Cardiochron®

Folic acid supports the healthy functioning of the entire nervous system while also supporting healthy homocysteine levels in the blood. According to scientific reports, the regular daily intake of folic acid could help support a healthy cardiovascular system.

Vitamin B12, together with folic acid, plays a role in a number of important physiological processes in the body. Among these are healthy DNA synthesis, blood formation and nerve function. As vitamin B12 levels decrease with progressing age, elderly people often show signs of deficiency, such as impaired neurologic function and a deterioration of cognitive health.

The intake of vitamin B6 also supports healthy homocysteine levels in the blood. It has been shown that people with lower levels of vitamin B6 have a five-fold higher risk of suffering from poor cardiovascular health. Vitamin B6 also helps maintain blood pressure within normal ranges.

The vitamin B complex in Cardiochron^® also provides the following: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin / niacin­amide (B3), pantothenic acid (B5) and biotin. Each of these substances has a unique biochemical structure and physiological function. Because they are vitamins, it is recommended that they be taken with food. When taken in combination, B vitamins can help support a healthy cardiovascular system.

Magnesium enjoys a well-deserved reputation as being an anti-stress mineral. This electrolyte possesses spasmolytic properties and has a natural relaxing effect on the muscles. Along these lines, magnesium affects not only the skeletal muscles but also the non-striated muscles of the blood vessel system as well as those of the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, magnesium acts as a natural calcium antagonist, helping to support healthy heart function. Thus, in general, magnesium helps maintain cardiovascular health while also helping to maintain blood pressure levels already within normal ranges.

Calcium also exhibits important effects when it comes to maintaining healthy blood flow. Although not all of its mechanisms relating to maintaining healthy circulation are clearly understood, calcium has proven to be beneficial when it comes to helping to maintain blood pressure already within normal ranges. Like magnesium, calcium is present in Cardiochron^® in a form in which it is bound to ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Ascorbic acid is an important protector against free radicals and is also essential for a healthy cardiovascular system.

Coenzyme Q10 protects against free radicals and is essential for energy production in the body. This coenzyme, which is also known as ubiquinone, is active within the respiratory chain of all living cells of the body, and its structure resembles that of vitamins E and K. Coenzyme Q10 is indispensable when it comes to optimal organ function and overall health. Coenzyme Q10 can be helpful in maintaining a healthy heart and immune system, and also helps maintain blood pressure levels already within normal ranges.

Nattokinase is a unique and effective enzyme obtained through the fermentation of soybeans. Nattokinase helps maintain healthy blood flow by supporting normal fibrinolytic (blood clotting) activity and blood mobility.

Grape seed extract (from the variety vitis vinifera) is an extract made from grape seeds which supports healthy oxygen levels in the blood, naturally helping to maintain healthy blood pressure levels already within normal ranges.

Coral Calcium^® promotes an alkaline pH value in the body, thus supporting immune system and overall health, as many diseases only thrive in an acidic environment.

Bioperine^® is an extract derived from black pepper that boosts the bioavailability of the active ingredients in Cardiochron^®.

Another protectant against free radicals in Cardiochron^® is lycopene. This member of the carotenoid family is most often found in tomatoes. Scientific studies have shown that taking lycopene daily with food can help support healthy cardiovascular and immune systems, especially in the elderly.

Finally, a number of L-amino acids are also contained in Cardiochron^®, including L-arginine HCI, L-carnitine, L-lysine HCI, L-proline and L-cysteine HCI. These substances are of great importance to immune system health, as well as healthy circulation, and in combination they help support a healthy heart and cardiovascular system.
