Most vascular problems are caused by a lethal combination of endothelial dysfunction and overactivation of blood-clotting cells.1 Research has shown that polyphenols — beneficial compounds found in plants —have multiple applications for cardiac health.

The new Super Polyphenol Extracts with CocoaGold™ contains a diverse blend of polyphenols — including cocoa, apple, aronia, and green tea — to support vascular health and fight the processes that damage aging arteries.*

Standardized cocoa polyphenols have been shown to induce rapid and significant improvement in endothelial and platelet function.1 Additionally, studies of cocoa polyphenols show that they can maintain already healthy HDL, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels in those already within normal ranges.2-6*

Scientists have found that apple polyphenols help maintain healthy blood lipids,7 and also support healthy bones.8,9 The highly concentrated polyphenols in aronia provide cardiovascular energizing benefits, plus also help with regulating inflammatory reactions.10-12 Green tea polyphenols have shown beneficial effects in protecting cellular DNA integrity throughout the body.13
