        Cardiovascular Disease remains the leading cause of death in the world. Risks factors include obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, inflammation, poor diet, chronic stress, Hypertension, and sedentary lifestyle.

          The heart protective benefits of antioxidants, lipid soluble and hydro soluble vitamins, and fats are well documented in numerous clinical studies. A short list of the nutrients:

 

  1. Omega 3, found in cold water fish and krill is perhaps the most recognized healing fat in the world. As I say frequently in my office, “You have to take it, you don’t make it.” Omega 3 has been documented to lower triglycerides, blood pressure, and inflammation.

2.Magnesium is crucial for all bodily functions and has been used for all types of cardiovascular conditions including arrythmias, Hypertension, elevated cortisol (which increases damage to cellular components and hastens mitochondrial damage). 50% of the U.S. population have a deficiency in magnesium!

  1. 3. Acetyl- L- Carnitine is an amino acid used for memory loss, fat loss, and strengthening the heart and other muscles in the body. It is often combined with alpha lipoic acid in the treatment of vascular diseases, High blood pressure, and used in neuro protective protocols.
  2. CoQ 10 is a powerful antioxidant that protects against damage from toxic free radicals and may have significant benefit for patients suffering from heart failure, COPD, and helps to prevent atherothrombosis in patients who have had a heart attack.
  3. 5. Folic acid, B-6 found in methylated forms like B Active and B Supreme are the subject of many studies involving heart health. They improve endothelial function and protect against stroke and other cardiac diseases.
  4. Bergamot has become a highly revered supplement in the therapeutic prevention of Hypertension, elevated “bad” cholesterol, and reduction of arterial plaque. It is also prescribed for elevated blood sugar levels.
