Heart Disease is the
single leading cause of death in the United States! Over 61
million people in America have some form of cardiovascular
disease. Over a million Americans will lose their lives to
cardiovascular disease in 2003!1
The most vital aspects
of heart disease prevention include having a good nutrient-rich,
healthy diet, plenty of physical activity, and watching blood
pressure and cholesterol levels.
Additionally, through
research we know that specific nutrients are necessary to ensure
coronary health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular
disease. Here are just a few examples. A special
form of garlic extract (AGE) effectively lowers cholesterol2
and thins the blood.3
Supplementation of
vitamins C and E reduce lipid peroxidation (a condition leading
to heart disease).4 Daily consumption of folic
acid, vitamin B(12), and vitamin B(6) have been shown to lower
total homocysteine concentrations (associated with
cardiovascular disease).5 Vitamin B-3 (niacin) is
known to help lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and raise
the HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol).6 Chromium
also raises HDL levels.7
However, in order for
these nutrients to provide the necessary benefits in our bodies,
they need to come in the most bioavailable, whole food (see
Vitamins), and amino acid chelated (see Minerals) form. Vitamins should be taken straight from foods in their whole
form, not in their partial form or made in a lab. For example,
vitamin C taken in its synthetic form, Ascorbic Acid, has
actually been shown to thicken arterial walls, contributing to
heart disease. 8
Additionally, minerals
have been proven to be the most bioavailable and most readily
absorbed by the body in the amino acid chelated form. This
form leaves no waste or toxins in the body, such as calcium
citrate or carbonate, which can cause additional stress. Other
supplements may claim to lower cholesterol and reduce heart
disease because they contain these nutrients, but many are
actually damaging to your health if they do not come in the
proper form.
The Greatest Vitamin
in the World only contains these nutrients in the forms
proven to effectively reduce the risk for heart disease and
lower cholesterol levels. Additionally, the nutrients
contained in this formula are the most bioavailable forms on the
market, ensuring that your body is able to receive and use all
of the nutrients you take in, therefore lowering your risk for
heart disease and high cholesterol. The Greatest Vitamin in
the World is excited to educate people about the critical
importance of health and proper nutrition. Do not allow yourself
to be among the millions who will ignore the most important
asset they have, their health.
