Cardiochron®

Basics

In Western industrial nations, cardiovascular concerns rank as one of the leading causes of death. The incidence of hypertonia and atherosclerosis and resulting concerns such as cardiac infarction, stroke, and renal problems is an essential indicator for the health of a population. According to the American Heart Association, at least half of all cardio-related deaths are the result of previously-existing coronary heart disease. One important factor related to cardiovascular concerns seems to be high levels of homocysteine in the blood. Numerous investigations have shown that dietary nutrients such as folic acid in combination with vitamins B6 and B12 can effectively help maintain healthy homocysteine levels. The active ingredients in Cardiochron® are a combination of synergistic nutrients which together promote a health-promoting influence on the heart and the cardiovascular system.    

Effects

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 physiologic 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 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.  This vitamin also helps maintain blood pressure within normal ranges.

The vitamin B complex in Cardiochron® also contains the following:  thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin / niacin­amide (B3), pantothenic acid (B5) and biotin. All these substances have a unique biochemical structure and physiologic function. Since 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 has the well-deserved reputation of 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, it helps maintain cardiovascular health while also helping to maintain blood pressure levels already within normal ranges.

Calcium also has important effects when it comes to maintaining healthy blood flow.  Although not all of its mechanisms in relation to helping to maintain 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 for optimal organ function and for 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 soy beans. Nattokinase helps maintain healthy blood flow by supporting normal fibrinolytic (blood clotting) activity and blood mobility.

Megagrape BP® is a patented extract made from grape seeds which naturally helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels already within normal ranges by supporting healthy oxygen levels in the blood.

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.

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 with food daily 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 arginine, carnitine, lysine, proline, and cysteine. 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.

Uses

The well-balanced combination of active ingredients in Cardiochron® supports healthy heart function and healthy circulation in many ways, including helping to maintain blood pressure levels already within normal ranges and protecting against damaging free radicals. The regular intake of Cardiochron® is recommended for those who are subjected to chronic stress, or for anyone who just wants to supplement their diet to help maintain optimal cardiovascular health.
