Circutol®:
For Comprehensive Circulatory Support*
One of the most critical components of lasting wellness is cardiovascular health. EcoNugenics believes in achieving heart health by using natural, safe, and effective ingredients. Circutol® is a unique formula designed specially to promote complete cardiovascular and circulatory system health.
Integrating traditional herbal remedies, such as Hawthorne berry, with more current discoveries, such as Nattokinase, Circutol® is a comprehensive formula that can effectively support lasting heart health. Composed of six natural heart-protective botanicals, Circutol® promotes healthy circulation, healthy arteries, healthy blood pressure, and healthy cholesterol levels.
To further enhance the formula, we've included Cordyceps and Ganoderma, two medicinal mushrooms that scientific research has shown regulate the production of nitric oxide (a key factor in maintaining healthy blood pressure). *
The Research
Hawthorne berry and Chinese Salvia have long been recognized in herbal medicine for their beneficial heart health effects. Nattokinase is an enzyme derived from the Japanese superfood Natto, a popular fermented soybean dish. Volumes of laboratory and clinical studies have revealed this single enzyme's ability to support healthy blood pressure and maintain circulatory health. Clinical studies have demonstrated the bio-availability of nattokinase, demonstrating that it can effectively get into the blood stream and promote circulatory health.*

Additional Usage Guidelines:
This product is designed to be taken on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after food, or 2 hours either before or after other supplements or medications.
Circutol® is an innovative new product created to promote overall health of the circulatory system. Circutol® combines six scientifically proven ingredients including Nattokinase (NSK-SD™), Hawthorn Berry, Chinese Salvia, L-Carnitine, and two organically grown beneficial mushrooms' mycelium, Cordyceps and Ganoderma (Reishi), each of which are shown to support the health of the heart and blood circulation. Circutol® is designed to safely maintain healthy blood pressure, lipid levels, circulation, normal inflammation processes and provide antioxidants.*
Nattokinase, a serine protease from Bacillus subtillus, is an enzyme isolated from Natto; a popular soybean food in the Japanese diet used for generations as a traditional remedy for maintaining cardiovascular health. Nattokinase (NSK-SD™) is a non-GMO purified source of the fibrinolytic enzyme, and stands for Natural Super Kinase-Spray Dried. Over the last several decades, the activity and safety of nattokinase has been demonstrated in multiple laboratory and clinical studies. One study of blood samples incubated in nattokinase showed significant decrease in red blood cell aggregation and blood viscosity. A randomized controlled clinical trial showed that the use of NSK-SD™ resulted in reduction of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. These results suggest that intake of supplements containing NSK-SD™ may play a role in maintaining healthy blood pressure. In a separate open label, controlled clinical trial on healthy and at risk subjects it was found that oral administration of Nattokinase decreased plasma levels of factors associated with blood clotting (fibrinogen, factor VII, and factor VIII) in all groups and with no significant adverse events.*
Crataegus pinnatifida (Hawthorn Berry) has also been in use for generations. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) it is recommended to lower plasma lipids, and preparations using Hawthorn are classified in the pharmacopeias of Brazil, China, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Hungary, Russia, and Switzerland. The Crataegus species has been shown to help maintain healthy levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in hyperlipidemic humans, and scientists recently identified the active component and mechanism of action to be triterpenic acids. A review of Hawthorn's scientific literature suggests that its cardiovascular benefits include peripheral and coronary vasodilatation, increased antioxidant activity and support of healthy inflammation processes.*
Salvia miltiorrhiza, also known as danshen or Chinese salvia, is widely used in Asia to promote blood flow and overcome blood stasis. Research shows that an active component of Chinese salvia works as a vasodilator, causing blood vessels to relax and increase blood circulation. There is also evidence that Salvia miltiorrhiza can inhibit platelet aggregation. In a controlled pilot study, Salvia miltiorrhiza used in a preparation showed a significant decrease in blood C-reactive protein, a major marker associated with unhealthy inflammation.*
The beneficial mushroom, Ganoderma lucidium, commonly known as Reishi, has shown an antioxidant effect that can benefit arterial walls by lessening overproduction of nitric oxide in macrophages. Reishi mycelium have shown a healthy cardiovascular effect through inhibition of the sympathetic nerve activity. Another prized beneficial mushroom, Cordyceps sinensis with its major bioactive component, Cordycepin has been shown to be supportive of healthy blood pressure and promote vasorelaxant activity.*
L-carnitine is a naturally occurring compound that can be synthesized in mammals from the essential amino acids lysine and methionine, or ingested through diet. This physiological substance is essential for energy production and for fat metabolism. Promising findings for its use have been observed for cardiovascular health, showing it might mitigate some negative effects and enhance physical function. L-carnitine has been shown to have an effect on C-reactive protein. L-carnitine supplementation has been shown to increase exercise capacity in certain individuals.*

Contraindication and Cautions
Do not use if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Does Circutol® promote the break down plaque in arteries and in the blood stream?
Yes, Nattokinase supports healthy blood viscosity, and promotes arterial health.
Is Circutol® a suitable product if I have pre-hypertension?
Circutol® supports both cardiovascular and circulatory health, and is appropriate for pre-hypertension support.
Can I take both Circutol® and Padma Basic® together?
Yes, but it is recommended that these products be taken 1 1/2 hours apart from one another.
Can I take vitamins and other supplements with Circutol®?
Yes, but it is recommended that all other dietary supplements be taken 1 1/2 hours apart from Circutol®.
What does "1,000 FU" mean on the data sheet in regards to Nattokinase?
FU stands for Fibinolytic Units. This is a measure of the breakdown of fibrin, usually by the enzymatic action of plasmin. Fibrin are clots/clumps of sticky protein.
