THE HEART OPTIMIZER
Pyr¹-Apelin-13 (short isoform), Apelin fragment 12
Apelin-12 is a naturally occurring peptide that acts as a powerful cardiovascular regulator. It improves blood flow, strengthens heart contractions, and enhances how your body processes glucose - all without increasing oxygen demand on the heart. It's being studied for heart failure, metabolic syndrome, and as an anti-aging compound.
