Alacer, Emergen-C Heart Health, Black Cherry Flavor - 36 Packets We have developed this unique and important Emergen-C Heart Health formula in response to the growing concern over cholesterol levels and general heart health. Lycopene and Vitamin C (as Mineral Ascorbates): Research has shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables (which contain Vitamin C and Lycopene) is associated with a healthy heart. Both Vitamin C and Lycopene, a known powerful antioxidant, are key ingredients in our formula. 4 packets per day gives you the same amount of Lycopene found in ½ lbs. of fresh tomatoes! Plant Sterols: Virtually every plant contains natural sterols, which work with your body chemistry to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels when combined with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and low in saturated fat. For maximum benefit it is important to take 1 to 2 packets, twice daily with meals. Reader Reviews URGENT: We tried the cranberry version and the ruby lemon honey (immune defense) version. They tasted great but caused very serious heart-related symptoms! Important caveat and warning for people with high blood pressure, heart problems -- something in the ones we took cause heart rates to increase, flutter and/or palpitations in some people -- maybe not all -- but at least three people in our family started experiencing increased heart rates, irregular heart rates, high blood pressure, sleep disturbances! We measured it on my mom's blood pressure monitor and all three went sky high -- dangerous levels! I have a feeling there may be ephedra or something similar that is not listed -- I would bet many of the ingredients, especially the C (synthetic C ascorbic acid is mainly produced in and) are from China. BE CAREFUL BEFORE YOU USE THIS PRODUCT. AT THE VERY LEAST PAY ATTENTION TO INCREASES IN HEART RATE/BLOOD PRESSURE, INSOMNIA, ETC. Once we stopped taking the product, the problems started to subside. Something is wrong with the ingredientsin the ones we took and I wouldn't be surprised to see a recall soon. |
