Heart Health Spotlight: Vitamin D3

As an essential vitamin, Synergy’s Vitamin D3 is one of the most useful nutritional tools we have available. Working with your body’s numerous biological functions, vitamin D3 helps ensure maximum calcium absorption for a strong skeletal system. 

When you purchase any Synergy heart health products, including Vitamin D3, we’ll donate 5% of the purchase to The Heart Center at Primary Children’s Hospital. Help us share the gift of heart health this month.

THE SUNSHINE VITAMIN

The human body is equipped with the amazing ability to synthesize vitamin D3 through exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. However, many people today are lacking in their daily dose of sunlight due to indoor living and excessive sunscreen. Like a ray of sunshine, Synergy’s vitamin D3 provides the perfect amount of this essential nutrient to ensure a greater state of overall health. Vitamin D3 also helps bolster muscle metabolism and function, so your heart can get an extra measure of healthy love at the same time.

  
CALCIUM AND MINERALIZATION

Of the many roles vitamin D3 fulfills in the body, one of the most important is to enable calcium absorption. As such, the body is unable to digest calcium without adequate levels of D3. Insufficient levels of calcium can then lead to osteoporosis and eventually bone loss. Vitamin D3 also works to promote bone mineralization in the body, helping support your skeletal structure— there’s no bones about it. 

VITAMIN D3 BENEFITS

• Provides 2500 IU of Vitamin D3 per tablet
• Helps maintain normal levels of calcium in the blood
• Helps maintain bone health and mineralization
• Helps support a healthy immune system
• Facilitates calcium absorption in the body to support a healthy skeletal system

Heart Health Spotlight: Metabolic LDL

Support healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular function with Metabolic LDL. This unique and powerful herbal formula helps modulate cholesterol oxidation to maintain optimum circulatory performance and overall heart health.

This month, when you purchase Metabolic LDL or any Synergy heart health products, we’ll donate 5% of the purchase to The Heart Center at Primary Children’s Hospital! Help us make an impact as you enjoy supporting heart health. 

SYNERGISTIC WELLNESS

Metabolic LDL combines Citrus bergamia Risso extract with a proprietary blend of high-ORAC antioxidants that help support total cholesterol and triglyceride levels already in the normal range. It works in part by blocking an enzyme the liver needs to produce LDL cholesterol. This balance of Citrus bergamia fruit extract and antioxidants naturally supports healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels, yielding a wonderfully effective formulation for cardiovascular health.

POWER OF BERGAMOT

While Bergamot Fruit Extract (Citrus bergamia Risso) is technically a member of the orange family, it more closely resembles a lime or lemon with a bumpy outer peel that ranges from pale green to yellow. Grown along the southern coast of Italy, our bergamot fruit is bursting with a unique blend of polyphenols, otherwise known as naturally occurring antioxidants, that help locate and detoxify free radicals in the body. 

METABOLIC LDL BENEFITS

• Modulates oxidation of LDL cholesterol
• Supports healthy cholesterol levels
• Features a powerful, proprietary antioxidant blend

Healthy Hearts Begin Within

You love your heart. You know it’s important—but do you know what to feed it? Fueling your body’s engine with proper nutrition doesn’t have to be rocket science.
This February, in honor of Heart Health Month, take a little extra time and fuel your body with better nutrition. Trust us, you’ll feel better than ever and your heart will appreciate the extra effort.
Here are a few heart-healthy suggestions to make your favorite meals more cardio-conscious:

ADD SOME GREENS

Vegetables are always on the table when it comes to heart health, and some pack a healthier punch than others. Dark, leafy greens like spinach and kale are filled with heart healthy vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They’re also a great source of vitamin K, which can help protect your arteries and improve cardiovascular health. Channel your inner Popeye and include spinach in your next meal. A little can go a long way.

SKIP THE SUGARS

Okay, this may be difficult. Yes, we know sugar makes things sweet. But can your recipe work with Stevia? Some natural honey or maple syrup will also help maintain your sweetness without the high sugar content. It could be worth a try. Sugar, fructose, corn syrup… these are not heart-healthy ingredients. Substitute when possible and your heart will thank you. 

GRAINS FOR THE VEINS

When you have to eat carbs, remember that diets rich in fiber are more preferable than refined white breads and pastas. When it comes to combatting high blood pressure and supporting your overall heart health, choose fibrous whole grains. At the very least, try swapping out half the amount of all-purpose flour with whole-wheat flour. Better yet, try almond-flour! You can also change up refined white rice for whole grain rice or opt for a more complex grain like quinoa. 

SUBS FOR SALT

Sodium has a big impact on heart health, but that doesn’t mean you have to forgo flavor. Instead, try adding a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lime to your food. You can also give your favorite dishes an update with a dash of new spices and herbs. Feel free to experiment and test out new flavors, you never know when you’ll create something incredible.
