New all-natural Omega 7 supplement targets healthy cholesterol levels

Jan. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Cardia 7™, the new Omega 7 nutritional supplement distributed by Basic Organics, is the result of years of scientific research to develop a pharmaceutical grade Omega 7 product with the intent to raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels without the flushing effects of niacin.

Dubbed “The Heartier Omega”, Cardia 7 contains ultrapurified concentrations of palmitoleic acid. Research has shown that palmitoleic acid, which is completely natural, and derived from the monounsaturated (MUFA) family of fatty acids, can simultaneously increase HDL cholesterol (“good cholesterol”), lower LDL cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”), and lower triglycerides.

“It is well established that niacin helps reduce harmful cholesterol levels in the bloodstream,” explains Jeffrey Green, Ph.D. “Niacin elevates HDLs (high density lipoprotein cholesterol) thereby decreasing the ratio of the total cholesterol over high density cholesterol. However, the use of niacin is often met with uncomfortable side effects of flushing, leading a significant number of consumers to discontinue its use. Cardia 7 is a great “no-flush” alternative to niacin."

"Think of HDL as the garbage trucks of your body,” said Dr. Green. “HDL transports cholesterol back to your liver, where it is metabolized and removed from your body. This is why HDL cholesterol is often referred to as ‘good’ or ‘protective’ cholesterol”.

"Combining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and Cardia 7™ capsules are great steps in your efforts for a healthy heart.”

Cardia 7 is available directly from its website or from select global resellers. For more information, visit http://www.cardia7.com.
