New peer-reviewed research in Frontiers in Neurology reveals the rest of the story about why Endocalyx Pro is so important for your brain health.
Here’s a summary for our customers:
When the microvascular system is healthy and a person is in a resting state, some capillaries are without blood flow and go into reserve. That means that a low level of blood flow moves at a normal rate through only engaged capillaries. Notice in the illustration “Healthy Capillaries: Resting” that the feed flow equals 100, with the two engaged capillaries each at 50.
In the illustration “Healthy Capillaries: Active” the feed flow equals 150, with the three engaged capillaries each at 50.
Key takeaway: The increased number of perfused capillaries whenCapillaries levels are elevated upon increased metabolic demand is vital so that a sufficient amount of nutrients can be delivered to active tissue cells of organs, and waste removed. Here’s a summary for our customers:

Why Unhealthy Capillaries Can’t Provide this Vital Exchange
Unhealthy microvascular systems, whether a person is resting or active, have no reserve capillaries. When blood flow increases with activity, blood is pushed through a small number of available capillaries at a faster speed. Notice in the illustration “Unhealthy Capillaries: Resting, Stage 1” the feed flow equals 100.
The glycocalyx is damaged and the reserve capillary isn’t available. In “Unhealthy Capillaries: Active, Stage 1” when the blood flow increases to 150, the two engaged capillaries now have blood flow at 75 each, faster than when healthy and normal.

Very Unhealthy Glycocalyx Stage 2
When unhealthy capillaries are lined with a very damaged glycocalyx, low blood flow has no capillaries in reserve as illustrated in “Unhealthy Capillaries: Stage 2.” When blood flows slowly through too few capillaries, as illustrated in "Unhealthy Capillaries: Active, Stage 2," delivery of nutrients, hormones, and oxygen, and the removal of waste and carbon dioxide, is insufficient to support active tissues, leading to conditions and diseases. The good news: An unhealthy microvascular system, damaged glycocalyx and dysfunctional capillaries can be restored with Endocalyx Pro*.![cap-unhealthy-resting-stage2-MHS-1500](https://microvascular.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/cap-unhealthy-resting-stage2-MHS-1500.jpg)
