Every cardiovascular & anti-inflammatory herbs entry in the Typed supplements library. Each one is a full page: what it does, stage by stage, and what the evidence says.
- Beetroot / Nitrate ExtractA concentrated extract of beetroot’s natural nitrate content, used to modestly lower blood pressure and boost blood flow during exercise.
- Beta-SitosterolA plant compound so similar to cholesterol that it crowds cholesterol out of your gut absorption — with decent evidence for both cholesterol and mild prostate symptoms.
- Bilberry ExtractA blueberry relative — good evidence says it won’t sharpen your night vision, despite the WWII pilot story.
- ButterburA migraine-prevention herb where using the right, PA-free version is a matter of liver safety, not just quality.
- FeverfewA traditional herb studied for cutting how often migraines happen — not for stopping one already underway.
- Garlic ExtractIts key compound only forms once you crush or chew it.
- HawthornOne of the more traditionally used herbs for heart support.
- Hibiscus ExtractA traditional deep-red tea from hibiscus flower calyces, studied for lowering blood pressure by a modest but real amount.
- NattokinaseAn enzyme purified from a traditional Japanese fermented soybean food, studied for supporting healthy circulation and clot breakdown.
- PolicosanolA sugarcane-wax extract that looked like a natural statin in early Cuban trials — but independent researchers elsewhere couldn’t reproduce the effect.
- Red Yeast RiceA traditional Chinese fermented rice product that, when it contains enough of its active compound, is chemically the same as a prescription cholesterol drug — with the same risks and none of the dose control.
- SerrapeptaseAn enzyme first found in silkworms, used in parts of Asia and Europe for decades as an anti-inflammatory, though the modern clinical evidence for it is thin.
- Turmeric / CurcuminBarely absorbed at all on its own.
- White Willow BarkWillow bark contains a natural relative of aspirin’s active ingredient — with similar cautions.
