An Insurance Policy For Your Arteries

Policosanol - Keep Them Clean!

Policosanol is a wonder supplement for those concerned about protecting their arteries and controlling cholesterol levels.

Policosanol:

Decreases LDL (bad) cholesterol
Increases HDL (good) cholesterol
Removes plaque deposits from artery walls
Binds to oxidized LDL and stops it adhering to artery walls
Stops platelets from sticking together preventing blood clots
Improves circulation where blood flow is restricted
Reduces visceral fat around the waist and hips

Aloe Vera and Pomegranate Juices - Keep Them Strong!

Aloe Vera is already well known for its healing properties for burns and digestive problems, but it’s equally important for anyone concerned about blood vessels, bones, joints, skin, hair, nails, and more.

In a scientific study done on oral consumption of aloe vera, levels of hyaluronic acid and collagen nearly doubled in study participants after only 8 weeks!

Pomegranate has a protective effect on arteries. It contains 3 times the antioxidants of green tea or red wine.

Recommended use: mix 4 tbsp (start slowly) of whole leaf aloe vera juice with 2-3 ounces of pomegranate juice for a revitalizing cocktail.
