Heart disease is the biggest killer in the UK and over half of all adults have high levels of cholesterol. With this in mind, it could not be more important to take care of your heart, which you can do easily and effectively with Sirco, new 100% fruit juice scientifically proven to help keep our hearts and circulatory system healthy.

Sirco is the first fruit juice to contain Fruitflow®, a unique bioactive extract taken from tomatoes, scientifically proven to ‘smooth’ blood platelets, therefore reducing incidences of blood clotting, which can in the worst cases lead to heart attack and stroke.
Sirco is not only a heart friendly addition to your diet but a delicious one too. Packed with super-fruits such as pomegranate and blueberry, Sirco is a refreshing treat that can be enjoyed every day. In fact, just one 250ml glass of Sirco daily is all that is recommended to get the full benefits of his heart-helping ingredients, which start to take effect within three hours of the very first glass.
Though Fruitflow® is derived from tomatoes, the juice does not actually taste of them, meaning that the juice tastes purely of the delicious super-fruits shown on the packet.
Dr Chris Steele, MBE, resident GP on This Morning states, “Fruitflow® is an interesting scientific discovery from tomatoes that has the ability to help smooth platelets so they don’t stick together and blood can flow freely which contribute towards a healthy heart and circulation. Simple lifestyle changes can make an incredible difference to our cardiovascular health and drinks such as Sirco offers people the opportunity to look after their heart health as part of a daily healthy diet.”
Alongside Sirco, Nutri Centre nutritionist Shona Wilkinson gives her top tips for looking after your heart:
• Choose fish over red meat Oily cold-water fish contain protective omega 3s which have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disorders. Choose oily fish such as herring, mackerel or sardines to pack a maximum healthy punch for your heart, or take a fish oil supplement such as Nordic Arctic Cod Liver Oil in Lemon (£18.48 for 90 capsules, www.nutricentre.com)
• Include colour The most colourful vegetables contain the most heart-protective antioxidants. Eat plenty of vegetables especially green leafy vegetables
• Get grainy Eat a variety of grains especially whole grains
• Steam! Steam your food as much as possible to preserve nutrients
• Watch your waistline Maintain your correct weight to help reduce your risk of coronary heart disease. Keep your correct waist to hip ratio
• Get moving! Maintain a level of physical activity that keeps you fit and matches your calorie intake
Sirco comes in two new delicious 100% pure fruit flavours, Pomegranate & Orange and Blueberry & Apple, both containing Fruitflow®.
Sirco is available in major retailers such as Waitrose, Holland & Barrett, Ocado and Independent Health food stores, Tree of Life, The Health Store and The Natural Health Company. It is available in 1-litre cartons and retails between £1.89p and £2.49.
