Product Description:

This formula contains an array of ingredients designed to ensure optimal heart health.

Product Details:

Vitamin C is arguably the most important water-soluble biological antioxidant. It can scavenge both reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species. Vitamin E is thought to have anti- atherogenic activity through a variety of mechanisms including, anti-oxidant protection of LDL cholesterol, inhibition of protein kinase C, decreased platelet adhesion and decreased thrombin production.  These processes are implicated in the atherogenic process whereby material is laid down and hardens in the arteries causing them to narrow.  It is suggested that Vitamin K may also have some anti-atherosclerotic effects.  High doses of Nicotinic acid has been found to significantly decrease cardiovascular and cerebro-vascular events in those with coronary heart disease. It is thought that this effect is due, in part, to nicotinic acid's anti-hyperlipidemic activity.

Essential cardio-protective minerals are included.  Magnesium may be effective in treating cardiac arrhythmias in those who both with and without magnesium deficiency. The antioxidant activity of Selenium is mainly accounted for by virtue of its role in the formation and function of the selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidases. The possible anti-atherogenic activity of selenium may be accounted for, in part, by its antioxidant activity. Glutathione peroxidase may protect low density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation.  The mechanism of the possible hypocholesterolemic activity of chromium is unknown but may be associated with glucose-regulatory activity.

Coenzyme Q-10 is a vitamin-like compound present in virtually all cells. Primary functions include activity as an antioxidant, membrane stabilizer, and as a cofactor in many metabolic pathways, particularly in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in oxidative respiration.  Many of supplemental L-Arginine's activities, including its possible anti-atherogenic actions, may be accounted for by its role as the precursor to nitric oxide or NO. NO is produced by all tissues of the body and plays very important roles in the cardiovascular system, immune system and nervous system.

Taking Hawthorn orally has been shown to reduce subjective symptoms associated with heart failure. Gingko leaf might work by protecting tissues from oxidative damage. Ginkgo leaf flavonoids have antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties The flavonoids seem to prevent or reduce cell membrane lipid peroxidation, and decrease oxidative damage to erythrocytes.
