Bromelain, Pectin & Vitamin C: A safe and effective way to dissolve arteriosclerotic plaque, lower LDL-cholesterol and improve circulation?

in news •  2 years ago 

"Bromelain benefits range from curing cardiovascular diseases to relieving muscle and joint pains."

"Bromelain is extremely efficient to maintain heart health as it reduces the abnormal formation of blood clots and the occurrence of plaque in the arteries.
It possesses anti-coagulant properties which help in reducing the formation of coagulated blood clots in blood vessels thereby reducing the risk of heart diseases."

"In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that bromelain dissolved arteriosclerotic plaque in rabbit aorta and it clearly explains the potent fibrinolytic activity of bromelain, which functions by breaking down cholesterol plaques"

"By breaking down fibrins, bromelain is said to help prevent clotting and improve circulation. Similarly, supplement makers claim this enzymatic activity thins the blood, prevents the buildup of plaque in the arteries, and slows the coagulation (or clumping) of blood platelets."

"Apples contain a substance called pectin. Liz Applegate, Ph. D., faculty member and sports nutrition director at the University of California at Davis, says that pectin is a fiber that binds to cholesterol.

"More scientists are finding that vitamin C may ward off heart attacks and strokes by helping to keep arteries unclogged.

Their new theory is that bad-type LDL-cholesterol circulating in the blood becomes dangerous to arteries only if it is chemically changed or "oxidized." Thus, blocking this LDL oxidation should help keep arteries clear."

"While some studies have shown a link between vitamin C and improved lipid profiles, these results have not been largely confirmed, according to a 2016 review of vitamin C and heart health published in The International Journal of Molecular Studies. Nevertheless, vitamin C deficiency has been linked with a higher rate of death due to cardiovascular disease."

"In 1954 it was shown that 500mg of vitamin C three times a day made great improvements in the arterial blockages of patients with heart trouble. Vitamin C is also seen as an anti-oxidant. Some people feel that the pharmaceutical industry does not wish for vitamin C to be known as a good treatment for heart disease. However, as a vital part of collagen and a good anti-oxidant, Vitamin C should be part of any heart-healthy regimen."

"“So if people want to take a gram or two at the most (of) vitamin C, that would be fine,” he said referring to vitamin C supplements.
