Dr. Loges vasoLoges Concept (formerly protect) 120 tablets

The special combination of nutrients for normal vascular function

vasoLoges® protect contains the seven natural ingredients:

• L-arginine: The amino acid (protein building block) L-arginine provides the material for the messenger substance nitrogen. The body is able to synthesize L-arginine, but not in sufficient quantities. Therefore, it should also be ingested through food.
• Pycnogenol®: The original extract from the bark of the French maritime pine contains a mixture of valuable secondary plant substances: flavonoids, monomeric catechins and phenolic acids. Pycnogenol® improves microcirculation and protects the inner walls of vessels.
• R(+)-alpha-lipoic acid: Acts as an antioxidant and - unlike conventional lipoic acid - vasoLoges® protect contains the pure, biologically active form of R(+)-alpha-lipoic acid.
• Vitamin K2 (MK-7): It is contained in a form that the body can easily use (MK-7). Vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting and is partly responsible for the fact that the deposit of calcium does not take place in the vessel wall, but properly in the bones.
• Vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid: Contribute to normal homocysteine ​​metabolism. The vitamins B6 and B12 also take on important functions for the normal formation of red blood cells. As the Wales Heart Research Institute showed, folic acid also has an independent positive effect on endothelial function that is even independent of homocysteine ​​metabolism.

Healthy vessels are elastic

Healthy vessels are free of deposits, flexible and elastic. Fat deposits on the endothelium, the innermost wall of the vessels, make them narrower and harder. The heart then has to pump harder so that the blood flow reaches all body cells despite the narrowing. Blood pressure increases, damage to the vascular wall increases and the disrupted vascular function - endothelial dysfunction - progresses.
