Restore Your Blood Vessel Health with Plaquex
What is Plaquex?
Plaquex (phosphatidylcholine) is a natural substance from soy that has the ability to remove both fatty and hardened plaques from blood vessels. The Plaquex Formula was initially designed by doctors to dissolve fatty masses that can develop during traumatic surgeries. However, this function was then extended to treating plaques that have built up in our blood vessels over time and is now a therapy in anti-aging medicine.
How Does Plaquex Help?
The presence of plaque is a key step in the process of atherosclerosis, which narrows the vessel’s diameter thus restricting blood flow, increasing blood pressure, and increasing the risk of future occlusion events like heart attacks and strokes.
As Plaquex removes these plaques, it can restore blood flow, repair damage to blood vessel walls, improve blood lipid levels, and maximize oxygen and nutrient cell exchange. This dramatically restores vascular health for wide-spread internal and external anti-aging effects.
Plaquex restores vascular health in the following ways:
- Reducing Total Cholesterol
Total cholesterol measures all the cholesterol in all the lipoprotein particles. In a review of 15 clinical trials treatment with Plaquex reduced total cholesterol by 8.8 to 28.2%. [1,2]
- Reducing LDL Cholesterol
LDL, or “bad cholesterol”, is a significant predictor of atherosclerosis. In studies with 1160 patients, the mean reduction of LDL cholesterol was 31%.[3]
- Increasing HDL Cholesterol
Studies show that HDL Cholesterol, or “good cholesterol” was increased between 10-45%. Very low initial HDL levels had the biggest change while close to normal levels were hardly changed.[4] Improved HDL levels are protective against atherosclerosis.
- Reducing Lipid Peroxidation [5]
Lipid peroxidation is the metabolic process in which reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause the oxidative deterioration of lipids. This process damages cells and is involved in the development of atherosclerosis. In vivo and in vitro studies show a decrease in lipid peroxidation with Plaquex therapy.
Safety
Assessments indicate that Plaquex is well-tolerated at daily intakes of up to 18 grams[6]. However, there are some contraindications, such as those on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor medications, which would be discussed with your healthcare professional prior to treatment. Side effects may include temporary lowering of blood pressure and associated lightheadedness.
