Heart and Blood Vessel Health - Part 1
Part 2 will be published on July 22, 2024.
Let's consider the first of the two most incredible nutrional formulas for heart and blood vessel health.
Optimal BFF
Optimal BFF contains over 50 game-changing ingredients proven to
nutritionally support restoration of artery health, youthful blood flow
and helping to protect you from related diseases. The ingredients in
Optimal B.F.F. can literally turn your health around within minutes
thanks to a huge boost of methylation, anabolism, and nitric oxide that
dramatically increase your blood vessel flexibility and blood flow.
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you’re fine. Research shows that
blood flow starts declining by your thirties, healthy or not.
So, don’t ignore the early warning signs. They may be your ONLY signs…
Part of the aging process means a steady decline in many bodily
functions and processes, including circulation.
We experience telltale early signs via:
- Poor circulation
- High blood pressure
- Brain fog
- Achy joints
- Cold hands and feet
- Numbness
- And more
And
if your circulation has been struggling for a while, it manifests as
coronary artery disease, pulmonary disease, nervous system issues,
Raynaud’s disease, kidney damage, hypertension, stroke, and so on.
Remember, research shows N-O levels start dropping in your 30’s, meaning
it’s down 75% by your 70’s. So, the poorer your health, the faster the
decline. Poor circulation makes you prone to a gradual buildup of plaque
in your arteries. It’s so gradual that it can take decades before you
notice what’s happened--usually in the form of a heart attack.
Statistically, that’s the only warning most people ever get.
“In more than 50% of people with heart disease, a sudden, unpredicted,
deadly heart attack is the first sign of heart disease,” said Nathan
Bryant, Ph.D., Author, The Nitric Oxide (NO) Solution.
Your body depends on your circulatory health when it comes to getting
enough oxygen. Perhaps the most important thing your body needs is
oxygen, so this isn’t just a blood flow issue. If your cells don’t
receive an adequate supply of oxygen, you’re not going to reach or
maintain optimal health no matter what you do.
You can turn this situation around by supplementing with nutrients that boost nitric oxide.
We believe Optimal BFF (previously named "Optimal Opti-BFF") is the most
advanced blood vessel flexibility formula, combining nitrates from
creatine nitrate, fruits and vegetables to create a fountain of Nitric
Oxide in your endothelium and an army of antioxidants to protect N-O. On
top of that, the promotion of methylation from creatine helps slow the
aging process and keep cellular processes at optimal functioning, along
with stopping muscle loss and keep you strong.
This formula also contains natural caffeine from green tea to help perk
you up and further aid disease-preventing circulation. All together this
means:
One powerful formula with over 50 game-changing ingredients proven to
restore artery health, thus restoring youthful blood flow and protecting
you from related diseases.
The benefits of all these ingredients put together:
- Increase N-O levels in minutes
- Blood flow like that from the days of your youth
- More oxygen circulation
- Better lung capacity
- Warmer extremities
- Stronger immune system
- Reduced inflammation
- Lower LDL cholesterol
- Healthy aging
- Healthier heart
- Healthier hair and skin
The Nobel Prize-Winning Molecule
Nitric
Oxide (N-O) is a gas produced in every tissue and organ in your body,
specifically in the lining of your blood vessels. This gas triggers a
chemical reaction that tells arteries to relax, which leads to increased
oxygen and blood flow. Poor circulation leads to so many health
problems because blood is what transports oxygen, nutrients, water, and
hormones all over your body. Reversing this with N-O is the simple,
safe, and effective approach.
It helps boost oxygen levels, which means energy levels go up, ensures
nutrient and delivery, which means faster repair and excellent recovery,
and your risk of multiple health issues just about vanishes.
You see, when your blood doesn’t flow freely, your body undergoes
similar die-off. Without adequate blood flow, your body doesn’t receive
the oxygen and nutrients it needs to flourish. It slowly withers like a
dying plant.
When your body senses sluggish blood flow, it tells your heart to pump
harder. The poorer the flow, the harder your heart works, and the higher
your blood pressure. If this vicious cycles goes on too long, you
suffer cardiac events. There’s no telling when your heart will finally
give out, but give out it will if you don’t do anything about it.
The Magic of N-O
You
can divert your health away from such an impending disaster by giving
your body the nutrients it needs to clear out plaque buildup and restore
optimal blood flow. The ingredients in Optimal B.F.F. do just that, and
start working quicker than you might think.
You may experience anything from an energy boost, warmer extremities, or
even better focus. It varies from person to person, depending on where
the problem areas are, but everyone will experience dramatic improvement
in circulation after boosting Nitric Oxide.
You know how food either gives you immediate energy, or stores it for
later use? Like how chocolate gives you a sugar rush, but athletes will
eat a pasta dinner the night before a game? Well, N-O is the nutrient
equivalent of a sugar rush without the side effects. Your body can’t
store it, and it doesn’t last long in your system.
Now, most N-O is produced from an amino acid called L-Arginine, BUT the
catch is, as you age, your body doesn’t produce as much. So, although
Arginine and Citrulline are great at helping with Growth Hormone, it
isn’t always effective at boosting N-O as we age, and there are more
powerful nutrients.
The synergistic trio of nutrients in Optimal B.F.F. help boost nitric
oxide levels in your endothelium within the lining of your arteries and
blood vessels. This boost triggers your arteries to relax and become
more flexible, which means restoring healthy blood flow and clearing out
plaque hardening and stiffening your arteries.
