Haematococcus Pluvialis reduces oxidative and inflammatory deposition of endothelial cells

Haematococcus Pluvialis as an antioxidant, can be in antioxidant "adhesive" before the endothelial cells, as in a non-stick painted on the surface of a highway, it is able to keep the car (blood) fast moving without causing traffic jams, such as cell adhesion at the side of the arteries), prevent the formation of blood clots, stroke, coronary artery thrombosis.

One interesting animal study showed that Haematococcus Pluvialis reduced the ability of inflammatory cells to penetrate arterial plaques. A two-way process causes more plaque to build up, eventually clogging the artery. "Stiffness" and "stickiness" are not good for the cardiovascular system. As stickiness builds up in the walls of the arteries, the arteries stiffen and harden, leading to high blood pressure. By keeping as little stiffness and stickiness as possible in the artery, the walls of the artery can be kept appropriately soft, helping to keep blood pressure normal.

Although Haematococcus Pluvialis regulates blood pressure due to its antioxidant/anti-inflammatory effects, the study found that the aorta (the main vessel from the heart) of the hypertensive rats receiving Haematococcus Pluvialis was thinner than that of the rats receiving no Haematococcus Pluvialis. The researchers concluded that high blood pressure is caused by endothelial dysfunction or by the secretion of vasoconstrictors (biochemical substances that cause vasoconstriction and stiffness), which natural Haematococcus Pluvialis helps regulate.

Haematococcus Pluvialis prevents heart failure from high blood pressure

The most common cause of heart failure is endothelial dysfunction. Because of the hardening of the vessels and the accumulation of sticky material in the walls of the vessels, the vessels are unable to relax, causing the heart muscle, the pump, to work hard to get the blood through the vessels. If the blood vessels were wider, softer and looser, the heart would not work as hard.

Animal studies have shown that Haematococcus Pluvialis can help reduce high blood pressure and increase the strength of heart muscle contractions to help the heart maintain normal blood flow, especially after an injury or heart attack. 

Haematococcus Pluvialis helps relieve high blood pressure by reducing arterial stiffness in the early stages of heart disease, stroke and diabetes, according to a study of metabolic syndrome in adults.

The Japanese study found a significant decrease in blood pressure in hypertensive rats supplemented with Haematococcus Pluvialis for 2 weeks, but no decrease in blood pressure in rats with normal blood pressure. The study also showed that in stroke-prone rats fed Haematococcus Pluvialis for five weeks, the onset of wind was delayed and blood pressure decreased. The study found significant differences in the cardiovascular "plumbing" of rats on Haematococcus Pluvialis, which reduces the elastic bands in the aorta (the sticky tissue that causes stiffness or hardening of the arteries) and reduces the thickness of the artery walls, helping to calm and prevent "hardening" of the vessels.

Haematococcus Pluvialis reduces heart attacks

One interesting animal study showed that when animals with heart disease or heart muscle damage were given natural Haematococcus Pluvialis, there was a significant improvement in heart muscle damage or dysfunction. The researchers concluded that Haematococcus Pluvialis could help counteract the damaging effects of oxidants produced by hypoxic tissue during a heart attack.  

Another study showed that mice fed Haematococcus Pluvialis to exhausted treadmill exercisers suffered far less heart damage than mice fed the same exercise without Haematococcus Pluvialis. Postmortem tests found that Haematococcus Pluvialis was concentrated in the hearts of mice, leading to the conclusion that Haematococcus Pluvialis reduced exercise-induced heart damage and other muscle damage. In experiments with human volunteers, participants received 6 milligrams of natural Haematococcus Pluvialis daily, and just 10 days of supplementation showed significant improvements in blood flow.

Haematococcus Pluvialis reduces inflammatory markers of cardiovascular disease

Haematococcus Pluvialis has been shown to lower blood levels of CRP (c-reactive protein). CRP is a biochemical substance that rises when there is excessive inflammation in the body, and elevated CRP is a marker for assessing a person's risk of cardiovascular disease.

Haematococcus Pluvialis improves blood lipids

When healthy lipids like cholesterol "oxidize," they become bad cholesterol that sticks to tissues like the lining of blood vessels. Studies have shown that Haematococcus Pluvialis reduces artery-clogging fats such as oxidized LDL and triglycerides, and increases artery-cleaning fats such as HDL, reducing the ability to oxidize LDL cholesterol.

A 2010 Japanese study showed that people who took Haematococcus Pluvialis had improved blood lipids, which are a drop in triglycerides (sticky fats) and an increase in hdl-cholesterol (non-sticky fats), as well as higher blood levels of adiponectin. Adiponectin, a newly discovered natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and lipid levels, is absent, leading to type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Not only does Haematococcus Pluvialis prevent good fats from becoming bad fats, which cause them to oxidize and attach to the sides of the arteries, but further studies have shown that it also reduces total and LDL cholesterol by 17 percent and triglycerides (other sticky fats) by an average of 24 percent.

Most cardiovascular diseases are caused by inflammation and oxidation. Haematococcus Pluvialis is both a powerful anti-inflammatory agent and a powerful antioxidant. In fact, cardiologists now believe that many of Haematococcus Pluvialis's cardiovascular benefits are due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In short, it reduces oxidative stress on the heart and blood vessels.
