Cayenne provides many nutrients, including beta-carotene, cobalt, essential fats, niacin, and zinc. In Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine, Daniel Mowrey, Ph.D., recommends cayenne for circulatory stimulation, blood detoxification, and occasional fatigue. Ingesting cayenne with a meal helps regulate fibrin. "As a general stimulant of circulatory health, cayenne has no equal. I find it to be the single most useful cardiovascular herb in my practice." Matthew Wood, herbalist. Ginger is a circulatory and digestive stimulant, promoting healthy blood flow.* In combination, cayenne and ginger stimulate circulation throughout the body.* As a catalyst, ginger combines well with other herbs and helps the body digest the more pungent cayenne. Enzyme-rich ginger root is an antioxidant that helps regulate inflamatory responses.* Garlic/Onion are close relatives - excellent together. In combination, cayenne, ginger, garlic, and onion promote more viscous, free flowing blood.* In The Healing Benefits of Garlic, John Heinerman, Ph.D., explains why garlic is so effective: Over 30 sulfur compounds, 17 amino acids, plus chromium, selenium and germanium. Garlic contains volatile oils that are readily transported throughout the body, nurturing the circulatory, digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts.* Hawthorn contains flavonoids (plant chemicals) that provide direct nourishment to the heart.* In German scientific research, hawthorn has been found to regulate blood pressure already in the normal range, support the contractility of the heart muscle, and promote blood flow to the heart.* James Green, author of Male Herbal, calls hawthorn "the best tonic for the heart and circulatory system." In The Green Pharmacy, James A. Duke, Ph.D., says, "Extensive research has demonstrated that hawthorn promotes healthy heart function." "Cayenne and hawthorn in a single capsule produces a special kind of synergism that augments the cardiotonic activity of both." Daniel Mowrey, Ph.D. *These statement have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Frequently Asked Questions Why cayenne? Why garlic? Why hawthorn? When will I get results? Why is NOW Foods a great choice? What form of vitamin E is best? Which flaxseed is best - gold or brown? Why is L-Carnitine so important - will it help me lose weight? Why Cayenne? Cayenne promotes healthy blood circulation.* It's one of the safest, most effective blood stimulant known. Cayenne comes in various heat ranges but we feel African Birdseye and East Indian are best (fast acting, beneficial). Cayenne Company uses a combination of 90,000 HU East Indian and 130,000 HU African Birdseye Cayenne. We combine cayenne with ginger root in all of our formulas. Cayenne can be found in liquid tinctures, bulk powder or spice, and in a capsule. Cayenne in a capsule should be taken just before sitting down to eat – or during the meal. It's also a good idea to open a capsule and sprinkle some cayenne directly into your food. (Works well on eggs or in soup, chili, etc.) Cayenne is especially good in tomato juice. In any form, cayenne works in the bloodstream, but taking it in food or drink hastens cayenne's stimulant value.* Sensitivity to cayenne capsules may occur (especially in the morning). At first, take just one capsule with a meal. Avoid taking cayenne capsules with any hot drink. As the day goes on, you may be able to take your cayenne capsules with less food. Some people take a capsule just before retiring for the evening, aiding the body's fasting process.* As a catalyst, cayenne helps other herbs work more effectively.* Cayenne contains capsaicin, the fiery plant chemical (fatty acid) that provides the heat and the bulk of the benefit.* The safe "high" that some people experience when eating cayenne is from the capsaicin. Scientists theorize that in response to the discomfort produced by the "burn," the brain releases endorphins which, at high levels, can create a sensation of pleasure.* Why Garlic? Combined with cayenne, ginger, hawthorn and onion, garlic is a key ingredient offered in Heart Food Caps and Cayenne Plus. Allicin (a sulfur-bearing compound) is often cited as the key component in garlic, but garlic contains approximately 70 active ingredients.* You don't need extracts or isolated compounds to get results. Fresh or dry, regular whole garlic is beneficial.* (The Chinese traditionally aged whole clove garlic in vinegar for two to three years to enhance its medicinal properties.) Together, cayenne, ginger, garlic and onion - found in both Heart Food Caps and Cayenne Plus - promote healthy blood circulation.