Cartia...LOW DOSE ASPIRIN

Cartia is specifically designed to combat micro thrombosis during pregancy.
Studies have found that cabin crew can be predisposed to miscarriages caused by micro thrombosis which form in the umbilical cord and deprive the unborn child of both nutrient and oxygen.
"Cardio lipin" is a protein which is a precursor to the formation of thrombosis and can be effectively prevented by LOW DOSE aspirin...generic name Cartia.
After 3 miscarriages Cartia was introduced into my wifes oral regimen by our physician....voila...
Success..... a healthy bouncing baby boy.
3 miscarriages for us was very emotional..Cartia appeared to save the day.
