Does anyone know the main difference between the two? I contacted a few websites who say the Endocalyx is the newer updated version of Arterosil but that may be for their profit benefits. If you look at the ingredients in each, it appears that the original patented formula in Arterosil was
Rhamnan sulfate derived from the green seaweed Monostroma nitidum. In Endocalyx it appears the main compound is “ The type of brown seaweed used in Endocalyx is Laminaria Japonica. An extract is produced which is certified to have
a minimum extract rate of 85% of the compound fucoidan sulfate. ”

Does anyone know what the better formula is if your goal is overall cardiovascular health? Thank you.

good question. i personally prefer arterosil, which is the original product in the category, has more research on the finished product, and has a far stronger scientific team supporting their formulations and research.

Excellent thanks! Have you found another supplement or way to just use the extract that does all the heavy lifting in that formula as the proprietary blend of everything else doesn’t seem very important?

The main ingredient,fucoidan sulfate, seems to be the one that does " the heavy lifting", and which is readily available. A quick search on Pubmed suggests that is the one with some research backing it.

Adding glucosamine sulfate, would also help. This way it would probably work out cheaper than buying this product.

It is my understanding that Arterosil was the first glycocalyx (support) product on the market. The original formulator then sold the company and later started the company that developed Endocalyx Pro. This new company also sells the device to test one’s glycocalyx and supplementing with their Endocalyx Pro product appears to increase the glycocalyx based on testing results.

 

There is also a third product brought to market by Ortho Molecular Products. Originally the product was called Glycocalyx Pro and was a three capsule per serving formulation. They then renamed the product RegeneVasc and it’s now a two capsule per serving. It looks like they switched out the Glucosomine Sulfate Potassium Chloride with Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium to be able to fit into two capsules. The price remained the same.

 

Recently, I discovered a forth product developed by one of the scientists that worked with the guy who came up with Aterosil. This forth product is called ReVasca. You can find it at: glycocalyx.com

 

All four of these products average around $100 per month unless you take advantage of the subscription service and then you can get some of them down to around $80 a month.

 

I agree with the previous poster. It appears that Fucoidan Sulfate (derived from Seaweed) appears to be the heavy lifter. You can watch the videos below to learn more about the glycocalyx and what constitutes it:

Below is my poor man’s version of supplements for Glycocalyx support which costs less than half of the four products mentioned above. If anyone else would like to add their recommendations for a piece meal approach please feel free to add to the discussion.

 

Doctor's Best Fucoidan 70% - 60 Veggie Caps: $27.29 per month. Two capsules contains 420 mg of Fucoidan.

 

NOW Chondroitin Sulfate -- 600 mg - 120 Capsules: $5.35 per month. One capsule contains 600 mg of Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium.

 

Force Factor Hyaluronic Acid -- 200 mg - 60 Vegetable Capsules: $4.27 per month

 

Total cost: $36.91 per month.

 This is looks like a good stack.

 

Couple of points which we should address:

 

a) Is chondroitin sulfate similar in its MOA to  Glucosomine Sulfate ?

 

b) Hyaluronic acid comes in 2 forms, one is low molecular weight and the other is high molecular weight. Which form is best and which have thy used I'm not sure.
