Blood Pressure Regulation
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is the most common cardiovascular disease. Blood pressure refers to the force of blood pushing against artery walls as it courses through the body. This puts people at risk of heart disease, stroke and even kidney disease. One in three adults has high blood pressure, especially among the elderly. However, about 21% of sufferers do not even know they have it. Plant extracts provide a more secure and reliable means of regulating blood pressure.Weight Loss

Obesity is recognized as a social problem, associated with serious health risks and increased mortality. Numerous trials have been conducted to find and develop new anti-obesity drugs through herbal sources to minimize adverse reactions associated with the present anti-obesity drugs.
