Heart & Circulation
Heart & Circulation – Nutrients & Plant Extracts at a Glance
In this category, we bring together nutrients and plant extracts that are traditionally associated with the topic of heart & circulation. Represented here are, among others, red rice with monacolin K, black garlic, nattokinase from fermented soy, as well as plant extracts such as pomegranate and artichoke. All Scheunengut products are vegan, lab-tested and bottled in Germany.
Origin & Extraction
The compounds come from very different sources: fermented rice provides monacolin K, matured garlic is processed into an extract, and nattokinase is produced during the fermentation of soy. Added to these are plant extracts from pomegranate (with ellagic acid) and artichoke (with cynarin), as well as classic bitter-compound and flavonoid raw materials such as rutin and sweet clover.
Standardisation & Format
Many extracts are standardised to a defined content, for example to a certain percentage of polyphenols, ellagic acid or cynarin. They are offered predominantly as capsules, some gastro-resistant, as well as complex preparations. They are often combined with minerals such as copper or manganese.
What to Look for When Buying
- Standardised, transparently declared content (e.g. monacolin K, ellagic acid, cynarin)
