Your arteries are a network of blood vessels that serve as a transport system for oxygenated blood and essential nutrients, distributing them to cells throughout your body based on demand. Efficient distribution depends on the arteries’ ability to constrict and dilate, reducing flow to inactive or low demand cells, and increasing it to cells where demand is high.
For example, when you exercise, certain arteries dilate to increase blood flow to the cells involved, while others – like those feeding your digestive tract – constrict, shunting a greater share of blood to high-demand cells.
Learn about the causes of arterial plaque buildup, and how Plaquex IV therapy can help restore efficient arterial function.
Causes of Arterial Hardening
Atherosclerosis – sometimes called “hardening of the arteries” – is a critical health condition where the arterial walls become coated in plaque, causing them to stiffen and dramatically reducing their ability to constrict and dilate. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, atherosclerosis is an inflammatory condition that is closely associated with metabolic disorders like obesity, diabetes, chronic systemic inflammation, and heart disease, along with lifestyle factors like smoking, poor diet, and lack of physical activity.
Arterial plaque is made up of deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and fibrin. As those substances circulate in your bloodstream, some of them stick to the inner arterial walls, causing a gradual buildup of plaque. Over time, the plaque inhibits arterial compliance, restricting the ability of arteries to constrict and dilate, and narrowing blood vessel diameter.
Narrower vessels require greater pressure for blood to pass through to meet cellular demands, causing a condition called hypertension. If arteries become too narrow, or if a clot of blood travels from other parts of the body and blocks the vessel altogether, oxygenated blood cannot get to the cells. When blood flowing to the heart is blocked or restricted, it can cause a heart attack, while restricted blood flow to the brain can cause a stroke.
How Plaquex Helps Reduce Atherosclerosis
Plaquex (phosphatidylcholine) is a natural substance derived from soy that has been shown to remove both fatty and hardened plaques from the arteries, restoring compliance and increasing blood vessel diameter. This restores efficient flow of oxygen and nutrients to the cells, and allows for the repair of damaged arterial walls.
Benefits of Plaquex include:
- Improved blood lipid profile – the ratio of circulating LDL to HDL cholesterol.
- Reduces the oxidative deterioration of lipids caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS).
- Increases arterial compliance – the ability of arteries to constrict and dilate in response to cellular demand.
- Reduces systemic inflammation
- Supports healthy liver and kidney function.
- Often used as a detoxification and anti-aging agent.
As your arteries are cleansed of plaque and efficient blood flow is restored, cells throughout your body reap the benefits of better oxygenation and more efficient nutrient delivery. This can translate to better overall health, and improved mental and physical performance.
Plaquex IV Therapy vs Oral Supplements
While Plaquex and similar products are available as oral supplements, their potency and efficacy can be dramatically reduced during the digestive process. By contrast, direct intravenous infusion delivers Plaquex directly to your bloodstream, where it can get right to work on de-plaquing your arterial walls.
Plaquex is a plant-derived substance and not a drug, so you don’t need a medical prescription to realize its benefits. However, Plaquex is not a stand-alone solution. Metabolic disorders like atherosclerosis are mostly lifestyle-related, and Plaquex should be used as part of a lifestyle modification plan that includes dietary changes and increased physical activity.
If you are currently being treated for atherosclerosis or other metabolic disorders, you should consult your healthcare provider before taking Plaquex or other supplements.Improve Your Arterial Health with Plaquex IV Therapy in NYC
