Description:
C.V. Support Formula™, provided by DouglasLaboratories, is a synergistic and comprehensivecombination of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbals and other nutrients, carefully formulated andspecifically designed to support the healthy structureand function of the cardiovascular system.
Health Functions:
Studies show that a high percentage of adults inNorth America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or moreessential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only formaintaining good health, but also for the dietary management of the body's structure as well as theoptimum functioning of its various systems, including the cardiovascular system. C.V. SupportFormula™has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, traceelements, and other nutrients without danger of toxic build-up or of side effects. Each ingredient is selectedin consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential,and long-term safety. Certain nutrients such as betacarotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B-complexvitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidantprotection, energy production and maintenance of healthy blood cells, nervous system, hormonalbalance and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms.C.V. Support Formula™ contains not only the baseformula of Douglas Laboratories' Ultra-Specific Nutrition 2000 Series™ that offers intensive supportfor the healthy functioning of the body in general including the heart and vascular system, but also ablend of herbs and additional nutrients specifically formulated for maintenance of healthy cardiovascularstructure and function. Herbs such as hawthorn and ginkgo have vasodilatory effects on thecardiovascular system, lowering the resistance to blood flow in the peripheral vascular system. Otherpositive actions on cardiovascular structure and function include inotropic effects, increasing heartrate, contractile force, and nerve conductivity. C.V. Support Formula™also provides potent antioxidantprotection against free radical-induced oxidative damage to the cardiovascular system. Ingredients:
