Heart health related problems is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and frankly it isn’t talked about enough. Protecting your cardiovascular from oxidative stress, inflammation, and other damaging factors is not something to take lightly. Many blogs focus on eating a diet rich in antioxidants with foods like berries, dark chocolate, and leafy greens, and while these foods can definitely help, the reality is that getting enough antioxidants through these foods can be difficult. That’s not to stay stop eating healthy foods but make your life easier with an extra boost of antioxidants. This is where supplements like Res-V Ultimate come in, offering a convenient and effective way to support heart health. In this blog, we’ll explore how the antioxidants ingredients found in Res-V Ultimate can help to support and strengthen your heart.
A prominent and potent ingredient in Res-V Ultimate, Japanese Knotweed, contains high level trans-resveratrol. Resveratrol is a polyphonic compound known for its heart health benefits and has an impact on blood flow by contributing better vasodilation of the arteries. (Cherniack and Troen) This ingredient helps to also reduce inflammation, and presenting the bad cholesterol known as LDL cholesterol, which in turn helps to avoid long term heart health issues. In Res-V Ultimate Japanese Knotweed provides 90mg of Trans-Resveratrol, which helps to protect the endothelial cells that line blood vessels, supporting circulation and cardiovascular health.
Another key ingredient is turmeric, renowned for its powerful inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Chronic inflammation is a big contributor to cardiovascular health issues, this is because inflammation causes the inner lining of the blood vessels to get damages, which leads to buildup. Overtime this narrows and hardens the arteries, restricting blood floor which can in turn increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Res-V Ultimate includes 50mg of curcumins found in turmeric, providing a concentrated dose to support inflammation.
Another powerhouse antioxidant present in Res-V Ultimate is Grape Seed Extract. This ingredient is rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), a class of flavonoids that have been shown to improve vascular health. Recent studies in 2021 found that Grape Seed Extract can lower blood pressure significantly. (Schön et al.). The 1400mg of red grape skin in Res-V Ultimate provides 50mg of polyphenols that help to support the heart by promoting circulation, lowering blood pressure, and oxidative damage to the blood vessels. These polyphenols also help the production of nitric oxide, which helps to relax and dilate blood vells, further supporting a healthy blood flow.
Who doesn’t love a warm cuppa? Tea, like green tea are not only delicious but also help to support your heart. Green tea has a high concentration of catechins, a type of antioxidant that has been shown to have positive effects on protecting the cardiovascular. (Anandh Babu and Liu). As with many herbal ingredients, consuming large amounts can be dangerous and is not recommended. That’s why Res-V Ultimate provides a safe dose of 500mg of green tea, to provide you with all the benefits in one small capsule.
Each ingredient in Res-V Ultimate work in synergy to support a healthy heart. It offers a potent blend of powerful antioxidants, carefully selected for its heart-protective benefits.
