C.V. Support Formula™

DESCRIPTION
C.V. Support Formula™, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a synergistic and comprehensive combination of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbals, and other nutrients, carefully formulated and specifically designed to support the healthy structure and function of the cardiovascular system.

FUNCTIONS
Studies show that a high percentage of adults in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management of the body’s structure as well as the optimum functioning of its various systems, including the cardiovascular system. C.V. Support Formula™ has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other nutrients without danger of toxic build-up or of side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. Certain nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production and maintenance of healthy blood cells, nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms. C.V. Support Formula™ contains not only the base formula of Douglas Laboratories’ Ultra-Specific Nutrition 2000 Series™ that offers intensive support for the healthy functioning of the body in general including the heart and vascular system, but also a blend of herbs and additional nutrients specifically formulated for maintenance of healthy cardiovascular structure and function. Herbs such as hawthorn and ginkgo have vasodilatory effects on the cardiovascular system, lowering the resistance to blood flow in the peripheral vascular system. Other positive actions on cardiovascular structure and function include inotropic effects, increasing heart rate, contractile force, and nerve conductivity. C.V. Support Formula™ also provides potent antioxidant protection against free radical-induced oxidative damage to the cardiovascular system.

INDICATIONS
C.V. Support Formula™ may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to support the healthy structure and function of their cardiovascular system.
