Overview

Maintaining healthy blood pressure levels has become a primary concern for many in the United States and across the globe. Blood pressure fluctuations cause a variety of cardiovascular challenges, and this is one of the most common cardiometabolic challenges experienced. In the Framingham study, the risk of having blood pressure challenges over a lifetime was 90%, while it is estimated that the global burden will increase to 1.56 billion by 2025.1 While traditional therapies are available, most are not well-tolerated, making diet and lifestyle changes, such as whole food-based diets, increasing physical activity and targeted nutrient support, the optimal way to maintain blood pressure levels already within the normal range.2

There is abundant evidence that dietary factors play a central role in determining cardiovascular risk driven by several potential mechanisms.3 Among various factors determining human health, dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet or the DASH diet model have been demonstrated to play a role in helping maintain vascular health and preserving optimal blood pressure levels.4 A common feature of such dietary patterns is the richness in plant-derived foods, which are high in fiber and phytochemicals proven to be antioxidant powerhouses. Polyphenols are a large group of plant metabolites that exert a variety of key biological activities including increasing satiety hormones (like GLP-1 [glucagonlike peptide-1]) and decreasing hunger hormones (like ghrelin). In addition, targeted plant bioactives have also been shown to stimulate 5’adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which has been shown to be a primary activating mechanism for human metabolism. AMPK may create such positive effects through its capability to modulate energy homeostasis, total daily energy expenditure, lipid oxidation and metabolism.5

This product provides a targeted blend of key polyphenols that maintain energy and metabolic efficiency, maintain normal blood pressure levels, and support overall cardiometabolic function.
