Stroke
Stroke or brain attack is one of the
most preventable of all life-threatening health problems. The
two primary risk factors for stroke are those that are
controllable and those that are not. It's important to
remember that having one or more uncontrollable stroke risk
factors DOES NOT MAKE A PERSON FATED TO HAVE A STROKE. With
proper attention to controllable stroke risk factors, the
impact of uncontrollable factors can be greatly
reduced.

The most vital aspects of stroke
prevention includes having a good nutrient rich healthy diet,
plenty of physical activity, and watching your blood pressure
and cholesterol levels.
Additionally, through research we know
that specific nutrients are necessary in ensuring coronary
health and in reducing the risk of cardiovascular
disease. Here are just a few examples. A special
form of garlic extract (AGE) effectively lowers
cholesterol2 and thins the
blood.3


Supplementation of vitamins C and E
reduce lipid peroxidation (a condition leading to heart
disease).4 Daily consumption
of folic acid, vitamin B(12), and vitamin B(6) have been shown
to lower total homocysteine concentrations (associated with
cardiovascular disease).5
Vitamin B-3 (niacin) is known to help lower LDL cholesterol
(bad cholesterol) and raise the HDL cholesterol (good
cholesterol).6 Chromium also
raises HDL levels.7
However, in order for these nutrients to
provide the necessary benefits in our bodies, they need to
come in the most bioavailable, whole food (see Vitamins), and
amino acid chelated (see Minerals) form. Vitamins should
be taken straight from foods in their whole form, not in their
partial form or made in a lab. For example, vitamin C taken in
its synthetic form, Ascorbic Acid, has actually been shown to
thicken arterial walls, contributing to heart disease.8

Additionally, minerals have been proven
to be the most bioavailable and better absorbed by the body in
the amino acid chelated form. This form leaves no waste
or toxins in the body, such as calcium citrate or carbonate,
which can cause additional stress. Other supplements may claim
to lower cholesterol and reduce heart disease because they
contain these nutrients, but many are actually damaging to
your health if they do not come in the proper form.
The Greatest Vitamin in the World only
contains these nutrients in the forms proven to effectively
reduce the risk for heart disease and lower cholesterol
levels. Additionally, the nutrients contained in this
formula are the most bioavailable forms on the market,
ensuring that your body is able to receive and use all of the
nutrients you take in, ensuring that your risk for heart
disease and your cholesterol levels are lowered.
The Greatest Vitamins in the World is
excited to educate people about the critcal importance of
health and the body. Do not allow yourself to be among the
millions who will ignore the most important thing they have,
their health.
