Give cash to the rider
After a salty merienda and a stressful day your mind goes to the heart. Cardiocept packs garlic, hawthorn and banaba, plus malunggay, guyabano and mangosteen, into hard capsules. Take them per the carton. Cash goes to the rider.
Garlic and hawthorn are two old favourites picked for keeping the heart and blood flow in good order.
Banaba, malunggay and guyabano need no introduction in a Filipino kitchen or garden.
A carton holds 20 hard gelatin capsules of the blend, ready to take with water.
5/5
I am a retired bank teller in Manila and love my longganisa. A neighbour in my building takes Cardiocept and left me a carton to try.
I now order my own, take it with water, and I walk around the block every evening. I cut back on salty snacks too, and I feel better in the afternoon.

Use the count printed on the carton, with water. Nothing beyond that is stated, so do not guess a bigger dose.
Ask your doctor first. Garlic and cassia can add to the effect of blood-pressure tablets and blood thinners, so never change your medicine yourself.
Banaba and other bitter plants act on blood sugar, so people with low-sugar episodes should check with a doctor before using it.
No. Garlic can affect bleeding, so tell your surgeon and stop only on their advice.
A name and a number are all we ask for. There is no card, GCash or bank form to fill in.
The supplier's representative checks your address, the number of packs and a delivery schedule that works for you.
