CardiOS is beneficial for those approaching mid and later-life to support declining physiology, especially common to both Andropausal men and Menopausal & Post-Menopausal women. CardiOS is indicated for: Cardiovascular disease, incl. endothelial dysfunction with calcification of smooth muscle and arterial plaque Osteoporotic and osteopenic bone loss Cognitive impairment, affecting working memory and psychomotor performance Anxiety, depression, insomnia and related conditions Declining antioxidant/ detoxification enzyme activity and impairment in other endogenous defences Serving Type: Vegetable Cellulose Size ’00’ Capsule (suitable for vegetarians). Clinical data shows that compounds in CardiOS may: Facilitate integration of calcium into bone and to remove unwanted calcium from arteries Assist in the synthesis of the bone-forming protein osteocalcin Help reduce the morning cortisol levels which promote a degree of heightened anxiety Assist in reducing inflammation as well as helping to restore the normal function to the lining of blood vessels.

Recommended Daily Dosage: Adults: Take 1 capsule twice daily or as directed by a Health Care Practitioner. Children: Not recommended for children. Application notes: Very occasionally, adverse effects have been reported after ingestion of either fresh broccoli sprouts or supplements manufactured from fresh sprouts. These effects are typically gastrointestinal in nature and may include nausea, bloating, gastro-abdominal discomfort, and diarrhoea. The skin as an organ of elimination may also be temporarily impacted, together with neural function which is sensitive to redox-inflammation imbalances. The limited data available seem to indicate that gastro-intestinal effects are generally limited to those with pre-existing conditions and in particular to those with dysbiosis associated with a perturbed gut ecosystem. Dose Titration: In sensitive individuals experiencing any of the aforementioned concerns, titration up to a full dose from a low starting dose allows progressive correction of the underlying causes without overloading the patient’s ability to adapt. The goal is to enable the patient to tolerate the full sulforaphane dose at a pace that eliminates symptoms whilst simultaneously restoring homeostasis. Instructions for Dose Titration:1. Discontinue all source of SFN – cruciferous vegetables, broccoli sprout powder and/or capsules. 2. Assuming symptoms abate, resume SFN at a very small dose. This dose may be as little as will fit on the tip of a sharp vegetable knife blade. EnduraCell® powder is the best option, although capsules can be opened. 3. Take this dose daily for a few days to ensure that the gastrointestinal system feels comfortable. 4. Gradually increase the dose by taking a second similar dose each day. 5. Repeat the process by increasing a little each day, monitoring symptoms to determine daily dose. 6. Typically, within 2 weeks, the standard recommended dose will not produce significant ill effects. In severe cases, tolerance may take weeks more to achieve. Be guided by the patient’s response. 7. Those with known dysbiosis or other gastrointestinal issues will typically find that these symptoms have either partially or fully cleared. Cruciferous vegetables can be re-introduced at this stage. 8. Where a patient has been intolerant to other foods, their introduction can be trialled one at a time.
