Milk Thistle Max-V - Douglas Laboratories - 60 veg. capsules

Liver protective flavonoids

DESCRIPTION

Cardio-Edge contains a patented combination of polymethoxylated citrus flavones and palm tocotrienols, plant sterols, and standardized Granada extract to help maintain cardiovascular health and normalize cholesterol metabolism.

FUNCTIONS

• SYTRINOL functions - A unique and powerful ingredient to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. The salutary effects of both bioflavonoids and tocotrienols are well recognized. Sytrinol provides a patented and well investigated combination with flavonoid derivatives from tangerines peel  and tocotrienols derived from palm . Inside the shell of certain fruits, compounds belonging to a class of flavonoids called polymethoxylated flavones can be found. These compounds are similar in structure to flavones, but contain additional methyl groups in their ring structure, giving the name of polymethoxylated flavones - also known as PMF. Tocotrienols have been shown to support normal body's production of HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme responsible for hepatic rate limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. Consequently, the combination of the FMP and tocotrienols action contained in SYTRINOL results in a powerful synergistic action to support cardiovascular health. This effect has been confirmed in both animal and human studies.
• Plant sterols are slightly different natural plant compounds that have similar structure to cholesterol. Typical plant sterols are compounds such as β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol and can be found in vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, grains and certain oils. Research has shown that these compounds compete with the absorption of dietary cholesterol and inhibit reabsorption of endogenous cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract. Supplementation with plant sterols can and has been shown to significantly lower cholesterol levels and work synergistically with other therapies for lowering cholesterol. Many foods such as orange juice, rice drink, and margarine now incorporate plant sterols or sterol esters. Increasingly, dietary supplements are incorporating plant sterols and the use of health claims that have been allowed for products containing at least 800 mg of plant sterols a day.
• Pomegranate: Research has shown that supplementation with Granada juice can decrease macrophage lipid accumulation, and cellular cholesterol accumulation in mice. Recently, human research has confirmed a beneficial effect of consuming Granada juice  on parameters such as LDL oxidation, blood pressure, and blood vessel health.
• The combination of SYTRINOL, plant sterols, Granada extract presents the results of science on a formula that incorporates the latest technology to help maintain cardiovascular health and support healthy cholesterol levels.
