OVERVIEW
A Powerful Ayurvedic Formula for the Heart.
- A combination of the most effective herbs known to support the heart
- Promotes healthy heart function, blood flow, blood pressure & vascular health
- Reduces the heart-compromising effects of stress
Cardana is a formulation of botanicals used in traditional Ayurvedic Medicine to help maintain and/or support cardiovascular health in adults.
It is estimated that over 56 million Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although CVD is increasingly common as people age, it is not an inevitable consequence of the aging process. Cardana Caps provides a natural alternative for heart health. Cardana Caps is an Ayurvedic herbal formula used to support the health of the heart and vascular system, promoting normal blood pressure and healthy blood flow to the heart muscle. It can promote a healthy heart rate, and reduces the effects of stress on the heart.
Cardana Caps contains five of the most powerful herbs used to support the cardiovascular system and a healthy blood pressure. Terminalia arjuna reduces blood pressure and heart rate, and increases the strength of the heart’s contractions. Coleus forskohlii is a powerful vasodilator that reduces blood pressure, and improves the efficiency of the heart's contractions. Crataegus laevigata (also known as hawthorn), increases the force of cardiac contractions, improves blood flow, reduces the oxygen needs of the cardiac muscle, and is an anti-hypertensive and anti-arrhythmic agent. Boerhaavia diffusa is a diuretic. Withania somnifera, known as ashwagandha, supports cardiovascular health by reducing the effects of stress, which include a rapid pulse and increased blood pressure.
Those looking to support a healthy blood pressure and improve heart function will benefit from this Ayurvedic heart formula. Type A personalities who are prone to heart and blood pressure problems will also find Cardana Caps helpful.
Terminalia arjuna bark:
Studies have shown that extracts of Terminalia arjuna produce sustained hypotension and bradycardia which is dose-dependent. It has also been shown to increase the force of contraction of the heart in all doses. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study among heart patients, arjuna supplementation was able to ameliorate symptoms to such a degree that all patients had their conditions reclassified. Furthermore, arjuna increased the blood-pumping activity of their hearts by 10%, and the efficiency of those hearts at emptying blood out the left ventricle (ejection fraction) rose by nearly 20%. In the treatment of angina, studies have shown arjuna supplementation to be capable of reducing the frequency of attacks by two-thirds among stable angina patients. One study found that arjuna was as effective as a common angina preventive agents at reducing angina attacks and improving exercise capacity; patients also needed less of the agent when taking arjuna. Clinical trials have also been performed with heart attack patients with encouraging results.
Coleus forskohlii:
Detailed pharmacologic studies established that forskolin – a diterpene lactone – positively influenced blood pressure in different animal species, as well as in humans. In addition, it improved contractions of the heart muscle. The blood pressure regulating effects of forskolin were attributed to a decrease in pre and after loads as well as decreased peripheral resistance by a direct action on relaxing the arteriolar smooth muscle. Both the improve heart contractility and the vascular effects were shown to be initiated by the stimulation of the membrane-bound enzyme adenylate cyclase resulting in raised intracellular cAMP levels, an activation of protein synthesis, a lowering of the membrane-bound Na , K -ATPase activity and activation of the slow calcium gate.
Crataegus laevigata (Hawthorn):
The fruits from this plant act as a cardiotonic and coronary vasodilator. Hawthorn is reputed to promote the return to health of arteries. Various clinical studies have shown increased cardiac performance and output, decreases in peripheral resistance, pulmonary arterial and capillary pressures and blood pressure at rest and during exercise, and improved metabolic parameters. Recent human clinical studies have shown moderate decreases in LDL and non-HDL cholesterol, and slight decreases in diastolic blood pressure.
Withania somnifera: This herb has been the focus of hundreds of clinical studies and is one of the most exhaustively researched herbs. The anti-stress activity of the roots has been reported in multiple clinical studies. A small pilot study in humans over 30 days showed that ashwagandha reduced LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, had diuretic activity which helps reduce blood pressure, and reduced blood glucose as well as a conventional hypoglycemic drug.
Boerhaavia diffusa:
The cardiovascular action of this herb has been clinically studied. The rationale for its inclusion is due to its powerful diuretic activity which helps regulate blood pressure.
