The cardiovascular system, comprised of the heart, the blood and the blood vessels, makes it possible to circulate blood throughout the body in order to deliver life-giving oxygen and nutrients. As the arteries of the heart pump blood away from the heart and through the circulatory system of veins and capillaries, the passageways become more small and narrow, requiring the proper level of blood pressure in order to maintain good health.

Individuals who want to avoid health issues surrounding their heart or their circulatory system are proactive about providing cardiovascular support to keep the heart muscle, veins, arteries and capillaries free and clear from plaque build-up.

Maintaining a healthy weight, participating in regular cardiovascular exercises, and consuming a low-fat, high fiber diet are some of the best ways to offer cardiovascular support to the body. There are also dietary supplements that provide specific nutrients that help to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.

Hawthorn extract helps to support the integrity of the structure of the complex network of veins throughout the body, in addition to helping strengthen the heart muscle. Beta-Sitosterol Plant Sterols help the body maintain healthy serum cholesterol levels to prevent high blood pressure and the build-up of unhealthy fats that constrict passage of blood through the circulatory system.

Getting an adequate daily supply of fiber helps to cut down the amount of cholesterol the body absorbs from its food intake. Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10, is an important enzyme that helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils are also an important part of a cardiovascular support plan, because they help reduce the levels of unhealthy fats in the bloodstream, improve blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