* Why Hawthorn? The late Dr. Robert C. Atkins wrote, "In terms of promoting healthy heart function, nothing impresses me as much as hawthorn..." As a tonic, hawthorn has been valued for centuries. Numerous European studies have demonstrated that the use of hawthorn can support overall heart health by: promoting the flow of blood and oxygen to and from the heart* supporting healthy circulation* increasing endurance* maintaining healthy blood vessels* maintaining healthy blood pressure already in the normal range* The effects of hawthorn as a heart tonic are gentle and best achieved slowly over time (3-6 months).* Hawthorn has been shown to be safe for long-term use, with no toxic side effects and — with few exceptions — no interactions with prescriptions drugs.* Warning: In large doses, hawthorn may increase the effects of digitalis (Lanoxin™). Do not use hawthorn while taking Lanoxin except under the advice and supervision of your doctor. Lasix™, Lanoxin™, and ACE inhibitors - can be toxic and require that patients be carefully monitored. When will I get results? Cayenne is fast-acting and you may feel it right away. Cayenne promotes circulation immediately and you may feel more energy the first time you try it. If you take too much too soon, however, you may have diarrhea and/or feel sick or pain in your stomach. If you take too much too soon, take less or take them with a larger meal. Things like butter, flax oil, ice cream and yogurt cool down cayenne in the stomach much better than water. Also, most people enjoy their cayenne when they take it before – not after – eating. Also, don't hesitate to open the capsule and mix the cayenne into your food or tomato juice. Cayenne in the mouth alerts the body earlier to "something hot is on its way." We recommend starting out with Cayenne Plus (10 percent cayenne) or Heart Food Caps (25 percent cayenne) unless you have tried high heat cayenne in the past. Cayenne Plus and Heart Food Caps contain the same mix of herbs except Cayenne Plus contains kelp and less cayenne. Power Caps are a good choice for people who already eat or supplement with garlic. Power Caps (50% cayenne) are too hot for some people the first time around. If you start out with Power Caps, please be sure to take just one with a meal. If it goes well, increase dosage as desired. We do not recommend Power Plus to first time users. Power Plus contains 75 percent 130,000 heat unit cayenne. Ginger, alone, buffers this highest heat product in your stomach. Benefits may occur when you begin taking herbs like cayenne. You may go through some detoxification that requires you to back down a little and start over with a lower dose. Remember, you may feel slightly worse at first or a whole lot better. We are all different – and no two people will react the same way to our circulation formulas. *These statement have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Magnesium is the most common mineral deficiency Magnesium – not calcium – is the most common mineral deficiency. Although calcium gets the headlines, magnesium is often overlooked and more people may suffer from low tissue levels of magnesium.* As the mineral band leader, magnesium controls all other minerals. Without sufficient magnesium, for example, calcium becomes a bully – replacing magnesium in soft tissue throughout the body. Hard calcium plaques and brittle arteries are the result. (Please remember that routine blood tests do not reveal tissue levels of magnesium. Ask your doctor for a blood cell or magnesium loading test. If you supplement with just one mineral – make it magnesium!) Cayenne Company recommends and sells ConcenTrace Mineral Drops – a trace-mineral-rich liquid ionic magnesium. (You can find ConcenTrace under Trace Minerals Research.) Also, we recommend NOW Foods, Magnesium Aspartate. Two capsules provide 300 mg of magnesium in the aspartate form plus taurine and potassium.

Back to Top Menu Is your vitamin E all it should be? Like the B-complex, vitamin E is a family of eight nutrients – four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta). While vitamin E is an important antioxidant that protects the heart and arteries, if you are currently taking alpha tocopherol by itself, you are not getting the full benefit of vitamin E – and it's possible you're doing harm! In the last few years, evidence has surfaced that taking alpha tocopherol by itself may deplete the body of gamma tocopherol, and gamma appears to be most important for protecting against blood platelet stickiness and inflammation in the arteries. Gamma tocopherol is especially effective against a particularly dangerous free radical implicated in a number of serious, chronic inflammatory conditions such as heart disease and Alzheimer's. If you are taking vitamin E to protect yourself from these degenerative diseases, please read the label! · Advanced Gamma E Complex from NOW Foods is complete. Two softgels provide 400 IUs of natural d-alpha, 300 mg of gamma, 80 mg of delta, and 5 mg of beta tocopherol. · Gamma-E Complex also provides 10 mg of the natural tocotrienol complex from palm oil.
