• Stimulates the appetite, increases the flow of saliva and other digestive juices,

• Increases the rate and efficiency of nutrient absorption,

• Reduces cholesterol levels and decreases the blood’s tendency to form clots,

• Acts as a Hypotensive and a cardiac tonic,

• Increases cardiac output,

• Increases capillary resistance, and

• Strengthens the peripheral vasculature.

• Cayenne traditionally is used with cardiovascular conditions to improve the coronary blood supply, which in turn decreases Angina pain, attacks, and similar complaints. It is also regarded as a herbal tonic for both high and low blood pressure.

General Description: Garlic traditionally has been used for Heart Disease because of its effects on the cardiovascular system.  It has been shown to help with high Cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, and in treating Atherosclerosis.  

Garlic contains natural sulphur-based compounds which:

• Reduce the body's cholesterol creation,

• Slow plaque formation in blood vessels,

• Help to dilate (relax) blood vessels,

• Assist in decreasing blood pressure,

• Decrease platelet aggregation, and

• Help to break up blood clots (fibrinolytic).

Safety Factors: Garlic may increase effects of anticoagulant drugs (blood thinner), and blood sugar levels may decrease in diabetics.  

• Assists with cardiovascular conditions, improves coronary blood supply which decreases Angina attacks and similar complaints.

• Increases metabolic processes in the myocardium, resulting in improved heart function activity

• Promotes peripheral vasodilatation, very mild dilation of coronary vessels and increased oxygen use by the heart,

• Contains bioflavenoids, procyanidins, catechins, triterpenes which maintain a stable heart rhythm,

• Increases the power of heart contractions,

• Increases blood volumes pumped with each heart stroke and overall blood flow,

• Lowers the heart rate, and acts as an hypotensive.
  

• Has Cerebra Vascular effects,

• Enhances peripheral vascular insufficiency, resulting in improved impaired memory function where such condition exists,

• Dilates the blood vessels helping to restore sufficient blood flow to the limbs and brain in cases of arterial insufficiency,

• Reduces brain and retinal edema,

• Is an Antioxidant, and demonstrates free radical scavenging effects

• Helps prevent blood clots in the blood vessels by inhibiting platelet-activating factors,

• Increase tolerance to Hypoxia (low blood oxygen levels),

• Promotes Choline (B vitamin) uptake in the Hippocampus (part of the brain involved with mood and instinct),

• Is known as a reactivator because it activates the Beta Receptors, dilating airways in the lungs, and peripheral blood vessels such as those going to muscles

• Has an inhibitory effect on blood platelet aggregation, effectively reducing dangerous clots, or thrombi,

• Has shown to be effective in preventing coronary thrombosis in recovery from strokes and heart attacks, lowering blood pressure and dilating peripheral blood vessels, including the capillaries.

• Acts by toning the arterioles to produce a vasodilator effect

• Significantly reduces pain in patients with obstructive arteriopathy

• Protects the heart against the stress of prolonged exposure to swimming, this effect demonstrated by measuring the cardiac enzymes such as the crucial enzyme lactic dehydrogenase.

• Has other cardio-protective actions of Bilberry have been reported including:

• Possession of good anti-inflammatory activity,

• Inhibition of Cholesterol induced Atherosclerosis, Modestly inhibiting Serum Platelet Aggregation, demonstrating it also possesses some Anti-Thrombotic potential,

• Contains Anthocyanosides which: Strengthens the capillaries, Improves circulation and feeds the capillaries by altering the ability of fluid/nourishment to pass through,

• Inhibits blood platelets from sticking together (platelet aggregation)
