Kathleen Alderson, aged 70, works part-time as a civil servant, currently working in her hometown of Whitley Bay. She was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in her early fifties.
She was recently recommended the innovative supplement Blood Flow+ by a friend. He was taking the cocoa flavanol supplement which contributes to normal blood flow* and said it had been a revelation for him.
Kathleen described how great she felt returning to her old self: “These supplements have made a real difference to me. I can feel my fingertips again for the first time in years.”
Blood Flow+ contains CocoActiv™. It’s the first cocoa flavanol extract recognised by the European Food Safety Authority to help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels which contributes to normal blood flow.*
Kathleen continues: “I continue to take my diabetes medication prescribed by my doctor. But, having read about cocoa flavanols and how they help to maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, I’ve decided to add them to my daily routine.”
“My fingers often used to feel awful. Since taking Blood Flow+ they feel much more normal again.”
Flavanols are naturally occurring compounds found in many fruits and vegetables. Research has shown that flavanols from cocoa can assist the production of nitric oxide, which triggers the relaxation of blood vessels. This process in turn contributes to the maintenance of normal blood flow.*
A daily intake of Blood Flow+ contains the same amount of cocoa flavanols as 400g of high-quality cocoa chocolate, equivalent to 2,249 calories. Each Blood Flow+ capsule contains just two calories despite being made from cocoa.
