Description

Arteries are Blood Vessels that carry Blood away from the Heart to the Capillaries.

 

These Substances Enhance the Health of the Arteries

Amino Acids

 Ethylene-Diamine-Tetra-Acetate (EDTA) - the synthetic Amino Acid used in Chelation Therapy – may improve the flexibility of the walls (Endothelium) of the Arteries. 

 

Carbohydrates

 Chondroitin Sulfate (CSA) concentrates in the walls of the Arteries.

 Galacturonic Acid may interact with LDL Cholesterol in the Arteries and may dislodge LDL Cholesterol from the Arteries. 

 

Hormones

 Melatonin may regulate the tone of the (Cerebral) Arteries.  [1]

 

Lipids

 Oleic Acid may improve the "suppleness" of the Arteries. 

 Phosphatidylcholine may prevent Cholesterol from adhering to the Arteries. 

 

Minerals

 Germanium may improve the health of the Arteries. 

 Silicon may be essential for the structural integrity, elasticity and permeability of the Arteries.  [2]

 

Neurotransmitters

 Nitric Oxide (NO) helps to control BloodPressure - NO formed in the Endothelial Cells of Arteries passes directly into smooth muscle that surrounds the Artery, causing the Artery to relax and subsequently leading to a reduction in Blood Pressure.
