Ingredient #2: Lemon — The Vascular Refresher
Lemon does more than add flavor.
Why Lemon Matters for Arteries
Lemon provides:
- Vitamin C (supports blood vessel integrity)
- Natural citric acid (supports mineral absorption)
- Polyphenols (plant antioxidants)
Vitamin C plays a role in:
- Collagen formation (important for vessel walls)
- Reducing oxidative stress
- Supporting nitric oxide availability (important for vessel flexibility)
Lemon also gently stimulates the liver, which plays a key role in cholesterol processing and blood quality.
