Maintains Cardiovascular Health*

Clinical Research Area #3

The number one killer of men and women in the U.S. is heart disease. Thrive Adaptogenics supplements can even the odds by helping maintain a healthy heart and a healthy cardiovascular system.*

Plus, our products help maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range. In a double-blind placebo controlled study, 96 healthy participants drank up to 750ml of Thrive Adaptogenics Original per day for 28 days and maintained healthy levels of HDL, LDL and total cholesterol.¹ You may think: Of course, they were already healthy. But wait.

In a supplemental study, 12 participants were administered 4 oz. (120ml) of Thrive Adaptogenics Original daily for 30 days. Like the first trial, individuals with already healthy cholesterol levels remained within the healthy range. But for those adults in the high-end range of normal cholesterol ranges, Thrive Adaptogenics Original showed mild lowering of LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) and minor increase in HDL levels (the good cholesterol).²

In another randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled human clinical trial with current smokers, participants drank 2 ounces (60ml) of Thrive Adaptogenics Original twice daily for one month. Their average total cholesterol was decreased by 6%, LDL was decreased by 6% and their average triglyceride level was also decreased by 12% while HDL cholesterol was increased by 16%. The total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglyceride levels in the control group did not show any significant change after the one-month trial.³

More studies show that the bioactives in Thrive Adaptogenics Original promote healthy HDL and blood pressure levels already within the normal range, and support an overall healthy heart and a balanced cardiovascular system.*
