WHAT IS MICROCIRCULATION?

Proper circulation is key for maintaining optimal health. It ensures that blood and oxygen continuously flow throughout the body, allowing every organ to function properly. It helps to heal wounds faster, keeps your brain sharp and your heart healthy, and even gives your complexion a natural flush.

 

Bottom line: BLOOD is LIFE!

 

Microcirculation is the vast network of feed arteries, arterioles, capillaries and venules that supply and drain blood from every tissue and organ in the body. It is in this branching network of microvessels that transport and exchange of heat, respiratory gases, nutrients, waste products, water and hormones occurs between blood and the bodyā€™s tissues.
