Vascular Support is formulated to strengthen the endothelial glycocalyx by providing the foundational building blocks that make up this delicate defensive barrier. Clinical Applications Helps to Preserve, Protect, and Regenerate the Endothelial Glycocalyx Supports Optimal Circulation and Blood Flow Helps Maintain Healthy Vascular Permeability Promotes the Synthesis of Nitric Oxide The endothelial glycocalyx (eGCX) is a dense, gel-like meshwork that covers the endothelial cell layer. It makes up an important physical barrier in the vasculature that prevents lipids and other particles from adhering to and entering the endothelium. This special network of membrane-bound proteoglycans and glycoproteins has a profound influence at the vascular wall on the transmission of shear stress and pressure, the maintenance of selective permeability, and controlling adhesion of blood leukocytes and platelets. Vascular Support provides a blend of the major constituents of the eGCX, including glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronan, fucoidan and marine polyphenols, which are designed to protect and regenerate the eGCX. Benefits Mobilee® Hyaluronic Acid Matrix Mobilee® is a hyaluronic acid matrix ingredient extracted from rooster comb that contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is present in the endothelial glycocalyx (eGCX) and plays a central role in numerous functions. Chondroitin Sulfate Chondroitin sulfate is the second most abundant component of the eGCX. In addition to functioning as a vital component of the eGCX, chondroitin sulfate stimulates the synthesis of other glycosaminoglycans of the eGCX, like heparan sulfate and hyaluronan. Compared to glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate provides superior eGCX support due to its role as a precursor and source component of the eGCX, which is one of several mechanisms of action hypothesized for chondroitin sulfate's cardioprotective benefits. Maritech® Synergy Maritech® Synergy is a proprietary, multifunctional, certified organic complex that combines the synergistic effects of specialized polyphenols and fucoidan sourced from the wild brown seaweed known as Fucus vesiculosus. Brown seaweed is known to contain more bioactive components than both red or green seaweed. Fucus vesiculosus has one of the highest antioxidant values and total phenolic content, the most potent polyphenol being phlorotannin. Glycocalyx restoration and other beneficial mechanisms of action support the therapeutic use of fucoidan and phlorotannins from Fucus vesiculosus for cardiovascular wellness. Suggested Use:2 capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.
