Heart Health
Maintaining a healthy heart rate, blood pressure, and cholesterol level is crucial for overall physical well-being and longevity, as it ensures that all parts of the body receive the oxygen and nutrients they need to function properly.

Research has suggested that berberine may help lower cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and improve insulin sensitivity, all of which can have positive effects on heart health. In fact, a number of clinical trials have shown that berberine supplementation can help lower cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol. Additionally, some studies have suggested that berberine may help lower blood pressure, another important factor in maintaining good heart health.*
CoQ10 is found in high concentrations in the heart muscle, where it helps support energy production and protects against oxidative damage. Some studies have suggested that CoQ10 supplementation may help improve symptoms of heart failure, a condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. Additionally, some research has suggested that CoQ10 may help lower blood pressure, improve blood lipid levels, and reduce inflammation, all of which are important factors in maintaining good heart health.*
Maslinic acid has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help protect the heart from damage and improve overall cardiovascular health. Additionally, some studies have suggested that maslinic acid may help reduce the risk of heart disease by improving lipid profiles, reducing blood pressure, and improving glucose metabolism. Maslinic acid has also been shown to have antiplatelet effects, which may help prevent the formation of blood clots that can lead to heart attacks and strokes.*
Studies suggest that mastic gum may help improve heart health by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Additionally, mastic gum has been shown to improve lipid profiles by reducing levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, while increasing levels of HDL cholesterol, which is considered the “good” cholesterol. This can help to maintain healthy blood pressure and reduce the risk of developing heart disease.*
Studies have found that oleanolic acid supplementation can improve endothelial function and reduce inflammation in patients with coronary artery disease, reduce oxidative stress and improve lipid profiles in rats with high-fat diet-induced obesity, and lower blood pressure in people with hypertension. These effects are likely due to the compound’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hypolipidemic properties.