The Three Facets of Flexible Blood Vessels & Great Blood Flow
1. Nitric Oxide: Natural Vasolidators from Fruits, Vegetables & Creatine Nitrate
If blood flow's weakest point is near your heart, it develops into
coronary artery disease. If it’s around your lungs, then it’s pulmonary
disease. Or if blood struggling to reach your brain, you’re well on your
way to getting a stroke. The list goes on and on. No matter the problem
area when it comes to poor circulation, nitric oxide levels are almost
always low.
Food nitrates are perhaps the most important nutrients you can give your
body to boost N-O levels and turn your health around. Optimal B.F.F.
works its magic to boost N-O dramatically to ALL organs, meaning it can
function as a natural Viagra. Viagra works off increased blood flow by
increasing N-O levels.
Not only do bodybuilders and athletes use it for improved vascularity,
performance, and circulation, it works quickly and is non-hormonal,
meaning it’s safe to use consistently.
Nitrates like the ones found in foods like beets and berries increases
blood flow by helping your blood vessels expand. And when your blood is
flowing freely, that means every last organ in your body is functioning
better, which in turn means your risk for disease takes a nosedive.
Don’t chase around symptoms. Instead, treat your whole body at once and
give it the nutrients it needs to heal and maintain optimal health by
increasing nitric oxide levels.
Get In-the-Know on Homocysteine
Homocysteine is a chemical we all have in our blood. However, elevated
levels can cause blood vessel irritation, showing an increased risk for
atherosclerosis, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke, or blood
clots.
You can correct homocysteine levels by eating more antioxidant-rich
fruits like the ones found in this formula, which in turn helps increase
N-O to levels that can effectively decrease homocysteine. Research
shows that both Creatine and nitrate-rich raw fruits and vegetables help
lower homocysteine by 15%.
2. Creatine: Methylation & Anabolism
Creatine Nitrate can be considered the rockstar nutrient when it comes
to promoting blood vessel flexibility and excellent blood flow. In
addition to helping your body produce N-O, it’s an excellent catalyst
for promoting methylation and anabolism.
Methylation is a process that adds select molecules to various
components of proteins, DNA, and so on so they all function correctly
and efficiently. A great example is serotonin, the feel-good brain
chemical. If not methylated, it becomes dormant and leads to depression
and anxiety. Creatine donates the select molecules your body needs to
promote methylation.
Methylation is a vital metabolic process that happens in every cell and
every organ of our body. Life would not exist without it.
These normal reactions occur billions of times every second but, like
N-O levels, it decreases as you age. So, if you improve methylation, you
improve function and overall health and wellness. You can make this
easier by pumping yourself with an effective dose of Creatine.
Methylation is hugely important when it comes to the brief life span of
N-O. And remember, your body can’t store N-O like it can other
nutrients, so you have to create a biological environment for N-O to
last long enough to get your arteries and blood vessels to relax and let
blood flow.
Anabolism is the scientific term for the biological state of muscle
growth. Your body is constantly breaking things down and building back
up. However, when it comes to muscle, it’s easy for the body to consider
muscle mass expendable for the sake of creating energy. This leads to
weakness, poor posture, slower metabolism, and lowered immunity.
Creatine is a key nutrient when it comes to promoting muscle strength.
Since your heart doesn’t take a break and is made up of muscle tissue
and a network of blood vessels, you want your heart to stay strong and
healthy.
Creatine has been proven to act as an antioxidant, promote proper muscle
pH, and help with hydration at the cellular level, three things your
body needs to repair and grow muscles, thus stay strong and keep your
heart healthy.
Methylation and anabolism go hand-in-hand, which is why Creatine is
insanely popular in the fitness and athletics world. Creatine provides
the nutrients necessary to promote methylation, which in turn promotes
strong muscles. This cycle leads to better blood vessel flexibility,
better blood flow, and a healthy vascular system. And with all that
being healthier, your risk for dozens of diseases takes a sharp drop.
Hundreds of studies show the benefits of Creatine:
- Increased muscle strength and size
- Enhanced recovery
- Improved speed performance
- Enhances brain function
3. Antioxidants: Total Protection from Free Radicals
The ingredients that boost the nutrients in this formula to rock star
status are the antioxidants from 35 fruits and vegetables per chewable.
These fruits are full of nitrates, which are converted into N-O in your
body. The antioxidants also protect N-O molecules from free radicals,
helping prolong the boost and increase the formula’s efficacy.
Bearing the need for antioxidants in mind, 100 mg of antioxidant-rich
phytonutrients are packed into every chewable, ensuring N-O molecules
are fully protected from all five types of free radicals.
This means seriously cutting down on free radicals in your blood and arteries.
N-O is a free radical magnet because oxygen is present. Free radicals
love to steal the very breath from cells and tear them apart. You can’t
entirely get away from them. They’re a part of life. And since N-O
excels at attracting free radicals, it needs a strong line of
antioxidants ready to defend it.
In order for that defense to be strong, it needs to be able to
neutralize all five free radicals: Peroxyl, Hydroxyl, Peroxynitrite,
Superoxide Anion, and Singlet Oxygen. Yes, they have big, crazy names,
but they can deal damage that matches their namesake. To beat such a foe
and keep N-O alive long enough to be effective, you need powerful,
proven fruits and vegetables like the ones in Optimal B.F.F.
This formula contains 35 fruits and vegetables picked at the peak of
ripeness, like pineapple, strawberry, noni, coffee berry, broccoli
sprouts, acerola cherry, camu camu, and more. Also, organic juices, like
raspberry, cranberry, strawberry, blackberry, and carrot, are added for
their high ORAC value. All these ingredients remain completely raw with
all their enzymes, vitamins, and minerals intact.
