Biogrow® SmoFlo® Capsule

Fruitflow® is an extract from the jelly around the seeds of sun-ripened tomatoes. Selected tomatoes are crushed to paste, the skin and seeds are removed, and the bioactive compounds in the extracted clear juice are concentrated. The result is Fruitflow® – a highly concentrated form of precious bioactives – which is lycopene-free and contains over 30 known anti-platelet compounds.

Natural Fruitflow® is a breakthrough ingredient that helps with platelet aggregation. This helps promote normal blood flow & circulation, which in turn benefits your cardiovascular health. It helps the platelets to circulate freely and smoothly throughout your blood, without sticking to one another or to the blood vessels themselves. Freely flowing blood helps reduce stress on your cardiovascular system.

Blood Flow & Circulation

Many of us know we need healthy cholesterol levels and to manage blood pressure, but don’t consider blood flow.

Yet, healthy blood flow is fundamental in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system and avoiding dangerous blood clots. A healthy cardiovascular system is one with no constrictions in the blood vessels, and with smoothly flowing blood.

Being over 40

From this age our bodies produce less of the molecule, Nitric Oxide, which calms blood platelets so the blood flows smoothly and also keeps blood vessels relaxed, to control blood pressure. So, the body’s natural cardioprotection decreases and can need support.

Menopause

With the fall in oestrogen during the menopause, women also face a drop in the body’s production of both Nitric Oxide and prostacyclin. These are both important in calming the blood platelets and keeping blood vessels relaxed, to control blood pressure. Women approaching the menopause face a sudden jump in the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease

Stresses of life

Those who find they consistently have high and sustained levels of stress will have a high level of cortisol and epinephrine in their blood stream – both of these are associated with spiky platelets and so will put the cardiovascular system under significant stress.

Inactivity

Commuting, office based work, long distance travel or simply a lack of exercise lead to a drop in our bodies’ production of protective Nitric Oxide, making the blood platelets more likely to be sticky and prone to clotting.

Unhealthy diet

If you find your diet is high in fat, sugar or salt, this will lead to more active or sticky platelets, and this is worsened if you are overweight. Alcohol and smoking also lead to more spiky platelets, with binge drinking causing particular danger.

Air Pollution

Air pollution is the largest environmental risk factor for ill health, and it damages our bodies in many different ways, with our hearts particularly at risk. Long term exposure to high levels of air pollution can lead to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, when tiny airborne particles enter the bloodstream.
