NA Neurocard - For better brain and heart health

Is your heart telling you “yes” while your head is saying “no?” Regardless of whichever voice you prefer to listen to, the point is that your heart and brain are the most important organs in your body. That’s why Neurocard contains bacopa monnieri to improve memory, concentration and stress, as well as omega-3 fish oils to support cardiovascular and neuronal function. Folic acid, calcium and magnesium are also included in this unique formula to help maintain brain, neural, cardiovascular and cellular function during times of need. So, if you value what’s most important to your body, listen to your heart. And your head. Try Neurocard for ongoing support.

FISH OIL

Omega-3 oils are metabolised in the body into prostaglandins and by products known as eicosanoids. Some eicosanoids have hormone-like activity, being implicated in stimulating growth hormone secretion, while others have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Prostaglandins such EPA, DHA and GLA are involved in blood pressure regulation, blood clotting, the inflammatory process and blood vessel dilation – all of which have implications for heart health.

Findings from a number of scientific studies indicate that diets high in omega-3 oils protect against the development of conditions such as heart disease, attention deficit disorder(ADD/ADHD), depression, arthritis, colitis and other inflammatory diseases. It has been convincingly shown that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce triglyceride levels in the blood.

A major heart protective effect of omega-3 oil is its effect in reducing blood clot formation through reduced platelet activity. Diets high in fish consumption are linked to a reduced incidence of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks.

A recent study has suggested an additional benefit of daily consumption of fish oil. It appears to be effective in improving mood and behaviour.

BACOPA

Apart from its impact on the central nervous system (improving learning, memory and concentration), studies have shown that bacopa monnieri can lower systolic blood pressure, being beneficial to patients suffering from hypertension.

Clinical research has also shown that bacopa can have beneficial effects on symptoms of stress, insomnia, headache, fatigue, irritability, lack of concentration, anorexia, dyspepsia, tremors, palpitation and nervousness.

CALCIUM

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body and is essential in intracellular metabolism, regulating the heart, arteries, and blood circulation. Studies show that calcium assist in reducing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hypertension and the risk of cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. Calcium assists in maintaining normal heart function and arterial health, while improving the level of blood oxygenation, explaining why many individuals report increased energy and metabolism when taking calcium supplements.

MAGNESIUM

Magnesium is an alkaline macromineral with electrolytic properties. Magnesium like calcium, is essential to metabolism, being a principal intracellular cation.

Many heart ailments can occur as a result magnesium deficiency, including calcification, heart tissue and vascular degeneration/necrosis, hypertension and fibrosis. Due to its metabolic role, magnesium is cardioprotective during high stress situations. Magnesium may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events including heart attack and mortality associated with such events.

FOLIC ACID

Possessing neuroprotective properties, folic acid plays an important role in DNA and RNA synthesis, and maintenance of the nervous system. Linked to foetal growth and development during pregnancy, folic acid is essential for the production of red blood cells, and promotes heart health by reducing plasma homocysteine levels.
