Artinia® – a new approach to cardiovascular health

ARTINIA® is a novel vegetarian fiber ingredient that supports clean, healthy arteries.  This ingredient features the benefits of both soluble and insoluble fibers while supporting the body’s natural defenses against oxidized LDL cholesterol.  Artinia® is a natural, highly-pure ingredient that supports the body’s natural antioxidant systems and mechanisms for managing free radicals within the cardiovascular system.

Supporting a healthy heart begins with supporting healthy arteries. Many scientists now believe that controlling the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol, not just the level of LDL-cholesterol, is very important for arterial health. This is because the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol within the artery wall leads to a series of events resulting in the formation of fatty streaks in the artery tissue. Given time and the right conditions, these fatty streaks can eventually morph into arterial plaques.

Artinia® supports the body’s natural antioxidant systems and has been shown to maintain healthy oxidized LDL-cholesterol levels.
