Cardiovascular Health

When we talk about cardiovascular health, the discussion should always include the impact of inflammation and cholesterol. It’s common knowledge that the blockages causing cardiovascular disease are initiated by the interaction of arterial inflammation and blood cholesterol. The effort to maintain cardiovascular health is centered in the reduction of these risk factors. Numerous studies are now directed at probiotic’s impact on inflammation and cholesterol levels. Probiotics are involved in the development of regulatory T cells whose purpose is to keep inflammatory responses under control. Probiotics are also associated with reduced blood cholesterol. The mechanisms by which probiotics promote this reduction include the creation of acids which decrease synthesis of cholesterol by the liver, the breakdown of bile acids leading to more cholesterol being drawn from the blood for further bile production and the potential of probiotics to use cholesterol as food for their growth. inner-eco™ Coconut Water Probiotic Kefir provides ample probiotic resources to enable all these processes to occur.*
