Heart Center Boost

DR. Joe talks about some of the key ingredients in Heart Center Boost

The Science

The heart is an active muscle that beats on a moment-to-moment basis throughout your entire life. It pumps blood throughout the body, providing oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. For your heart to work at its optimal level, it is essential to provide it with the necessary raw materials that help it to function with more strength, endurance, resilience, and flexibility.

Most people aren’t aware that their heart center is an integral part of their immune system. Heart Center Boost provides powerful antioxidants and coenzymes along with immune boosting plant-based ingredients to strengthen your immune system on a daily basis.

Ingredients

L-Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate
L-Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate is a precursor to nitric oxide (NO), which plays critical roles in neurotransmission, vasorelaxation, cytotoxicity, and immunity. It has also been shown to boost the activity of a particular type of immune cell called T cells, which play a vital role in the immune response against viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C is involved in many parts of the immune system. It helps to encourage the production of white blood cells, known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infections.

Arabinogalactan
A natural immune booster first discovered in the larch tree in the 19th century. Recent research reveals it may help prevent colds, combat infections, and relieve allergies.

Creatine 
Creatine plays a significant role in the phosphagen energy system that is responsible for synthesizing ATP, which stores and transports vital energy within the cells of our body.

L-Glutamine
Glutamine helps gut function, the immune system, and other essential processes in the body, especially during times of stress. It is also important for providing "fuel" to many different cells in the body.

Colostrum (ColostruMune™ 2570)
Colostrum (ColostruMune™ 2570) is 25% immunoglobulins and 70% protein. It contains growth factors, milk proteins and other essential minerals and vitamins. Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, found in colostrum act as a critical part of the immune response by specifically recognizing and binding to particular antigens, such as bacteria or viruses, thus aiding in their destruction.

L-Ornithine Alpha Ketoglutarate
Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) is used by the body to make many substances related to cell growth and repair. It has been used in medical research to treat HIV/AIDS, severe burns, and to improve healing time. L-ornithine also has been known to stimulate growth hormone.

Olive Leaf Extract
Research shows oleuropein, the main component in olive leaf extract, has antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-stimulating properties.

Citrulline-L DL-Malate 2:1
Citrulline malate (CM) is the addition of malic acid to citrulline and has been shown to combat fatigue and promote ATP production which provides energy needed by your body. It also supports the production of nitric oxide, which promotes vasodilation, blood flow, and nutrient uptake.

Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral and cofactor in more than 450 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation.

BCAA 2:1:1 (Branched-Chain Amino Acids)
BCAAs are the essential amino acids – leucine, isoleucine and valine – which comprise around one third of the protein found in human muscle tissue. They help preserve your stores of glycogen, the primary fuel your muscles use for energy production and repair.

L-Glycine
L-Glycine is an amino acid that your body uses to create proteins, which it needs for the growth and maintenance of tissue, as well as for making important substances, such as hormones and enzymes. It is also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your cells against oxidative damage caused by free radicals, which are thought to underlie many diseases.

Choline
Choline is an essential nutrient that supports the structural integrity of cell membranes. Choline also acts to enhance cell signaling, support neural transmission, heighten muscle function and assist in the transport of fat. Choline is the precursor to acetylcholine, an essential neurotransmitter, which has been shown to improve memory, muscle performance, and heart rate.

Coenzyme Q10
CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant and vital coenzyme that resides in the mitochondria of your cells. It plays a critical role in enhancing cellular energy. One of the body’s largest concentrations of CoQ10 is in your heart, which is one reason why this nutrient is important in the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system.
