The nutrients in Tikva Heart target the 12 leading causes of high blood pressure and cholesterol.
PROBLEM:
We often hear from people that they do not have cholesterol (plaque) issues, they just have high blood pressure.
TRUTH:
Heart disease effects nearly 1 out of every 2 Adults.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease in the United States and is the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes.
CAD is caused by plaque buildup – LDL (Bad) cholesterol in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart.
When you get a cholesterol test done, they are checking to see how much plaque is floating in the blood at that moment, if it is stuck to the wall of the artery, it may not show on the test, so many people do not find out they have this issue until they have a heart attack.

These 13 NUTRIENTS IN TIKVA HEART TARGET THIS PROBLEM:
Arginine, Beet Root, Pomegranate, Flax Seed Powder, L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Inositol, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Chromium, Zinc and Boron
PROBLEM:
As you age, plaque builds up on your artery walls. The plaque can cause arteries, to harden, narrow and block blood flow. The plaque can burst, leading to a blood clot and strokes.
TRUTH:
While nitric oxide does not decrease existing plaque, it does help prevent future plaques and increase blood flow.
Since plaques tend to increase as we age and also from the foods we eat, nitric oxide is helpful, but will not decrease or prevent enough on its own.
Other nutrients and antioxidants in Tikva will help to not only reduce new plaque, but target existing plaques as well.

PROBLEM:
Your body produces less Nitric Oxide as you age.
Supplement companies are pushing Nitric Oxide as the only thing you need to improve your cardiovascular system, but it is not enough for most people in the long run.
TRUTH:
The Nobel Prize was won for the fact the Nitric Oxide widens arteries and increases circulation. So it is very important.
You may even see your blood pressure numbers go down temporarily with just solving this one issue.
But if you do not deal with plaque, inflammation, stress, triglycerides, etc. then even if you widen your arteries, they can still get clogged up and harden and you are fighting a losing battle.

PROBLEM:
Low HDL is primarily caused by the way we eat or the medications we are taking such as beta blockers, anabolic steroids, progestins, and benzodiazepines.
Most people do not want to stop eating carbs and their doctor put them on the medications, so what do you do?
TRUTH:
HDL (Good) cholesterol absorbs the bad cholesterol and carries it back to the liver where it is then removed from the body.

Elevated levels of homocysteine show an increased risk for hardening of arteries which could eventually result in heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots.
TRUTH:
A common cause for high homocysteine levels is a deficiency in B vitamins and folate. It is also common in people with kidney disease, low thyroid hormones, and psoriasis.

PROBLEM:
High levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) have been linked to an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.
TRUTH:
A common cause for high CRP is chronic inflammation. CRP levels can be elevated in people with cardiovascular disease, such as heart attacks, atherosclerosis and strokes. Other risk factors are obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, alcohol consumptions, and smoking.

These 8 NUTRIENTS IN TIKVA HEART TARGET THIS PROBLEM:
Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Magnesium, L-Theanine, and Zinc
PROBLEM:
If your Triglycerides and LDL (Bad) cholesterol are high, but your HDL (good) cholesterol is low, you have an increased risk for heart attacks and strokes.
TRUTH:
Triglycerides are fats that circulate in your bloodstream and are stored in your fat cells. When you eat more calories than you need to survive, your body converts those calories into triglycerides and stores them for future use.
High triglycerides can lead to hardening of the arteries.
Omega 3’s (EPA/DHA) are the easiest way to naturally lower high triglycerides.
Good levels of EPA/DHA may help prevent issues with your heart and circulatory system’s function such as inflammation, peripheral artery disease, major coronary events and coagulation.

These 4 NUTRIENTS IN TIKVA HEART TARGET THIS PROBLEM:
Flax Seed Powder, L-Theanine, Niacin and Vitamin D
We highly recommend a high quality EPA/DHA source like Vectomega. We would have put fish oil in the Tikva, but it would go rancid and make Tikva Heart taste terrible.
PROBLEM:
Several studies have linked low testosterone in men with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
TRUTH:
Proper testosterone levels are important to help remove cholesterol from the arterial wall.
Imbalances in testosterone and estrogen have been shown to promote the buildup of plaque leading to atherosclerosis and higher C-reactive protein (inflammation) levels linked with blood clots, and sudden heart attacks and strokes.

These 6 NUTRIENTS IN TIKVA HEART TARGET THIS PROBLEM:
Vitamin D3, Zinc, Pomegranate, Magnesium, Selenium and Boron
PROBLEM:
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a form of arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat.
People with AF have abnormalities in their heart’s electrical impulses that can lead to blood pooling or clotting.
AF is associated with increased risk of strokes, congestive heart failure, and cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease).
TRUTH:
Atrial Fibrillation is not a cause of high blood pressure but is often caused by high blood pressure or other cardiovascular events.

These 4 NUTRIENTS IN TIKVA HEART TARGET THIS PROBLEM:
Magnesium, Coenzyme Q-10, L-Taurine and L-Carnitine
PROBLEM:
You may not think of stress as a blood pressure problem, but it is often the reason people get high readings when they are at the doctor even when their numbers were fine at home. Also known as white coat syndrome.
TRUTH:
In addition to the emotional discomfort, we feel when faced with a stressful situation, our bodies react to stress by releasing hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) into the blood.
These hormones prepare the body for the “fight or flight” response by making the heartbeat faster and constricting blood vessels to get more blood to the core of the body instead of the extremities. This increases heart rate and raises blood pressure.

These 7 NUTRIENTS IN TIKVA HEART TARGET THIS PROBLEM:
L-Theanine, Vitamin B Complex (Vitmamin B1, B2, B6, B12, Inositol) and Magnesium.
PROBLEM:
Blood clots can break off from different part of the body and travel through veins and arteries causing heart attacks and strokes.
TRUTH:
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), also known as blood clots, is a disorder that includes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the lower leg, thigh, or pelvis. A pulmonary emobolism (PE) occurs when a clot breaks loose and travels through the blood stream to the lungs.
