Product Details
Magnesium supports healthy cellular electrolyte function and vascular smooth muscle cells. The importance of magnesium intake was demonstrated in the 10 year follow-up of the Women’s Health Study, where higher intakes of dietary magnesium were associated with maintaining healthy vascular relaxation. Patent pending MegaNatural®-BP supports healthy blood vessel relaxation in volunteers, as demonstrated in a study conducted at the University of California, Davis. MegaNatural®-BP grape seed is unique in that the extraction process maximizes the concentration of monomeric and oligomeric procyanidins and minimizes the concentration of polymeric procyanidins. A recent double blind, placebo controlled trial in Israel suggests that the carotenoid lycopene from tomato extract provides powerful vascular antioxidant protection and healthy blood vessel relaxation support. CranLoad™ delivers a unique cranberry and grape seed blend developed as part of an extensive research program with the Institute of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods (INAF) and Laval University in Quebec, Canada. In addition to being powerful antioxidants, these compounds offer specific vascular support mechanisms that are associated with enhanced endothelial function. In a pilot trial involving elite athletes, CranLoad™ provided statistically significant support for healthy flow mediated dilation (FMD) at rest, an effect similar to arginine administration.
