already within normal limits

Pomegranate knows how to work a room:
You know how you’re always told to “circulate” at a party, especially if it’s one that you’re hosting? Our blood is always hosting a party. And it needs to circulate well, so that life-giving oxygen and nutrients make it to every organ. Pomegranate enhances circulation, so it helps blood gets around the party in style.† Although pomegranate fruit has been making health headlines over the past few years, you may not be getting a lot of it in your lunch. That’s another reason we’ve included it in Artery Advantage†.

Folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12

You’ve probably heard of the benefits of B vitamins for energy support and prenatal health, but did you know they support a healthy heart, too?†

Clinical studies have shown that supplementation with these B vitamins--folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12,--can lower levels of an amino acid called homocysteine.† That’s a good thing. It promotes the body's natural anti-inflammatory response, which supports healthy arteries, too.†

Give your heart a Valentine:
Artery Advantage helps provides the comprehensive support for a healthy heart you need, but may not be getting through diet alone.† Even if it’s a little late, give your heart a Valentine it’ll appreciate long after boxes of chocolate are emptied and the romantic dinners are just a memory. You have a lot to live for. Give your heart the advantage: Artery Advantage†.

Fiber may be best known for it's benefits during digestion, but it has benefits for your cardiovascular system too! Most of the time, the advice around fiber has a “digestion” vibe. But, like all things health related, fiber’s connection is much more involved than that. Because not only does dietary fiber provide crucial support for digestive health, it supports heart health, too.†
Why is fiber so important? We hear so much about the importance of fiber, it’s tempting to merely nod in agreement and move on. But why is fiber so important?
