Women and Aging: Heart Health Matters

When we talk about healthy aging for women, conversations tend to focus on menopause, hormones, and breast and bone health. While these are all important topics regarding women and aging, we can’t forget to look at some other crucial areas regarding a woman’s overall health and longevity. Heart health in particular is an important–but often sidelined–topic when it comes to women’s health.*

While it can seem like we have no control over how well we age, there are vital steps a woman can take to do her best to ensure heart health throughout her lifetime. Focusing on a healthy diet and consistent exercise, while also managing mental and emotional well-being, are critical to maintaining heart health. There are also powerful supplements that women can incorporate into their daily health routines to support cardiovascular wellness and overall healthy aging.*

Olive Extract EP20™ for Overall Healthy Aging*

Nothing says healthy aging quite like the Mediterranean diet, full of lean proteins, healthy fats, and antioxidant-rich dietary staples. If you’re looking for a way to reap some of the benefits of the Mediterranean diet yourself, try Olive Extract EP20. This exciting new formula supports an array of healthy aging benefits, including immune function, balanced cholesterol levels, and overall cardiovascular health.*†

The monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in olives and olive oils provide many health benefits, but those aren’t the only healthy components that make up these healthy foods. Polyphenols and other compounds in olive fruits and leaves (including oleanolic acid, oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, and alpha tocopherol) support healthy aging, cognitive function, and the cardiovascular system, plus protect against the risk of oxidative stress. Because Olive Extract EP20 delivers a full spectrum of olive fruit and leaf compounds in one concentrated supplement, it provides a convenient, consistent source of these nutrients daily.*

Aronia Berry Complex™ for a Strong Heart*

Another simple way to support heart health as you age is with Aronia Berry Complex. This product combines Aronia Berry Extract AB40™ with French Grape Seed Extract VX1® to deliver powerful antioxidant protection and support virtually every aspect of cardiovascular health.*

Aronia berries by themselves have an incredible antioxidant ORAC value, outshining the benefits of many other berries, including strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries. But they also have a tart taste that many people don’t enjoy. In order to make aronia berries palatable, they’d need to be blended with a high quantity of sugar, which would diminish any health gains from the botanical. Additionally, with berries, your intake of compounds would vary greatly depending on when and where the berries were harvested. That’s why an aronia extract standardized for 40 percent polyphenols–like Aronia Berry Extract AB40–is a better choice. It provides a consistent level of beneficial compounds in a convenient form.

The other ingredient in Aronia Berry Complex–French Grape Seed Extract VX1–features powerful health-promoting nutrients called oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) that support a wide range of health needs for women. These OPCs are small and easily absorbable, allowing them to deliver maximum benefits. Taken on a daily basis, this supplement supports weight management††, cholesterol balance†, focus and concentration, blood pressure health†, cellular protection^, and healthy immune function.*

Red Sage Plus for Healthy Blood Flow*

A critical component of cardiovascular health as you age is healthy blood flow. Red Sage Plus was developed to support nitric oxide production for healthy blood flow and circulation. This formula combines two heart-friendly botanicals, HRS65™ red sage and HRG80™ red ginseng, to support strong, flexible blood vessels and arteries.*

HRS65 red sage is a trusted botanical that delivers powerful, cell-protecting^ antioxidants to support healthy blood vessels and blood pressure levels, healthy cholesterol and lipid balance†, and nitric oxide production for optimal blood flow.* In addition to maintaining overall heart health, this botanical also supports kidney and brain function to further assist in healthy aging.*

The other important component of the Red Sage Plus formula is HRG80 red ginseng–a clinically studied adaptogen that can help you stay resilient in the face of occasional stress. This is incredibly crucial to overall healthy aging, as stress is a major factor in heart health–and many other facets of health, too.‡ HRG80 red ginseng also supports healthy heart muscle function and nitric oxide production for healthy energy and circulation.*

Both the red sage and red ginseng in this formula are grown hydroponically, to prevent contamination and pesticide exposure that is commonly seen in these types of plants. Plus, this unique growing method helps concentrate the beneficial compounds of each botanical, so they are able to deliver optimal benefits in supplement form.*
