Risk factors for heart disease:

The incidence of heart problems has risen many fold these days. Potential risk factors for heart disease and strokes are stressful lifestyle, lack of physical exercise, bad eating habits, smoking, anxiety, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol levels, low Antioxidants in blood, low levels of Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium.

Coronary artery blockages are the main reason for heart attacks:

In most of the cases heart attacks are caused by the obstruction to the coronary arteries. These are the blood vessels which travel through the wall of the heart and nourish the heart muscle. Since the heart muscle spends a huge amount of energy, it needs ceaseless nourishment. It naturally demands a good supply of blood. Any impairment of these blood vessels interferes with adequate blood flow to the heart muscles. If this blood flow is significantly diminished then the heart signals its difficulties by registering pain or discomfort in the chest and if the blockage in the coronaries is large enough, then it may cause an heart attack.

The following clinical study depicts the role of Arjuna on heart problems:

JAIPUR, India--Researchers here compared the effects of Terminalia Arjuna tree bark with the heart-health benefits of vitamin E in a study published in February's The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India (49:231-5, 2001). In the one-month study, researchers reviewed 105 patients with coronary heart disease, none of whom were on lipid-lowering drugs. At baseline, total cholesterol, triglycerides, lipid peroxidation and HDL and LDL cholesterol were measured. Divided into three groups, group one received a placebo, group two received 400 IU of vitamin E per day and group three received 500 mg of finely pulverized bark powder. No significant changes were found in the placebo or vitamin E groups for total, HDL and LDL cholesterol levels, nor in triglyceride levels. However, in the tree bark group, total and LDL cholesterol were significantly lowered. Notably, lipid peroxidation decreased most significantly in the vitamin E users. The researchers, based at the Monilek Hospital and Research Center here, concluded that Terminalia Arjuna tree bark powder proved to have a significant cholesterol lowering effect.

Arjun Saar also contains Pure Amla Juice ( Indian Gooseberry Juice)

Medicinal Properties of Amla:

Amla reduces unwanted fat because it increases total protein levels; this is due to its ability to create a positive nitrogen balance and it also significantly reduces the levels of free fatty acids. In addition, Amla, in a raw or natural form, reduces cholesteroland cholesterol induced atherosclerosis (Obstruction of the arteries), making it a useful natural product to fight obesity. One study shows that it prevented atheroma (degeneration of the artery walls due to fat and scar tissue). Furthermore, Amla has exhibited considerable effect in inhibiting the HIV virus which ultimately results in the disease AIDS.

Amla is perhaps the single most often mentioned herb in "Charak Samhita".

The fruit is has the highest content of vitamin C of any natural occurring substances in nature.

Amla is most useful treatment of ulcers and hyperacidity.

Amla builds immune system to fight against all kind of viruses like that of Hepatitis, AIDS, Influenza and many others.

Comparison of AMLA SAAR with other sources of Vitamin C: Daily requirement of Vitamin C 90 -150 mg per day
