People need to take supplements because you don't get enough vitamins and minerals from the food you eat. Some of these vitamins and minerals are extremely important for your health. They make a world of difference. They can save lives. They can extend lives.

Why Is Vitamin D Important?

You spend 20 minutes in the sun on a sunny day in the summer and your body produces 10 to 20,000 international units over the next few days, but you get only minuscule amounts from food. It is hugely important for the immune-system prevention of cell growth and for your bones obviously and regulating blood pressure and cholesterol.

Why Is Vitamin C Important?

It’s important for people with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, for recovery purposes, and for helping prevent and reverse arterial plaque. You don't get enough vitamin C from food, so it's really important to supplement vitamin C when you have these conditions.

How To Get More Vitamin C

It is difficult to get enough vitamin C from food, especially when you need high amounts, that is, if you have high blood pressure, plaques in the arteries, cardiovascular disease in general, bone loss and so on. You would need to eat lots and lots of fruit, especially tropical fruit, and that's not very practical for the vast majority of people.

How Much Is Needed?

The amount people should use each day varies from person to person based on need. A healthy person can probably do away with 200 to 500 milligrams, granted they are eating well, following a healthy lifestyle and diet. But someone with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease and other types of conditions would do well to take at least 1,000 if not 2,000 more milligrams a day.

Another really important function of vitamin C, which is not very well known, is that it helps to balance cholesterol levels in the body. It actually helps slow down the production of cholesterol and increases its elimination. This particular study showed that you need at least 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C to achieve that.

What Is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)?

It is a substance the body produces that facilitates, and participates in the production of energy in the body, energy to sustain life. It is important for energy production, and there are a lot of CoQ10 in your muscles.

The heart is your most important muscle, and so it too contains a large amount of it. When levels diminish in your muscles, it becomes weaker, and people may be even more prone to developing congestive heart failures. As we get older, the body produces less and less, and we get very little from our diet.

What is Cardioflex?

It contains the kind of vitamins and minerals that facilitate the repair of the arteries and the removal of plaque from the arteries. Cardiovascular disease is predominantly a disease that results to the narrowing and hardening of the arteries. 90% of cardiovascular disease basically manifests itself in the form of atherosclerosis, which is plaque in the arteries. It constitutes insurance against blocked arteries.

What Does It contain?

In addition to vitamin C, it contains high amounts of lysine and proline, which are also extremely important and are needed for the production of collagen and the repair of the arteries. Vitamin C is an antioxidant. So is vitamin E and selenium. It also has Coenzyme Q10. It has some electrolytes, such as magnesium and potassium, which are also very important for the heart.

Who Can Benefit From Taking It?

Anybody with risk factors for cardiovascular disease or suffer from cardiovascular disease, anybody with high blood pressure where the high blood pressure is caused by narrowing and hardening of the arteries, which is the case with most people, say, over 50 or 60. So people with high blood pressure, plaque in the arteries, and other forms of cardiovascular disease where you're looking to strengthen the heart can benefit from it.

Other than cardiovascular disease, also people who are looking to recover quickly from surgery, perhaps, would do well to use it. People with chronic muscle inflammations, where the production of collagen is required, would do well to use it, as well. The formula is absolutely safe. It doesn't interact with other medications. So, as long as you can tolerate vitamin C well, it will be safe for you.

Daily Dosage

People who follow a healthy diet can do one scoop containing 2,000 milligrams of vitamin C, so one scoop per day should be enough. You'll probably get more mileage from that scoop if you use half a scoop twice a day. But people with real symptoms of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, poor circulation, chest pain, angina pain, and so on, should take at least two scoops a day.

How Can Athletes Benefit From It?

In addition to its ability to help improve cardiovascular disease, because it is so good at improving collagen production in the body and reducing inflammation and facilitating repair, weekend warriors and people who work out, endurance athletes, and so on, would certainly benefit. When a person works out, tendons and ligaments get stretched. There are collagen membranes that surround muscle fibres that get stretched, as well, and so repairing collagen in tendons, ligaments, and between muscles can help expedite recovery.
