Supporting every single organ and system in the body, the vascular system is the foundation which underpins your overall health. Calroy Health Sciences focuses on developing dietary supplements aimed at supporting vascular health and the endothelial glycocalyx, to help you live a long and healthy life.
The endothelial glycocalyx (EGX) is a fragile structure that was largely unknown to physicians half a century ago. Initially, scientists observed only a small gap between the blood flow and the vessel walls. However, with advancements in imaging technology in the late 1960s, they discovered that this gap was actually occupied by a microscopically thin, gel-like barrier known as the EGX.
The endothelial glycocalyx (EGX) plays several crucial roles in the vascular system:
- Barrier Function: It acts as a protective barrier between the blood and the vessel walls, preventing harmful substances from penetrating the endothelium.
- Regulation of Blood Flow: The EGX helps regulate blood flow and shear stress, which is essential for maintaining vascular health.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties: It has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce the adhesion of white blood cells to the vessel walls, thereby preventing inflammation.
- Anticoagulant Function: The EGX contains molecules that prevent blood clotting, ensuring smooth blood flow.
- Signal Transduction: It plays a role in signal transduction, helping cells respond to mechanical and chemical stimuli.
These functions make the EGX vital for maintaining vascular integrity and overall cardiovascular health.
