Blood optimisation, involves providing routine blood donations (max. 5 times per year) to help improve the health of vital organs such as your heart and red blood cells. The process of donating blood provides a range of health benefits including reduced risk of cancer, heart disease and hemochromatosis (iron overload).
The risk of heart attacks can be reduced up to 1/3 times. Regular donations encourage faster blood regeneration and slows down oxidation of cholesterol build up.
