Luckily, there’s a product called Blood Flow Optimizer that already contains all of these herbal extracts, at the correct dosages and maximum effective extract percentages.

Plus, Blood Flow Optimizer also contains other ingredients such as:

• Vitamin D3
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin K2-7 (MK7)
• Magnesium
• And 3 different forms of L Carnitine

It’s all in ONE, convenient pill that my family and I have been using for over 18+ years.

Horse chestnut extract

Horse chestnut contains bioactive compounds called escin. Studies have shown that escin has veno-protective properties and can combat water retention, and support healthy inflammation and blood flow.

Veno-protective means it’s beneficial for the veins or venous system in the body. Horse chestnut is especially important for the extremities – such as hands, feet, and genitals.

Make sure you only get the extract version at 20% concentration.

Ginkgo biloba extract

The Ginkgo biloba tree is essentially unchanged for 200 million years and has been used to promote healthy blood flow, primarily to the brain. It’s been used to support memory & cognitive health for centuries.

Make sure to get a Non-GMO version standardized at 24% extract.

Beetroot extract

Beetroot is high in nitrates, which can be converted into nitric oxide. The vasodilation effect of nitric oxide supports healthy blood flow — and thus oxygen and nutrient delivery — to muscles, heart, arteries, and extremities.

As a reminder, improving nitric oxide is also how drugs like Viagra and Cialis work for improving blood flow for erections in men, as well as supporting healthy blood pressure.

Make sure you get a 10:1 extract

Pine bark extract, Pycnogenol

French maritime pine bark extract helps inhibit inflammatory factors to help promote circulatory and vascular health, fights oxidative stress, and promotes healthy longevity – especially to the veins and arteries.

Make sure you get the 65% procyanidins; 97% Dehydroabietic Acid extract

Cocoa flavanol extract

Cocoa flavanol supplements are, you guessed it, made from the ancient super-food cocoa. Yes, the same ingredient in your favorite DARK chocolate, just in a healthier, more concentrated form.

The flavanols specifically found in cocoa (which are distinct from the cocoa plant) have been shown in over 20 studies, to promote better circulation and support healthy cardiovascular function, brain performance, and memory.

White Willow Extract

Do you know how Aspirin was first discovered? … It was in nature from the White Willow Extract, which is the original (or natural form of) aspirin.

It contains a natural ingredient called “salicin” that’s similar to aspirin. Used in small dosages, it helps promote healthy circulation and inflammatory response.

Make sure to get 25% Salicin extract

Ginger

Ginger has many health benefits and helps support healthy:

• arterial & vascular function*
• blood clotting
• contractile strength of the heart – which means a stronger heart
• ATP production in the heart – which means more energy

Make sure to only use the standardized 15% extract form

grape seed extract

The dark pigment of grapes and berries has important flavonoids. However, grape seed extract is a very concentrated form that supports cardiovascular and brain health. It also acts as a potent free-radical scavenger.

Make sure to use the most potent extra form at 95% procyanidolic oligomers

butcher’s broom

This is a small evergreen shrub that can help support healthy inflammation & treat poor blood flow + circulation. *

An analysis of 20 studies found that a supplement that contained butcher’s broom significantly reduced pain, cramps, and swelling because it can help veins contract, allowing blood to return to the heart, better and faster.

This puts significantly LESS stress and pressure on the heart.

Nattokinase

This is technically an enzyme, but it’s extremely important because it helps fight Fibrin Buildup

Fibrin forms a fibrous mesh that can impede healthy blood flow (not what you want). This decreased blood flow can lead to feelings of fatigue, including your muscles (such as heart and skeletal).

This is especially important if you’re over the age of 35 for men and 40 for women because as we age, Fibrin can increase and cause blood clots… which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Nattokinase also acts as a natural blood thinner. It’s good for healthy blood pressure and blood flow.

Make sure you get the NSK-SD version of Nattokinase, which is patented and the only form backed by human clinical studies.
