  • Anti-thrombotic: tending to prevent a blood clot within a blood vessel

  • Anti-atherosclerotic: preventing fatty deposits and fibrosis of the inner layer of the arteries from forming

  • Anti-inflammatory: counteracting inflammation (heat, pain, swelling, etc.)

  • Improves endothelial function: a major factor in promoting the growth of new blood vessels

Lowers blood pressure

Improves lipid profile: lowers triglyceride, lowers LDL cholesterol
