Synopsis

1) Circulation Formula at a Glance

Circulation Formula is a mixture of herbal ingredients, vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients designed to promote a healthy circulation function, which in turn benefits the brain, the heart and other essential body processes and organs.

One of the core ingredients of Circulation Formula is the Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract, an extremely popular herbal ingredient frequently used to promote brain benefits. Ginkgo Biloba’s blood flow enhancing and antioxidant properties gives it a wide spectrum of medical uses, however it is generally prescribed to prevent age-related memory loss (in Alzheimer’s disease and dementia treatment) and to treat mild cognitive impairment symptoms. There is evidence that Ginkgo might be effective in relieving anxiety disorders symptoms and depressive mood. It is well-tolerated by most individuals; however, mild side effects such as headache, stomach upset, constipation, dizziness and forceful heartbeat have been reported.

L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid, meaning it can be obtained from food but is also produced by the body. Its core benefits include muscle building, sexual enhancement, heart health and proper brain functioning. L-Arginine is believed to be able to prevent and affect the origination and development of Alzheimer’s disease. Also, preliminary evidence shows that the combination of L-Arginine with the amino-acid L-lysine may reduce symptoms of anxiety as well as alleviate stress symptoms. As a supplement, L-Arginine is considered safe if used on short term. Side effects such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood abnormalities, allergies, worsening of asthma and low blood pressure may appear as a result of using L-Arginine.

Circulation Formula includes the following ingredients: L-Arginine (from L-Arginine Monohydrochloride), Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Stearic Acid, L-Lysine HCl, Muira Puama (Potency Wood) Bark Extract, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Natural Lemon and Peppermint Flavor, Magnesium Stearate, Butcher’s Broom Rhizome Extract, Horse Chestnut Seed Extract, PhytoZyme proprietary blend (Bromelain, Papain, Aloe Vera, Alfalfa, Parsley, and vegetable and fruit powders from Carrots, Broccoli, Spinach, Cauliflower, Asparagus, Celery, Beet, Chili Pepper, Green Bean, Pea, Sweet Potato, Cucumber, Pumpkin, Snow Pea, Tomato, Zucchini, Lima Beans, Mushroom, Banana, Cantaloupe, Cranberry, Guava, Lemon, Mango, Orange, Papaya, Peach, Pineapple and Grapefruit), Niacin (Nicotinic Acid), Thiamin (Vitamin B-1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2), Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine HCl), Folic Acid, and Vitamin B-12 (Cyanocobalamin).

3) Is Circulation Formula Right for You?

Circulation Formula is a blend of various amino acids and herbal extracts, claimed to promote healthy blood circulation.

L-Arginine is an amino acid essential for adults because, after the age of 30, the pituitary gland almost stops secreting it. Along with other substances, this amino acid is critical in the synthesis and processing of HGH (Human Growth Hormone). L-Arginine stimulates the production of sperm and can influence male fertility. Men need larger amounts of this compound than women do, as semen contains almost 80% of the total quantity of this amino acid, and deficiency can lead to sterility. Some studies also suggest it helps detoxify the body by aiding the liver. Preliminary research also suggests is supports the immune system.

Ginkgo Biloba is an ingredient known to improve blood circulation. It increases the oxygen flow to the brain, improving all cognitive functions to some extent. However, this formula contains only small amounts of this herbal extract, so this may affect its overall effect.

The recommended dosage is six tablets a day. Take with a glass of liquid and swallow tablets whole. Do not hold in the mouth.
