When we talk about healthy aging for women, conversations tend to focus on menopause, hormones, and breast and bone health. While these are all important topics regarding women and aging, we can’t forget to look at some other crucial areas regarding a woman’s overall health and longevity. Heart health in particular is an important–but often sidelined–topic when it comes to women’s health.* While it can seem like we have no control over how well we age, there are vital steps a woman can take to do her best to ensure heart health throughout her lifetime. Focusing on a healthy diet and consistent exercise, while also managing mental and emotional well-being, are critical to maintaining heart health. There are also powerful supplements that women can incorporate into their daily health routines to support cardiovascular wellness and overall healthy aging.* Olive Extract EP20™ for Overall Healthy Aging* Nothing says healthy aging quite like the Mediterranean diet, full of lean proteins, healthy fats, and antioxidant-rich dietary staples. If you’re looking for a way to reap some of the benefits of the Mediterranean diet yourself, try Olive Extract EP20. This exciting new formula supports an array of healthy aging benefits, including immune function, balanced cholesterol levels, and overall cardiovascular health.*† The monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in olives and olive oils provide many health benefits, but those aren’t the only healthy components that make up these healthy foods. Polyphenols and other compounds in olive fruits and leaves (including oleanolic acid, oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, and alpha tocopherol) support healthy aging, cognitive function, and the cardiovascular system, plus protect against the risk of oxidative stress. Because Olive Extract EP20 delivers a full spectrum of olive fruit and leaf compounds in one concentrated supplement, it provides a convenient, consistent source of these nutrients daily.* Aronia Berry Complex™ for a Strong Heart* Another simple way to support heart health as you age is with Aronia Berry Complex. This product combines Aronia Berry Extract AB40™ with French Grape Seed Extract VX1® to deliver powerful antioxidant protection and support virtually every aspect of cardiovascular health.* Aronia berries by themselves have an incredible antioxidant ORAC value, outshining the benefits of many other berries, including strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries. But they also have a tart taste that many people don’t enjoy. In order to make aronia berries palatable, they’d need to be blended with a high quantity of sugar, which would diminish any health gains from the botanical. Additionally, with berries, your intake of compounds would vary greatly depending on when and where the berries were harvested. That’s why an aronia extract standardized for 40 percent polyphenols–like Aronia Berry Extract AB40–is a better choice. It provides a consistent level of beneficial compounds in a convenient form. The other ingredient in Aronia Berry Complex–French Grape Seed Extract VX1–features powerful health-promoting nutrients called oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) that support a wide range of health needs for women. These OPCs are small and easily absorbable, allowing them to deliver maximum benefits. Taken on a daily basis, this supplement supports weight management††, cholesterol balance†, focus and concentration, blood pressure health†, cellular protection^, and healthy immune function.*
