The lifeline of our body is the cardiovascular system. It comprises of the heart, veins, capillaries and arteries. It is responsible for the flow of blood through the body.
Cardiovascular disease is responsible for about 1 in 4 deaths in the US. It equates to about 610,000 people a year.
There are many causes of cardiovascular disease. These include:
- High Blood Pressure
- Lifestyle choices like smoking and drinking too much alcohol
- High Cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Lack of exercise
- Obesity
- Genetics
It’s usually associated with a build-up of fatty deposits inside the arteries. This is called atherosclerosis1. It may also be caused by an increased risk of blood clots.
Atherosclerosis is a reduction of blood flow due to a build up plaque on the walls of the arteries. This plaque narrows the arteries carrying the blood around the body.
Blood Flow Optimizer is a health supplement in pill form that claims to:
- Naturally thin blood & help improve circulation.
- Promote strong, flexible blood vessels.
- Supports proper fibrin function and normal clotting.
- Fight free radical damage throughout your body.
- Promote calcium distribution out of blood & into bones.
So what is it about this little pill that can do all these things? Let’s take a closer look.

How Does Blood Flow Optimizer Work
The company claims that this product is an “all-in-one” solution that works because it helps:
- Naturally thin your blood and helps improve circulation.
- Helps move calcium and other excess minerals out of your arteries (better blood flow).
- Promotes strong, flexible blood vessels (helps prevent ruptures and tears).
- Provides a strong defense against inflammation (major cause stroke).
- Helps move heavy metals & toxins out of your arteries.
- Supports proper fibrin function and normal clotting (results in better blood flow).
- Fights free radical damage throughout your body (anti-aging benefits).
There is clinical evidence that some of the ingredients may help improve circulation. This may in turn help blood flow and improve blood pressure.
The antioxidant effects of some ingredients may help fight free radicals.
The exact amount of each ingredient is not known.
There has been no independent clinical trial on the efficacy of the product as a whole. It is therefore not known whether the product will work as promised.
Blood Flow Optimizer Side Effects

The company do advise that:
If you are pregnant, lactating, trying to conceive, under the age of 18, or taking medications (Coumadin®, heparin or any other blood-thinning medication), consult your health care practitioner before using this or any new nutritional product.
Blood Flow Optimizer Reviews & Complaints
The product is sold direct by the company. I was unable to find many independent reviews and those that I could were positive.
Yvette Quijas has just started using this along with some her family.
She writes:
I just started taking this, and I’m five days into it. I have my mom, daughter, and son (60, 11, and 21 years of age) and myself (37). Here’s what I’ve gathered five days into this. Me and my mom agree the first day we noticed an instant energy increase. I slept better also. I was the only one taking two a day. I’m going to only take one because I also take Dr. Gundry’s Vital Reds and puritans primrose and want my blood flow healthy and not too thin for obvious reasons. So to sum it up, I’m satisfied, and it does what’s intended.
The company reports it has 64,700 satisfied customers over the last 7 years.

Pros & Cons
Blood Flow Optimizer Review: Final Words
The product has many positive reviews and comes from an established company.
The company makes health claims about its benefits that they have not backed up. They claim it is recommended by doctors and scientifically tested. It can reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke.
There are is no indication of any clinical studies that have taken place. The doctors that have recommended it are not named. The exact amount of the individual ingredients is not known. They may not be effective.
I would suggest that the jury may be out on this one. It’s a bit of a fifty-fifty. On one hand you have many satisfied customers. On the other no scientific evidence shows the product works.
You may want to try it and see if it works for you. If not, the company has a few money back guarantee options.
