Puritan’s Pride {Review} and Giveaway
The world of supplements is new to me. I have always given my children a daily vitamin, but I have never been into the different supplements that you see at the store. So when I was asked to review the Heart Health package I was really interested since I was told at my last checkup that my levels were all out of whack.
First let me share a little about the company Puritan’s Pride.
Puritan’s Pride® began over 40 years ago, with the mission of making the finest quality nutritional supplements available at the best value to their customers. Today, the company remains true to its original commitment and serves millions of loyal customers. Puritan’s Pride manufactures thousands of vitamins, minerals, herbs and other nutritional supplements in their state-of-the art facilities located throughout the U.S. As part of the company’s commitment to quality, Puritan’s Pride only uses ingredients from suppliers worldwide that meet their Quality Assurance Standards, as well as Good Manufacturing Practices food quality standards.
The above was nice to learn. I was familiar with the brand but didn’t know their background.
The package I received included Co Q-10, Phytosterol Complex, Omega-3 Fish Oil, Natural Flax Oil, and Flush Free Niacin. Yep, I had the same look you probably do when I opened and read the names of the supplements. Huh?
So let’s look at each of the products included one at a time:
What is Co Q-10?
Made with a natural, highly bioavailable form of Co Q 10 — Q-Sorb™. Co Q-10 contributes to your heart and cardiovascular wellness.* It also helps support healthy blood pressure levels already within a normal range.* Promotes energy production within your heart, brain and muscles and provides powerful antioxidant support**
Good oral health is linked to cardiovascular health; Coenzyme Q10 supports both!*
Important for Statin drug users++ — taking Q-Sorb™ Co Q 10 can help replenish what Statin drugs can deplete◊
++Note: Coenzyme Q10 is not intended to serve as a replacement for Statin therapy, nor should you discontinue taking any prescribed medications while supplementing with Coenzyme Q10.
What is is Phytosterol Complex?
Phytosterol Complex promotes cardiovascular and circulatory wellness* and may reduce the risk of heart disease. ◊Scientific evidence demonstrates that diets that include phytosterols may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. ◊ Puritan Pride’s specialized formula exceeds strict quality standards for levels of phytosterols (beta sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol) – the active ingredients that help maintain cholesterol levels already within a normal range.*
◊Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 2 g per day of plant sterols eaten with meals or snacks may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Phytosterol Complex supplies 0.5 g of plant sterols.
What are some uses for Omega-3 Fish Oil?
Fish oil supports heart health.* A daily fish oil supplement contains heart healthy nutrients including Omega-3 fatty acids – the ‘good fats’ that help balance the ‘bad fats’ in your diet.*
Puritan’s Pride Ester-Omega® Fish Oil provides 300mg of total omega-3 fatty acids, comprising of EPA, DHA and other fatty acids. EPA and DHA fatty acids support heart health, and provide an energy source for your body. * Purified to eliminate mercury.
What is Natural Flax Oil?
Flaxseed is one of the most concentrated vegetarian source of Omega-3 fatty acids found in nature — it contributes to heart, while providing an energy source for the body.*
What is Flush Free Niacin?
Niacin is a B vitamin that performs many beneficial functions in the body, including promoting a healthy heart and circulatory system.* Niacin aids in maintaining proper metabolic functioning, supporting energy metabolism as well as carbohydrate and protein metabolism.* Niacin capsules also contribute to nervous system health, while helping to maintain healthy skin.*

OK, now that we have the basic information of what each product does and why it is important, let me explain that taking them was the easy part. I have been using these products for several weeks and although I don’t feel a major change in my health, I do find that I am sleeping better and feel more alert during the day. Ask me again in three months when I have my next checkup and levels checked.
