Promotion of Normal Cholesterol and Heart Health*

Cardiovascular disease, which includes heart attacks and strokes, is the #1 killer of both women and men in the US. Some experts estimate that an astounding 140 million Americans are at risk for heart disease, or 1 out of every 2 people. Unfortunately because you can't "feel" high cholesterol levels, most people don't learn of their condition until it's too late.

What Causes Heart Disease?

The primary factors for an increased risk of heart disease are:

  • High cholesterol & high blood pressure
  • A high-fat, high-cholesterol diet
  • Being overweight or physical inactivity
  • Diabetes
  • Age, sex, and family history
  • Smoking

Healthy Support With Soy?

Studies show that regular soy protein consumption promotes normal cholesterol levels and overall better lipid health (soy may also promote good "HDL cholesterol" levels).1-6

After years of carefully reviewing human clinical studies on soy and cholesterol, the FDA concluded that diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease.1 This amount is easy to achieve with just one Revival bar or shake and a Revival snack daily.

Initially, attention to soy's benefits for heart health came from data revealing significantly better cardiovascular health in Asian populations with a soy-rich diet. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which analyzed 38 soy clinical trials, found that regular soy consumption promoted normal cholesterol and triglyceride health.2

A large Revival cholesterol study, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has found that 20 grams of Revival soy protein containing 160 milligrams of soy antioxidants (found in one naturally concentrated bar or shake supplement), helps to promote normal cholesterol health too.

Revival's great taste makes adding 25 grams of soy protein or more per day to your diet not only easy, but delicious.

Suggested Usage: Enjoy 1 naturally-concentrated (6x) Revival bar or shake per day with a good multivitamin. Use Revival's baked soy chips, soy pasta, soy nuts, & soy "coffee" to boost protein intake, decrease between-meal/late-night snacking, and to increase energy. Regular daily consumption is important for achieving all of soy's potential benefits. Buy Now | When can I expect results?
