TECHNICAL SUMMARY SHEET Cardio Support Softgels (VL155) Indications Cardio Support Softgels has the following benefits: Promotes healthy circulation Provides antioxidant protection May help keep homocysteine levels in check Heart Health Background & Application Diet, exercise and stress reduction all affect the health of the heart and cardiovascular system. Research shows the important role some nutrients play in improving heart health. Research Summaries Fish Oils & Garlic Oil It is well established that omega-3 fatty acids hold cardioprotective effects. EPA and DHA lower triglyceride levels, and may be anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory1. Garlic oil has been shown to reverse the damage done following myocardial infarcation2 in addition to its well known antioxidant and anticoagulant effects in heart disease prevention and progression. CoQ10 Studies in the last 20 years show CoQ10 as a beneficial therapy for congestive heart failure, hypertension, as an adjunctive therapy for statin usage, and other cardiovascular-related disorders. One study showed preoperative CoQ10 supplementation in patients undergoing heart surgery improved mitochondrial efficiency and increased tolerance to hypoxia-reoxygenation stress3. Vitamins B6, B12, Folate & Niacin B-vitamins play multiple roles in heart health. Deficiencies of these resulted in elevated homocysteine levels which have negative vascular effects4. A recent study demonstrated the synergistic effects folic acid, vitamin B6 and omega-3 fatty acids had on atherogenic indices and fibrinogen concentrations5. Niacin is often prescribed by physicians to promote healthy cholesterol levels, skin

Resveratrol Epidemiological, animal and in vitro studies correlate a high resveratol intake with a lowered risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer1. Typically found in the skin of grapes and in certain roots like Japanese knotweed, studies show the antioxidant inhibits LDL oxidation and platelet aggregation1. Hawthorn Berry Extract Hawthorn has been shown to play a role in the prevention and treatment of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and congestive heart failure.
