Chinese Wolfberry and Heart Health

NingXia Red™ - Packed with Nutrients to Maintain Heart Health

At the heart of health is, well, the heart! Supporting a healthy heart should be a major priority. Ancient Chinese texts described wolfberries as fortifying "chi" or the flow of energy and vitality. Without our marvelously efficient heart sending oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, there is no life force!

In the new book, Discovery of the Ultimate Superfood, Gary Young, Ronald Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D., and Marc Schreuder list sixty-seven medical studies showing how wolfberries support healthy heart function.

One important study shows how oxidized cholesterol is believed to be the culprit behind plaque buildup in arteries. This is one more reason why antioxidants are vital! The antioxidant power of NingXia Red is documented by Brunswick Laboratories' ORAC testing.

Several other studies discuss a correlation between inadequate mineral consumption and poor heart health. An important benefit of the wolfberry is that it is rich in cardioprotective minerals.

Discovery of the Ultimate Superfood notes: "What makes the Ningxia wolfberry so rare among foods is that it is replete in three cardioprotective minerals, not just one or two. This may be due to the Ningxia wolfberries being grown in soil fed by ion-rich glacial runoff that endows it with an unsurpassed profile of both trace minerals (i.e., chromium) and macro minerals (magnesium and potassium).

With 18 trace minerals and the highest known potassium content of any food, the Ningxia's mineral content makes it a powerful medicine for the heart." 1
