Coenzyme Q10 is a fat soluble nutrient that occurs naturally in the human body. Energy cannot be produced on a cellular level, without it. The heart utilizes more cellular energy than any other organ. CoQ10 is an essential nutrient for healthy heart function. It protects and strengthens the heart. Clinical studies have revealed CoQ10 deficiencies in the heart tissues of people with heart problems. CoQ10 may help with promoting healthy blood pressure. CoQ10 is a strong antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals that damage cells. As we age, the body loses its ability to manufacture adequate amounts of CoQ10 and supplementation is recommended.

Note: It is best to take CoQ10 with a little bit of fat, like flax or olive oil for better assimilation.

Gugulipid is the purified extract form of the medicinal plant named Gum Guggul, which is a resinous material that comes from the Mukul Myrrh tree (Commiphora mukul) in India. In the classic Ayurvedic medical system, Guggul has been used for lipid (fat) problems. In scientific studies, Gugulipid has been shown to support healthy cholesterol levels along with promoting weight loss.* Gugulipid has antioxidant properties that appear to protect the heart against free radical damage.

Hawthorne Extract is recognized as a cardiotonic herb that may be helpful in supporting healthy heart function. The high concentration of flavonoid compounds, known as proanthocyanidins, are primarily responsible for its cardiovascular and free radical scavenging activity.*

Proanthocyanidins may also increase blood and oxygen supplies to the heart. Hawthorn extract may be helpful in promoting healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels along with protecting against the buildup of cholesterol in the arteries. In clinical studies, Hawthorn shows much promise in its ability to dilate coronary blood vessels that supply the heart with nutrients and oxygen. The flavonoid compounds have been shown to decrease the constriction of coronary vessels which may enhance the smooth flow of blood into the arteries as well.

L- Carnitine is an important amino acid that assists in fat metabolism. It plays an important role in the bodys ability to convert stored fat into energy. This is an important nutrient for the heart. It regulates fatty build up in the arteries by promoting healthy fat and cholesterol levels in the blood. If there is a decreased level of oxygen supply to the heart, carnitine levels may drop.* Carnitine deficiency may play a part in cardiovascular problems.

Taurine is an amino acid that regulates the heartbeat, aids in fat digestion, the absorption of fat soluble vitamins in the body and in controlling cholesterol levels in the blood. It is an important amino acid for healthy heart function. High concentration of Taurine is found in the heart muscle.
