Take care of your heart so it can love for as long as possible!

An unhealthy diet, low physical activity, smoking, obesity, and lack of concern for cholesterol - are factors that have a negative impact on the circulation and heart. Are you paying enough attention to them?

The key to a healthy heart includes a proper diet. The N°1 Heartvi BALANCE dietary supplement with resveratrol supports the cardiovascular system, vitamin C, and astaxanthin.

• Resveratrol

It was first isolated in 1940. You may be familiar with the term 'French paradox'. This is the name of the phenomenon of the relatively rare occurrence of cardiovascular problems among the French, even though their diet (rich in saturated fats) is not very kind to the heart. Serge Renaud came up with the theory that this fact is due, among other things, to resveratrol present in the red wine which the French love so much (resveratrol is found in grape skins).

Now you can introduce resveratrol into your diet with N°1 Heartvi BALANCE. A daily serving contains 100 mg of this compound.

Resveratrol supports the health of the cardiovascular system. Such properties are due to the inhibition of platelet aggregation and the reduction in the susceptibility of LDL lipoproteins to oxidation. Resveratrol is also said to dilate blood vessels by increasing nitric oxide production.¹

• Astaxanthin

It belongs to a group of yellow and red pigments of plant origin called carotenoids. Astaxanthin gives some fish their pink colour. Hence, you can supply yourself with it by eating salmon or trout, for example. It is also found in algae and krill. The most common source of it in dietary supplements is microalgae with the Latin name Haematococcus Pluvialis. Our astaxanthin has also been sourced from this alga.

• Vitamin C

Before we move on to discussing the properties of vitamin C, we need to talk about free radicals and oxidative stress. Free radicals are reactive oxygen forms that have one free electron. They seek to pair electrons in order to achieve balance in this way. They can do this, for example, by attaching an electron from another molecule. When there are too many free radicals in the body, a phenomenon called oxidative stress occurs. This leads to cellular ageing and also has a negative impact on the cardiovascular system.

One way to combat this stress is with vitamin C, and N°1 Heartvi BALANCE contains 300% of its nutrient reference value.

Vitamin C helps protect cells against oxidative stress. In addition, it helps in the proper production of collagen to ensure the proper functioning of the blood vessels.

As you can see, we have combined three different active ingredients in N°1 Heartvi BALANCE, but the goal behind this formula's development was to support your cardiovascular system. Eat healthily, remember to exercise, and monitor your health: pay attention to hypertension and cholesterol - these elements will make your heart grateful! ;)
