CELERY SEED POWDER (APIUM GRAVEOLENS) contains 3-n-butylphthalide (3nB), a compound unique to celery that has been clinically shown to lower blood pressure.1

Subsequent animal studies found that a very small amount of 3nB lowered blood pressure by 12 to 14 percent and also lowered cholesterol by about 7 percent. It appears to have a similar effect in humans.2

Celery seed contains boron, calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamins a, B-complex, and C.3

It also contains Apigenin, an ingredient that contributes to healthy blood pressure and acts as an anti-inflammatory for the heart and arteries.4 

HAWTHORN BERRY (CRATAEGUS OXYACANTHA) protects arterial walls from damage caused by the build up of plaque.5 The bioflavonoids in Hawthorn berry help the heart muscle pump more efficiently while increasing the strength of heart muscle contractions and normalizing irregular heart beat.6

Additionally, Hawthorn berry is utilized to reduce angina by aiding blood flow to and from the heart more easily.7  It supports the routine action of the body to block the action of a blood constricting enzyme called ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme)8

Following a report by the German Federal Ministry of Health, Hawthorn has gained full recognition as a heart remedy in Europe.9  

CHAMOMILE (FLOWERS) standardized to one percent Apigenin lowers anxiety and stress which is one of the major contributors to high blood pressure.10 Chamomile helps to regulate or normalize blood pressure because of its strong calming effect.11

Like celery seed, Apigenin is also one of the constituents of Chamomile and acts as an anti-inflammatory for the heart and arteries.12

GINKGO BILOBA LEAF EXTRACT (guaranteed 28.8 mg 24% Flavo-glycosides) has been shown to be effective against oxygen deprivation of the heart muscle.13 Studies have demonstrated this herb is a natural anti-oxidant and supports cardiac health.14

One of Ginkgo biloba's most important active ingredients, ginkgolide, has been clinically shown to be just as effective as standard pharmaceutical drugs in treating irregular heart beats.15 

Studies also indicate that Ginkgo biloba can assist the body's ability to reduce blood 'stickiness', thus lowering the risk of blood clots.16

COLEUS FORSKOHLII ROOT (18% forskolin extract) has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve heart function by relaxing arteries and smooth muscles of the heart.17

Forskolin may also help dilate blood vessels and improve the forcefulness with which the heart pumps blood. A preliminary trial found that forskolin reduced blood pressure and improved heart function in people with cardiomyopathy.18 

Studies further demonstrated forskolin to have cardiovascular benefits due to its inotropic19, anti-inflammatory20 and anti-platelet properties.21

COENZYME Q 10 (UBIQUINONE) is a naturally occurring nutrient clinically shown to lower blood pressure quite effectively.22 Documented studies showed that CoQ10 was more effective and safer than the use of anti-hypertensive drugs.23
