心腦強功能性和安全性研究
心腦強功效是由7種植物萃取成份組合而成,綜合起來對整個的心腦血管健康都能起到一定的保護和改善作用。心腦強不但對總膽固醇,好膽固醇、壞膽固醇、三酸甘酯等有正面的調節作用,也對血管彈性、血管粥樣硬化、血流量、心肌供氧量有正面的調節作用。下面我們就每個成份一一作概要的說明。
冬蟲夏草 (CordycepsPrime™, Cordyceps sinensis)
1. 總攬
蟲草是一種真菌,在中國使用已有數千年歷史。在各類中藥古典著作中,蟲草被推薦為一味至上的典效的中藥,入肺賢兩經。由于數量極為稀少,在歷史上只有少數富有的人用得起。過去20年來透過發酵工藝,蟲草的價格已經平民化了。
2. 成份
樂喜思的特選蟲草萃取物含有多種氨基酸、核苷酸、甘露醇、植物固醇、礦物質、維生素等。
3. 研究
蟲草對人體的生理影響有大量體外、動物、和人體實驗資料。具體的來說,在蟲草對心臟細胞所產生的能量,心臟的受氧量,人體細胞粒腺體腺苷三磷酸的產生,小鼠肺含氧量,肝組織超氧歧化酶含量等都有不少實驗資料。青蛙腦內的過氧脂質和氧化酶,心跳速度,心冠動脈血流量和心臟血流量被研究測量過,小鼠在低氧狀況下其存活時期和血管壁擴張狀況亦經研究測量過。
數個蟲草雙盲人體實驗,包含有大量人數,在中國幾家大型國家級、省級和市級醫院實驗過,請參閱下列統計資料:

3. 研究
有幾個人體臨床實驗檢測了絞股藍對人體內好膽固醇(高密度脂蛋白)和壞膽固醇(低密度脂蛋白)的影響。這些實驗觀察了絞股藍對分解脂肪細胞裡的脂肪,在脂肪細胞裡將血糖合成為脂肪,和將脂肪在血管壁上堆積的生化變化過程做了一些觀察。
還有一些實驗觀察了絞股藍對高血壓和血管硬化的關係。有一些動物實驗,觀察了絞股藍對心血管和循環系統的影響。美國著名Vanderbilt大學醫學院做了一個絞股藍的體外實驗,顯示它可以誘發血管內皮層產生一氧化氮,以舒張血管,促進對心臟和全身各器官的供血量和供氧量。

刺梨 (RosaEx™, Rosa roxburghii, Cili fruit)
1. 總覽
刺梨生長于中國南方一些省份,它含有豐富的維生素C,多酚,維生素,黃酮、微量元素和氨基酸。成熟果肉中的維生素C含量比橘子高46倍,黃酮含量比一般綠色蔬菜高出120倍,比一般水果高出10-60倍。
樂喜思對刺梨的營養成分做了詳細的分析,也對它含有了一種特有超氧歧化酶做了人工胃汁的實驗,其結果顯示這種酶能持續2小時保持原來的活性。而不是像一般超氧歧化酶被胃酸破壞了大部分的活性。只有保有活性的超氧歧化酶才能中和和減少超氧自由基對人體細胞的破壞,造成血管內壁和中層的平滑肌受損和導致血管粥樣硬化,引起心肌梗塞,心腦血管硬化。
2. 成分
刺梨含有非常高的超氧歧化酶,維生素C,多酚,維生素,黃酮、礦物質、氨基酸和微量元素。
3. 研究
大量的研究顯示低密度脂蛋白(壞膽固醇)的脂化是動脈硬化的重要原因之一。這是因為對抗壞膽固醇脂化的抗體在有動脈硬化的人的血漿中發現。脂化的壞膽固醇被細胞的遊離受體吸收,結果造成巨噬細胞引發的泡沫細胞的形成。泡沫細胞是構成動脈粥樣硬化的成分,因為它們激發巨噬細胞的繁生。
刺梨對游離基的代謝機制,對游離基對血管內壁細胞的損傷,和對微循環的影響,有成和張二位研究員做了人體實驗。刺梨對心臟的各種血液壓縮力等,也有馬研究員等發表過論文。唐研究員對刺梨的抗脂過氧化,血清中脂蛋白的濃度,紅血球的超氧歧化酶活動,和脂蛋白對超氧歧化酶的比例都做了實驗。
