Boswellic Acid Reduces Hardening of Arteries

A new study has shown that boswellic acid, a natural herbal dietary supplement, dramatically reduced plaque formation in mice. In the experiment mice were injected with a toxin (LPS) that produces circulatory inflammation resulting in arteriosclerosis (hardening of arteries). Mice treated with boswellic acid were far more able to withstand the toxic exposure, showing half the size of lesions compared to untreated mice.

Don’t Forget Vitamin C for Your Arteries

Vitamin C has been around so long some people forget just what a great nutrient it is. A comprehensive analysis of the biochemistry of vitamin C as it relates to important cells lining your arteries concludes by saying that vitamin C plays a favorable role in ameliorating the earliest stages of inflammation that leads to atherosclerosis.

Bone Loss Linked to Hardening Arteries

Postmenopausal women have another good reason to do everything they can to help maintain healthy bone density – the failure to do so is now linked to an increase in plaque in the carotid artery

Magnesium Deficiency Sets the Stage for Plaque in the Arteries

A new animal study shows that low levels of magnesium promotes plaque formation in the arteries. During the study period magnesium deficient animals developed significantly more plaque in their aortas.

Blueberries Activate Key Antioxidant Enzyme Systems

Researchers at our United States Department of Agriculture are hard at work proving the extreme health benefits of blueberries. A new study shows that blueberries activate key antioxidant enzymes including glutathione and super oxide dismutase. The activation of these enzymes significantly reduced arterial plaque formation in an animal model.

Nobiletin Helps Prevent Fatty Liver, High Cholesterol, Weight Gain, and Insulin Resistance

A new study with mice that are programmed to rapidly develop insulin resistance, fatty liver, and atherosclerosis found that nobiletin, a citrus-derived polymethoxylatedflavone, prevented the development of all three problems.
